Biography[edit]

Hikaru Tono, a native of Tokyo, was born on 5 March 1996.[2] As a young child, her father recommended being an announcer after hearing her read out her homework, so she vaguely considered voice-based occupations.[3] As a teenager, she was part of a choir school club and was a competitor at a national chorus tournament.[3] After spending seven years of unsuccessful auditions,[3] she finally joined Hibiki, Bushiroad's talent agency, after passing their 2017 auditions for new voice actors.[2]
