Saori Hayami

Saori Hayami is a Japanese voice actress and singer from Tokyo, known for her work in anime, character songs, and seiyuu projects. She first became interested in voice acting during elementary school, after becoming curious about the original voices behind dubbed films, and later trained at Nihon Narration Engi Kenkyūjo in 2004. Her professional career began in 2006, when she passed an audition for I'm Enterprise near the end of her second year of training. From that point on, Hayami developed a reputation for a clear, expressive voice and a strong presence in anime-related productions, which helped make her one of the more recognizable performers in the seiyuu field. Alongside voice acting, Hayami built a parallel singing career centered on anime and character theme songs. A notable connection to anime music is her work as Kaede Takagaki in The Idolmaster Cinderella Girls franchise, which helped establish her visibility among fans of character song releases and broadened her profile as a seiyuu singer. Hayami has also been recognized within the industry, winning Best Supporting Actress at the 10th Seiyu Awards. She has performed as part of the duet Blue Drops with Hitomi Yoshida, further reflecting her role in the wider anime music and voice acting scene and her ongoing presence across voice acting and song performance.
