Yukika Teramoto

Description
Yukika Teramoto, born on February 16, 1993, in Shizuoka Prefecture, is a Japanese former voice actress and entertainer who began her career as a fashion model before transitioning to voice acting and later achieving success as a singer in South Korea. Her voice acting career, while relatively brief, included a number of notable roles in anime and video games during the late 2000s and early 2010s.

Teramoto's entry into the entertainment industry came through modeling. In 2006, she won the Grand Prix at the 10th Nicola model auditions and became an exclusive model for the fashion magazine until her graduation in 2009. Following this, she pursued her ambition to become a voice actor, enrolling in the Nihon Narration Engi Kenkyūjo (Japan Narration Acting Institute) and joining the talent agency I'm Enterprise in April 2009.

Her voice acting debut came in 2009 with a minor role as a student in the anime series K-On!. The following year, she began securing more substantial roles, appearing in series such as Kiss×sis as the young Keita Suminoe, Kiddy Girl-and as a maid robot, and providing additional voices for Oreimo and Motto To Love-Ru. She also voiced the character Chiri Nakazato in the OVA for Seitokai Yakuindomo.

In 2011, Teramoto took on two of her most prominent roles. She voiced Rouge Clafoutis in the fantasy adventure series Dog Days and played the seventeenth daughter, Nijiko Amatsuka, in the original video animation Baby Princess 3D Paradise 0 [Love]. That same year, she was also the voice of Kaname Nonomiya in the video game Gal Gun. Her other video game credits from this period include roles in Dengeki no Pilot: Tenkū no Kizuna, Love Once, and Growlanser Wayfarer of Time.

Her voice acting period was marked by collaborations with I'm Enterprise, the agency that represented many of her contemporary co-stars. Teramoto's time as a voice actor was concentrated within a few years, as she retired from the industry at the end of 2011 to focus on her university studies, officially leaving I'm Enterprise on December 28 of that year.

After a hiatus, Teramoto re-emerged in the entertainment world in 2015, this time shifting her focus to live-action performance and music in South Korea. In 2016, she became a member of the project girl group Real Girls Project through the drama The Idolmaster KR, which launched her successful career as a K-pop and city pop singer under the mononym Yukika. This marked a permanent transition away from voice acting. In late 2023, she announced her retirement from the music industry as well.
