Kira Yamaguchi
Description
Kira Yamaguchi is a Japanese performer whose work as a voice actor is closely tied to her career as a dancer, actress, and member of the performance group Girls². She was born in Nagasaki Prefecture, Japan, on January 20, 2004. Her early career began with dance training at EXPG Fukuoka, a studio affiliated with the entertainment agency LDH.
Yamaguchi's professional career started after she won the LDH "The Girl Audition" in 2018. This success led to her first major role as Saki Asumi in the 2019 tokusatsu television drama Secret x Heroine Phantomirage, part of the Girls x Heroine series. As a cast member, she also became part of the drama's in-show idol unit, Mirage2.
Later in 2019, she was announced as a member of the newly formed performance group Girls², a unit that combined members from different Girls x Heroine series. This group is directly linked to her most prominent voice acting credit. In 2020, the original anime television series Girl Gaku. ~St. Girls Square Academy~ premiered.

In this anime, Yamaguchi voices the character Kira, a fictionalized version of herself who is a member of the in-show unit South2 and serves on the student council. The character shares her name and appearance, a common theme for the series where all nine members of Girls² provide the voices for their anime counterparts.
