Description
Yaeko Kiyose is a Japanese actress born on January 13, 1990, in Nagano Prefecture. She is affiliated with the talent agency CREATIVE GUARDIAN. While her career is primarily rooted in live-action film and television, she has also contributed voice performances to animated projects.

Kiyose began her career appearing in student films around 2010 and quickly became a prominent figure in independent cinema, frequently acting in works by director Kōji Shiraishi, particularly in horror films. She gained recognition for her work at the MOOSIC LAB film festival, winning the Best Actress award for three consecutive years for her leading roles in the films Love is Like a Parade (2012), GREAT ROMANCE (2013), and GREAT ROMANCE II (2017). Her filmography includes a wide range of live-action roles in major productions such as Shinichiro Ueda's Special Actors (2019), where she played the character Yaeko Shimizu, and the live-action film Cherry and Virgin (2021), in which she starred as the character Ami.

In the context of anime and voice acting, Kiyose's most notable role is providing the voice for the character Ami Enomoto in the 2021 animated film Cherry and Virgin. This film utilized rotoscoping, an animation technique where live-action footage is traced over, meaning Kiyose performed the role on camera and her voice was used for the animated character. Her experience with voice work also includes earlier projects, such as voicing the character Vicious Mano in the 2013 puppet film NINJA THEORY and providing voices for the NHK E-tele puppet drama Ingredients in 2015.

Her professional profile lists her hobbies as Japanese and Western-style sewing and reading, and her skills include skiing, swimming, and horse riding. She also holds a certification as a severe visit care worker.
