Aya Uchida

If you have watched much anime in the last fifteen years, Aya Uchida has probably been in your ears without you noticing it was the same person twice. Born in Ōta, Gunma Prefecture in 1986, she is best known as Kotori Minami in Love Live! School Idol Project — soft, warm, unmistakable. Then she turns up as Kaban in Kemono Friends, a completely different register, and as Hina Yayoi in Waccha PriMagi!. That range is the part I respect. A lot of voice actors find one timbre that works and live there comfortably for a career; playing Kotori and Kaban convincingly means genuinely rebuilding the instrument. She sings too — her single "Sign" served as an ending theme for The Quintessential Quintuplets. Fans call her Ucchi. Staying near the front of a crowded field this long is not luck.
