Ayane Sakura is a Japanese seiyuu-singer and voice actress from Tokyo, born on 29 January 1994 as 佐倉 綾音. Since starting her career in the early 2010s, she has built a reputation through a wide range of anime roles and through work that connects voice acting with anime-related music. Her name is frequently searched as Ayane Sakura or Sakura Ayane, especially by fans looking for an anime voice actress with a strong presence in anison circles.
Alongside acting, Sakura has contributed vocals to numerous anime soundtracks, including openings and endings, which strengthens her profile as a seiyuu-singer rather than a performer limited to one side of the industry. In January 2022, she moved from I'm Enterprise to Aoni Production and continued expanding her career. Her nickname, "Ayaneru," was affectionately given to her by fellow voice actor Nobuhiko Okamoto; it plays on neru (寝る), meaning "to sleep," and reflects both her playful personality and her love of sleep. Her hobbies include listening to radio programs, gymnastics, and painting, and she is noted as having blood type B and a height of 157 cm. In 2026, coverage around her also highlighted the cast announcement for the new Magic Knight Rayearth anime at AnimeJapan, My Hero Academia's 10th anniversary project, the official title reveal for the GochiUsa theatrical release, and commentary on Attack on Titan's Gabi, underscoring her continued presence in major anime-related events and discussions.
