Yurika Kubo (久保由利香) is a Japanese voice actress and singer from Nara, Japan, best known for anime character songs and for performing under the stage name Shikaco. Born in 1989, she is associated with Pony Canyon and with the bright, melodic side of Japanese pop and anison, a style that fits her work at the intersection of voice acting and music.
Kubo is especially recognized for voicing Hanayo Koizumi in Love Live!, a role that connected her to one of the most visible anime music franchises of the 2010s. That project remains the key reference point for many listeners who search for Yurika Kubo, because it brings together her seiyuu work, her pop-oriented singing, and her character-song catalog.
Her career has stayed closely tied to anime and idol-song releases, where expressive vocals and character-driven performances matter. In 2025, she announced her marriage to a non-celebrity, and in 2026 she shared the music video "Poppin Bambi," reinforcing her ongoing presence as both a voice actress and singer.
