Ayahi Takagaki (高垣 彩陽 Takagaki Ayahi?, born October 25, 1985 in Tokyo) is a Japanese voice actress and singer.[2] She had her first major voice acting roles in 2007, voicing Jasmine in Deltora Quest and Lucia Nahashi in Venus Versus Virus.

Her career as a musician began with her performance of the opening themes of the anime series First Love Limited in April 2009. In the same month, she and three other voice actresses debuted as the musical group Sphere with their single "Future Stream".

Voice acting career

Takagaki has a fairly wide acting range, from little kids to romantic teens to gentle weak girls to elder sister types to proper young ladies to boyish girls to serious young women.[3]

She had her first major role as voice actor in 2007, providing the voice of Jasmine, a main character of the anime series Deltora Quest.[4] She was subsequently featured in Venus Versus Virus and Da Capo II as Lucia Nahashi and Asakura Otome, respectively.,[5][6] as well as Feldt Grace in Mobile Suit Gundam 00.

She went on to voice Noe Isurugi in the 2008 series True Tears and held a leading role in S · A: Special A, proving the voice of Megumi Yamamoto.[7][8] She later took the roles of Nina Antalk, in Chrome Shelled Regios and Ein, in Phantom: Requiem for the Phantom, in 2008.[9][10] Later that year, she was cast as Alesta Blanket in Fight Ippatsu! Jūden-chan!! and as Sumika Murasame, protagonist of Sasameki Koto.[11][12] Takagaki also reprised her role as Feldt Grace in the second half of Mobile Suit Gundam 00.

In addition to voice acting, Takagaki has also appeared on camera. She, Aki Toyosaki, Haruka Tomatsu, and Minako Kotobuki appeared on the Anime Song Plus (アニソンぷらす Anison Purasu?) television show as a narrator in April 6, and as part of Sphere on April 20, 2009, and July 27, 2009, and by herself[1]

Musical career

Takagaki graduated from a music college in Tokyo, with a major in operatic singing.[13] Her first musical performance was the opening theme of the 2009 First Love Limited series, titled "Future Stream" with Aki Toyosaki, Haruka Tomatsu, and Minako Kotobuki.[14] Shortly after, the four formed the musical group Sphere. They are affiliated with Music Ray'n, an artist management and publishing group of Sony Music Entertainment Japan.[15][16] The theme was released as the group's first single on April 22, 2009.[14] In July, the anime series Sora no Manimani debuted with the Sphere performed opening theme "Super Noisy Nova", which was released as a single on July 29, 2009.[17] Sphere released their third single "It Raises the Wind/Brave my heart" on November 25, 2009.[18] The group released their first album Atmosphere on December 23, 2009.[19] After, the group performed "Realove:Realife", the opening theme of Ichiban Ushiro no Daimaō, which aired in April 2010.[20]
