Biography

As a child, since her parents often moved to work, she lived with her grandmother in the city of Ikata , Ehime Prefecture, until the third grade of secondary school. While still in elementary school, she wanted to become a voice actor. One of the factors that influenced this was the Tiko Seven Seas anime, which made a big impression on it. After graduating from high school, she was going to go to seiyu school, however, at the insistence of her parents, she was still studying for three years in high school. Upon her graduation, when she was 18 years old, Nakahara moved from Fukuoka to Tokyo, where she entered the Nichinare voice school ^[1] . Since no financial assistance was received from her parents, at that time she was working as an office lady in one of the clinics.

For the first time as an actress, she spoke on the radio. At first it was the transfer of “Hirata-kurata seyyu pasokon” on the channel “BSQR489”, which was leading in the ratings for five weeks, and in October 2000 (when she studied at Nichinare), she was approved on the staff of the radio program “VOICE CREW”.

Nakaharas debut in anime took place in 2001. Fame brought her released in the next, 2002, the series " Seminan " ^[2] , where her character was Nana-sama . In the same year began the series Mirumo de Pon! where she played Kaede Minami , and in subsequent years she played the central characters in a number of well-known anime, including “ Onegai Twins ” (2003, Miyafuji Miina ), “ Mai-HiME ” ( Tokiha May ), “ DearS "( Miu )," Days of Midori "( Midori ) (all - 2004)," When cicadas cry "(2006, Ryugu Rena )," CLANNAD "(2007, Furukawa Nagisa ) and others.

In a number of anime series, she played the main roles in a pair with Ai Shimizu ; Among those TV shows can be mentioned the above-mentioned “Onegai Twins” (according to Miyafuji Miin and Onodera Karen ), “DearS” ( Miu and Ren ), “Mai-HiME” ( Tokiha May and Mikoto ) and others. Other frequent partners were Kikuko Inoue and Mamiko Noto . Most often, she played in the same anime with another famous seiyu, Yukari Tamura .

In addition to voicing the characters of anime and computer games, Nakahara, like most other seiyu, also acts as a singer. So, in 2002, she entered the nana × nana unit , consisting of seiyu, who played the main character in the series Seminan. In 2004, she was a unit "PoppinS" with Ai Shimizu. In 2004, she also began solo activities and has already released several albums.
