Minori Suzuki (鈴木 みのり Suzuki Minori, born October 1, 1997) is a Japanese voice actress from Aichi Prefecture affiliated with E-Stone Music. She started her career after passing an audition for the role of Freyja Wion in the 2016 anime television series Macross Delta, beating 8,000 other auditionees for the role.
Career
Suzuki aspired to be involved in voice work or singing since her childhood. During her elementary school years, she would stay up until midnight in order to be able to watch anime which aired late at night. Once a year, as a student, she would go to Tokyo in order to study acting. In October 2014, the creators of the Macross franchise announced that auditions were going to be held, with the winner being cast in a role in the upcoming anime television series Macross Delta. Her mother was a fan of Macross Frontier, and knowing Suzuki's dream of becoming involved in entertainment, pushed her to participate in the audition. Having been inspired to participate in the audition due to her idolizing Megumi Nakajima, voice actress of Macross Frontier's Ranka Lee, Suzuki auditioned for the Macross Delta role, and in 2015 was declared the winner, beating more than 8,000 other participants. She was cast as Freyja Wion, the lead female character in the series, and a member of the fictional idol group Walküre.
Walküre's first single, which includes the series' opening theme "Ichido Dake no Koi Nara" (一度だけの恋なら, "If I Love Only Once") and ending theme "Rune ga Pikatto Hikattara" (ルンがピカッと光ったら, "When the Rune Sparkles"), as well as the song "Ikenai Borderline" (いけないボーダーライン, "Forbidden Borderline"), was released on May 11, 2016.
In July 2017, Suzuki and Macross Delta co-star JUNNA were guests at Anime Expo in Los Angeles. Suzuki is scheduled to make her solo debut in 2018 when she performs the opening theme to the anime television series Ramen Daisuki Koizumi-san.
Personal life
Suzuki lists Maaya Sakamoto, Megumi Nakajima, Nagi Yanagi, and Galileo Galilei as among her influences in voice acting and music. Suzuki in particular was fond of Nakajima, once having participated in one of the latter's handshake events.
