Biography

Saeki was born in Kanagawa Prefecture on July 22, 1994.[1][2] She grew up in a family that was fond of playing video games such as a fighting game in the Saint Seiya series.[3] While in elementary school, she became interested in anime after watching the series Neon Genesis Evangelion and developing a fondness for the character Shinji Ikari and his voice actor Megumi Ogata.[3] She also became a fan of Nana Mizuki, and was impressed by how Mizuki was able to find success both as a singer and as a voice actress.[3] Although she initially wanted to pursue a career in voice acting, she decided to start out as a singer instead.[3]

In 2012, Saeki learned of an audition to perform songs for the arcade game series Pop'n Music. Under the name NU-KO, she applied for the audition, and after passing, performed the song "Ren'ai Kansoku" (恋愛観測) for the series.[2] She would continue singing songs for Pop'n Music, including "Katate Dokusho" (カタテ読書), "Shu to Ao no Rampage" (朱と碧のランページ), and "Sing a Song Sigh".[2] She would also release several more dōjin songs under the NU-KO alias.[4][5]

In 2017, Saeki decided to start a voice acting career, and trained at a school run by the talent agency Swallow.[3] After finishing her training, she became affiliated with Swallow in 2018 and made her voice acting debut as a maid in the anime television series Ms. Koizumi Loves Ramen Noodles.[2] She was then cast as King Halo in the multimedia franchise Uma Musume Pretty Derby.[6] Later that year, she was cast as the characters Maiko Kurashiki in the mobile game Hachigatsu no Cinderella Nine and Mitsuki Gero in the mixed-media project Onsen Musume, replacing Yurika Endō who had announced her retirement from voice acting.[3][7] In 2019, she reprised the role of Maiko for the anime television series adaptation of Hachigatsu no Cinderella Nine,[8] and played the role of Kimie "Tanpopo" Kamata in Oresuki.[9] In 2020, she played the role of Vanilla in Nekopara,[10] played the role of Kozue Kasugai in Rebirth,[11] reprised the role of Ashley for the anime television series adaptation of Lapis Re:Lights,[12] and played the role of Yashiro Chikama in Adachi to Shimamura.[13]
