Risa Aizawa
Description
Risa Aizawa is a Japanese voice actor and singer, best known for her role as Aiko Mikami in the anime series The Disastrous Life of Saiki K. Born on August 2nd in Osaka Prefecture, she is affiliated with the talent agency DEARSTAGE Inc. and is the leader of the female idol group Dempagumi.inc. Her career is primarily rooted in music, which frequently intersects with her voice acting work.
Aizawa's voice acting credits are closely tied to her involvement with Dempagumi.inc, with the group as a whole often providing voices for anthology series. Her earliest voice roles were in the horror anthology anime Yamishibai: Japanese Ghost Stories, where she and other Dempagumi.inc members appeared from 2013 through 2016. A significant early role came in the long-running franchise Aikatsu!, where she provided the singing voice for the characters Orihime Mitsuishi in the first season and Elza Forte in Aikatsu Stars!.
Her most prominent anime acting role to date is Aiko Mikami in The Disastrous Life of Saiki K. She first voiced the character in the second season of the television anime, which aired in 2018, and reprised the role for the concluding television special later that same year. This role marked a direct involvement as a voice actor in a major mainstream series, separate from group-based casting or musical performance. In 2021, she voiced the character Ayame Shioyazaki in the theatrical anime film Hula Fulla Dance.
A recurring theme in Aizawa's career is the fusion of her musical and voice talents. Her work on The Disastrous Life of Saiki K. is a prime example of this; prior to being cast as Aiko Mikami, she and her group Dempagumi.inc had performed theme songs for the series. Her musical contributions to anime are extensive. Beyond the Aikatsu! franchise, she performed the second ending theme song, Crescent Moon Da Capo, for the television anime The Aquatope on White Sand in 2021. This pattern demonstrates a career where performance and voice acting are often intertwined, with her identity as a singer and idol group leader being central to her public profile and opportunities in the anime industry.
