Biography
Aoyama was born in Kumamoto Prefecture on May 15, 1996.[1] In middle school, Aoyama was a member of her school's chorus club, where she spent most of her time. She was also a fan of various manga series, especially Samurai Deeper Kyo. As a result, she decided to pursue a career in voice acting.[2] After attending some open auditions only to not be cast, she was eventually cast as Yoshino Nanase in Wake Up, Girls! via an open audition.[3] In 2015, Aoyama, along with the Wake Up, Girls! voice actor unit, won the special award at the 9th Seiyu Awards.[4]
In March 2020, Aoyama went on hiatus due for medical reasons.[5] She returned to work the next month.[6]
On March 9, 2022, she made her solo singer debut with her first single, "Page".[7] Later that year, she was cast as Hitori Gotō in the anime television series Bocchi the Rock! During the course of the anime's release, Aoyama started learning guitar as part of a project called "Road to Guitar Hero", inspired by her character in the series, eventually learning how to play the anime's opening theme, "Seishun Complex".[8][9]
She released her first album La Valigia on March 8, 2023.[10] Later that year, she was cast in the role of Dot, also known as Gurumin, in Pokémon Horizons: The Series.
