Life and career

edit

Majima was born on April 22, 1955,[1] in Itoigawa, Niigata.[2] She graduated from Takada Girls' High School (now Joetsu High School), where she was part of the drama club, in 1973.[3] After graduating, she moved to Tokyo and began working at a printing company. While working there, she studied under actress Natsuko Kawaji.[4] Two years later, she quit and became semi-affiliated with Aoni Production while also working part-time at a snack bar, making her voice acting debut in the fourth episode of the 1977 anime adaptation of Ore wa Teppei, after which she became fully affiliated with Aoni Production.[1]

Majima initially met Tōru Furuya when she appeared as Michal Latkie in Mobile Suit Gundam.[5] After starring together in Stop!! Hibari-kun!, they married in March 1985. Following their marriage, in accordance with Furuya's wishes, she retired from voice acting.[6][5] She gave birth to their son in April 1992.[5] She later returned to voice acting, reprising characters she voiced prior to her initial retirement.
