Biography and career

Anzai spent part of her childhood in Taiwan. She grew up watching anime series like Cardcaptor Sakura and Super Doll Licca-chan, as well as being exposed to the Zoids franchise through her brother.[3] She took an interest in voice acting while in elementary school when, as part of a class presentation, she had a part in a historical play. So she could familiarize herself with the voice acting profession, her brother loaned her a DVD of the series Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha A's, and she was influenced by the acting and singing of voice actress Nana Mizuki.[3] Watching the series motivated Anzai to pursue a voice acting career.[3] To hone skills, she also listened to roles voiced by Sanae Kobayashi, Aoi Yūki, and Kana Hanazawa.[3]

Anzai debuted in 2017 after graduating from Pony Canyon's P's Voice Artist School.[4] She started out playing minor roles in the anime series Clean Freak! Aoyama kun, Angel's 3Piece!, and Love and Lies.[2] The following year, she was cast in her first major role, as Momo Minamoto, the protagonist of the anime series Release the Spyce.[5] She, along with the series's other major characters, also performed the show's opening ("Supatto! Spy & Spice" (スパッと！スパイ&スパイス, Supatto! Supai ando Supaisu)) and ending ("Hide & Seek") theme songs under the group-name Tsukikage.[6] While promoting Release the Spyce, she appeared at C3 AFA Jakarta 2018,[7] the last to be held in Indonesia.[8] In October 2018, as part of promotions for the Onsen Musume multimedia franchise, she was named a Japanese ambassador for the hot springs of Hsinchu County, Taiwan.[1][9] That same year, she was cast as Tiara in the mixed-media project Lapis Re:Lights.[5]

gollark: Probably. But I don't think you can tell which is which unless you hardcode the positions or something.
gollark: Anyway, I haven't implemented *targeted* GPS spoofing yet, because it's not very useful and I don't control an entire dimension of GPS servers, but it might be interesting to experiment with.
