Maria Naganawa is a voice actress born in the Aichi Prefecture on August 5, 1995. A relatively new face in the industry, she is affiliated with I'm Enterprise. Starting her career sometime in late 2014 voicing relatively small roles, she became a household name practically overnight with her portrayal of Kanna Kamui in Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid.
Due to her naturally high-pitched voice, she is often typecast as the Token Mini-Moe, not dissimilar to the likes of Tomoko Kaneda, Satomi Koorogi, and Kimiko Koyama before her.

Tropes associated with Maria Naganawa:
- Vocal Dissonance: Unlike some of her seniors mentioned above, she is actually quite tall (154cm) compared to the national average, and yet her voice is soft and squeaky like that of a young child. Of the female cast of Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid and Wasteful Days of High School Girls, she's actually among the taller ones.
