Kaya Okuno (奥野 香耶, Okuno Kaya, born March 1, 1991) is a Japanese voice actress from Iwate Prefecture. She is affiliated with 81 Produce.[1]

Career

[edit]

When Okuno graduated from high school, she told her parents that she wanted to go to a voice-acting vocational school; however, her parents were against the idea, and she ended up enrolling in a four-year university affiliated to her high school.[2]

She went on to pass the 2nd Anison Vocal Audition of Avex and 81 Produce's Wake Up, Girls! AUDITION held in September 2012. Since 2013, she has been active as a sub-leader of voice-acting unit Wake Up, Girls!.

In January 2014, she made her voice-acting debut as Kaya Kikuma in the anime series Wake Up, Girls!.

In 2015, she won the Special Award at the 9th Seiyu Awards on Wake Up, Girls!.

In 2018, she voiced the character of Unzen Inori, who won second place at the Onsen Musume Yunohana Collection 1st General Elections (in the group-unaffiliated division), and had the opportunity to make her debut as a solo artist.[3]

Personal life

[edit]

Okuno was born in Morioka, Iwate. She has an older brother.

A fan of Sailor Moon since childhood, she would often channel Kotono Mitsuishi; she later watched Neon Genesis Evangelion, becoming enchanted with Mitsuishi's performance as Misato Katsuragi, and developed a fervent desire to meet Mitsuishi in person one day.

Okuno's favourite band is Mr. Children. She is a fan of the Hanshin Tigers and of the now-retired player Norihiro Akahoshi. She enjoys arts and crafts and playing with animals such as cats and dogs. Her special skills include playing the piano and speaking Tōhoku dialect.
