Career

In 2002, Kubo won the 6th Nicora Model Audition Grand Prix.[1] She signed with LesPros Entertainment shortly after that, and worked as a fashion model. While at LesPros, she shared a room with Ami Kikuchi.[2]

In 2008 she moved to Sparks Productions and worked as a gravure model under the name Yurika Narahara.[3]

Kubo moved to JMO Productions in 2010.[4] She started voice acting while working as a gravure model for JMO, and started obtaining voice acting roles in 2012. She left JMO in 2012, and started working with Clare Voice in 2015.

In early 2015 μ's, the idol group that Kubo performed with as "Hanayo Koizumi", won the 9th Annual Seiyū Award.[5] At the end of the year they performed at the 66th NHK Kōhaku Uta Gassen.[6] The group went on hiatus after their final concert on March 31 and April 1, 2016, at the Tokyo Dome.[7][8]

On December 25, 2015, Kubo debuted as a solo artist[9] and released her first single, "Lovely Lovely Strawberry" a few months later on February 17, 2016. She released her first full album on May 10, 2017.[10]

Kubo's contract with Clare Voice ended on December 31, 2017, and she began freelancing.[11] Her fan club "SHiKAKO PARK", stopped taking new members on January 1, 2018, and shut down later that year on May 31.[12]

On October 1, 2019, it was announced that Kubo would be joining Stay Luck as her new agency.[13]
