History Creator / KanaHanazawa

* WomanOfAThousandVoices: Previously {{pigeonholed|VoiceActor}} into {{Moe}} and ShrinkingViolet archetypes like her BigSisterMentor Creator/MamikoNoto, leading to some criticism on her limited voice range. However, she is quite capable for PlayingAgainstType such as {{Yandere}} Shiro from ''Manga/DeadmanWonderland'', [[LittleMissSnarker snarky]] [[SugarAndIcePersonality sweet-and-cold]] Kuroneko from ''Literature/{{Oreimo}}'', freaky otaku Tsukimi from ''Manga/PrincessJellyfish'', GenkiGirl Kureha from ''Literature/MayoChiki'', HandicappedBadass AcePilot ActionGirl Ayase Shinomiya in ''Anime/GuiltyCrown'', ShamelessFanserviceGirl Zessica Wong from ''Anime/AquarionEvol'', the LargeHam and at times a GutturalGrowler Ichiko Sakura from ''Manga/GoodLuckGirl'', the [[VideoGame/HyperdimensionNeptuniaV very]] [[BlatantLies heroic]] [[CreepyMonotone CPU]] [[{{Dominatrix}} Iris]] [[BitchInSheepsClothing He]][[HeroicComedicSociopath art]], and CuteAndPsycho UncannyValleyGirl Lisa from ''VideoGame/PhantasyStarOnline2''.

* Quinny Yo in ''Anime/JuushinkiPandora''

She's [[FanNickname known]] infamously by some fans (especially within the Sinosphere) as "Northern Hyogo", which originates from a scene from a morning TV interview that showed her donning a [[MemeticMutation memetic smile]] while the cycling weather forcast on the top of the screen JUST HAPPENED to be displaying the weather for Northern Hyogo prefecture, [[http://xummer26.com/images/blog-images/2013-5-16/BingkubeiPNG.png see for yourself]].

* Noah in ''VideoGame/KOFAllStars''

** Also, as someone who has gone on record admitting that she's finds girls' feet attractive (at least aesthetically), she [[DoesNotLikeShoes tends to be very excited whenever she gets a chance to be barefoot herself. And when she does wear shoes, she often prefers to wear them without socks.]] Many of her characters mirror her in this latter regard, in that they never wear socks (or stockings) inside their shoes. Mayuri and Hana, mentioned above, are examples of this, as is [[Anime/TheGardenOfWords Yukari]], the object of all the FootFocus in a movie teeming with it.

A deliberate example is Akane Tsunemori, who was explicitly designed to resemble her look (at the time in 2012, it was a bit more of a bowl cut).

* Saria in ''LightNovel/TheFruitOfEvolution''

In subsequent years, she also tries to escape from the standard role, portraying the merry, loving to play a trick on the main character {{Ojou}} in ''LightNovel/TheIrregularAtMagicHighSchool'' and ''Manga/GabrielDropOut'', {{tsundere}} in ''LightNovel/{{Oreimo}}'' or even SugarAndIcePersonality in ''Anime/AngelBeats'' and ''Literature/SagradaReset''. Such a variety of memorable characters, allows her already in 2017 to be the obvious winner in the survey of the top 20 most popular seiyu in the year.

Kana Hanazawa, born on February 25, 1989 in Tokyo, is a popular seiyuu and singer. She debuted as a voice actress in 2003 but it wasn't until 2006 that she started doing voice work with any regularity and has gone on to have several major roles since then. Many of these cause her to be cast with Creator/HarukaTomatsu. The characters she tends to play are often very timid, soft spoken girls, TheStoic and/or snarky as well as being a source of [[MemeticMutation perverted seiyuu jokes]], namely that topless 4koma moment as well as [[Manga/KannagiCrazyShrineMaidens 1 time 100 yen]] memes.

Her breakout role was probably Nadeko Sengoku and the Moe ImageSong "Renai Circulation" from ''Bakemonogatari''. Her popularity steadily rose in 2010 and is on her way to become one of the more prominent seiyuu. She was cast in 5 shows in the fall season of 2010, tied to three other seiyuu in second place in the numbers of roles.
