Asami Imai is a Japanese voice actress and singer born in Tokyo on May 16, 1977. Originally from Tokuyama, now part of Shunan in Yamaguchi Prefecture, she began her voice-acting career in 1999 and later expanded into music, building a profile that connects seiyuu work with anime and game-related songs.
Imai made her music debut in 2009 with the single "Day by Day / Shining Blue Rain" through 5pb. Records. Her singing work is closely tied to the anison scene, where expressive delivery and character-driven performance are central, and one of her best-known collaborations is ARTERY VEIN, the duo she formed with Eri Kitamura, a project that highlighted her ability to work in a duo setting while maintaining the emotional style that has defined much of her music output.
Across both fields, Asami Imai stands out as a performer whose identity is shaped by her dual activity as a seiyuu and singer. In 2026, she also joined the Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin sequel project as Uketamihime, adding another anime credit to a career that spans voice acting and anime-linked vocal music.
