Ami Maeshima (前島亜美) is a Japanese singer, voice actress, and former idol best known for her work as a member and leader of SUPER☆GiRLS. She joined the group when it formed in 2010 and stayed with the project until graduating from SUPER☆GiRLS and iDOL Street on March 31, 2017. Born in Saitama, Maeshima first built her profile in the Japanese idol scene, where she became recognized for her stage presence and versatility before moving into new creative fields. After leaving the idol group, Maeshima expanded into voice acting and made her debut through BanG Dream! Girls Band Party as Aya Maruyama. The role brought her into anime and character song culture, strengthening her connection to anison and the wider media-mix world. It also marked an important step in her transition from idol performance to character-based music and voice work. Maeshima later added solo artist activity to her career, releasing her album Determination on November 20, 2024, via KING AMUSEMENT CREATIVE. That debut consolidated her move from group-based idol work into an independent music career, while keeping her linked to the anime and voice-acting spaces that shaped her public profile. As an artist, Ami Maeshima continues to bridge idol, seiyuu, and solo singer activity, making her a notable figure for listeners interested in Japanese pop and anime-related music. Her career path shows a steady evolution from SUPER☆GiRLS leader to voice actress and solo performer, with BanG Dream! Girls Band Party and Determination serving as key markers in that progression.
