Introduction:
Ai Kayano is a Japanese voice actress and vocalist currently affiliated with Office Osawa.
Biography:
Kayano wanted to work in a job that would involve "healing people", leading to initially take up a course at a vocational school. She worked in the beauty industry and became interested in acting after having seen Aria. While attending school, Kayano continued working in the industry and paid for her tuition.
Kayano began working at Pro-Fit in 2010, voicing two supporting characters in the original video animation Princess Resurrection. In 2011, she voiced Meiko "Menma" Honma in Anohana and received the Best Rookie Actress award for said role at the 6th Seiyuu Awards. Kayano, Haruka Tomatsu and Saori Hayami performed the series' ending theme "Secret Base – Kimi ga Kureta Mono (10 years after Ver.)", a cover of a song originally sung by the band Zone.
She is often praised for her vocal range, having voiced a variety of characters such as Mayaka Ibara, Mashiro Shiina, Darkness and Akari Kawamoto for example, none of which one would connect to the same voice actress.
Trivia:
- Worked part-time at a coffee shop with Chinatsu Akasaki before becoming a voice actress.
- She got around 100 suggestions for her nickname in the Anohana radio show, from which she herself picked out Kayanon.
Non-anime roles:
- Atago - Azur Lane
- Graf Zeppelin - Azur Lane
- Kaga - Azur Lane
- Renown - Azur Lane
- Y'shtola Rhul - Final Fantasy XIV
- Murasaki Shikibu - Fate/Grand Order (VG)
