Biography

Career

edit

Kaida was born in Tokyo, Japan,[2] and was raised in the Shinjuku ward of the city. Shortly following her graduation from Shinjuku High School, she enrolled in the International University of Art and Music in San Diego, California, and studied abroad for four years, where she majored in musical theater.[8] She returned to Japan to focus on voice acting, making her debut in the OVA Southern Wind as Himiko, followed up by some minor roles in other television animation;[9][10] but her first major role as a voice actor came when she was cast as Kurapika in Hunter × Hunter in 1999,[3] after which her popularity began to grow. However, she went on to perform her arguably most well-known role, that of Shusuke Fuji in The Prince of Tennis,[4] which began airing in 2001; she reprises the role for later adaptations as well as for voice acting events to promote the series[11] and for CDs sung as the character. She is also known for her wide vocal range and feminine natural voice, being skilled at voicing males as well as adult women such as Ouka from .hack//Legend of the Twilight,[12] gag characters such as Son Goku/Patalliro from Patalliro Saiyuki!,[13] and young females such as Machi Kuragi from Fruits Basket.[14]

In addition to voice acting, she is also a prominent radio personality, and is the current announcer for Sadao Watanabe's radio show, Nightly Yours.[15] She is nicknamed Yukki (ゆっきー), which is also her blog nickname, and Nikki (ニッキー), the latter being a corruption of the former.[1] She is also a member of the voice acting unit AZU alongside Junko Takeuchi and Junko Minagawa,[16] and is a member of the unit Takada Hiroyuki alongside Hiroki Takahashi.[17]

Personal life

edit

She is notably multilingual, competent in French and Chinese, as well as being a fluent English speaker; the latter being evident in her Western education, her interest in Queen and the Chronicles of Narnia, and also by having an all-English speaking role as Angela Burton in Genshiken.[18] Her other hobbies include watching rakugo, especially Kosanji Yanagiya, and baseball, while she also has a pet dog named Vivian.[2] She is commonly mistaken for her friend and fellow voice actress Yūko Kaida, due to the fact that their names differ by only two characters and one letter in romanization.
