Mari Iijima (飯島真理, Iijima Mari) (born 18 May 1963) is a Japanese singer and actress who has released various top 10 albums in Japan. She is also known by her nickname, Marin.
Iijima was born in Tsuchiura, Ibaraki, Japan, and she is fluent in both Japanese and English. She was nominated for the 2000 Los Angeles Music Awards' Best Pop Artist for her first English album "No Limit". Her album "Wonderful People" was a popular U.S. Indie release.
She is best known, though, for her portrayal of Lynn Minmay in the classic Japanese anime The Super Dimension Fortress Macross. Recently, Mari reprised her role as Minmay in ADV Films's U.S. release of "Macross", becoming one of the few Japanese voice actors ever to cross-over and participate in the English dub.
She and her husband, James Studer, were married on 30 September 1989, when she moved to Los Angeles, California. They had two children, but were divorced on 7 February 2001.
