Marina Inoue
Marina Inoue (井上 麻里奈 , Inoue Marina, born January 20, 1985, in Tokyo) is a female seiyū and singer. She is signed onto Sony Music Japan's Aniplex division. As for her voice acting career, she's employed by Sigma Seven. She is 162 cm tall and has AB-type blood. Notable for being able to play girls with deep, coarse, almost masculine voices very well; in fact, she became a seiyuu so she could play the male roles she did in the drama club at her all-girl high school.
Inoue made her debut as a voice actor and singer after she was chosen out of 2000 people from the "Gonna be a star" auditions (hosted by Sony Music Japan) for the title role in the OVA Le Portrait De Petit Cossette.
She is one of those rare talented seiyū who can draw very well, and provides eyecatches for some of the anime she has a voice role in, including the ending artwork for one episode of Zegapain.
She happened to be a cosplayer and model, too, before and after she entered the voice acting industry.
