Peace, peace, describe Saori Hayami here, yeah!
Saori Hayami (born May 29, 1991 as Saori Matsuo) is a Japanese voice actress from Tokyo who made her debut in 2007.
She mainly plays the role of the alluring, feminine, good-natured Ojou girls, sometimes also performing the role of cold-tsundere type A such as Yukino Yukinoshita in My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU. At the same time, although Saori is widely known for a number of her main heroines like Miyuki Shiba or Shinoa Hīragi, her supporting characters sometimes criticized by audience for certain monotony.
Her voice is also very easy to confuse with Mamiko Noto because of the almost identical manner of conversation and the very similar feminine and relaxed voice. It does not help that the types of their heroines are usually very similar, although in general, Saori usually does not play adult women, limiting themselves to the threshold of 17-18 years.
She is also very fluent in English, and is noted to have an exceptionally good singing voice, which to the best demonstrated in her debut album Live Love Laugh. For the same reason, she is often involved in the recording of the soundtrack for the projects she partakes in, usually the ones in which she plays the leading role.
Often cast with Yūichi Nakamura, with whom they at least four times portrayed the relationship between the protagonist and girl who one-sided in love with him, ironically, two of which have Brother–Sister Incest as a central romantic line and Kana Hanazawa as Romantic Runner-Up.
No relation to Show Hayami. Her unofficial nickname is 'Hayamin'.

Saori Hayami provides examples of these tropes, I said with a posed look:
- The Ace: Expect her heroine to be an incredible beauty, an excellent pupil, or outstanding sportswoman. Lord, yes, she is literally the ideal girl in The Irregular at Magic High School.
- Acting for Two: In Japanese Dub of BlazBlue: Cross Tag Battle, this is what happens when Ruby Rose, Orie Ballardiae, & Mai Natsume are meeting each other.
- Adam Westing: She was taken for the role of Yumeko from Kakegurui, as she was a very rude Stealth Parody on her standard characters, especially Nice Girl and Yamato Nadeshiko.
- Aloof Dark-Haired Girl: When not voicing the typical Cool Big Sis Nice Girl, she tends to voice more aloof characters, usually with dark hair.
- Cool Big Sis: Most of her side characters, especially in Schoolgirl Series and also easily parodied in Is the Order a Rabbit?. Expect that she will be a relaxed feminine girl with a measured voice and maternal character.
- Nice Girl: Due to being typecast into Ojou and Cool Big Sis roles, many of her characters she voices have very kind souls as their main personality traits.
- Playing Against Type:
- Quite rare, however you can still see her as Emotionless Girl villain in Blame! or a deaf girl in A Silent Voice. And of course, Ax-Crazy Large Ham Ms. Fanservice
Memetic Molester Yumeko Jabami in Kakegurui. - Atalanta eventually becomes a proof that she could do rather deep voice that eventually becomes screaming mad, which surprised many audience. Her other Fate role, Saint Martha plays around this. In one point, she's doing her usual serene role, but in another point in instant, she could end up doing an overly casual (if a bit rough) girl, only to correct herself. An example.
- Quite rare, however you can still see her as Emotionless Girl villain in Blame! or a deaf girl in A Silent Voice. And of course, Ax-Crazy Large Ham Ms. Fanservice
- Shrinking Violet: In contrast to her tsundere roles, her soft main characters are often such as to emphasize their femininity. Miyuki Shiba and Izumiko Suzuhara especially vivid examples.
- Star-Making Role: She first got widely noticed as Musubi and Ikaros.
- Unrequited Love: Particularly if her character's love interest is voiced by Yūichi Nakamura. This can obviously be seen with Ayase Aragaki Oreimo (to Kyousuke) and Miyuki Shiba from The Irregular at Magic High School (to her brother).
- Women Are Wiser: Many of her heroines will be more talented or even smarter than her Love Interest, because of her tradition to play an inaccessible ideal girl in combination with Loser Protagonist. At the same time, it is subverted with Miyuki Shiba, since her brother is gradually revealed as no less perfect person than she, conceding to her only in magical talent, but not in his application.
Sasuga onii-sama! Now where is my coffee?
Psh. This page is ten years too early to describe the greatness of onii-sama! *Ahem* No... I think it's time for the index...
And remember, if someone's being just a little mean, laughing it off makes you the cooler, bigger troper!
Yeah? Well, I'm sorry for being so cute!
