Description
Miki Makiguchi is a Japanese voice actress from Niigata Prefecture, born on August 3, 1986. She is known for a brief but active career in the early 2010s, during which she demonstrated a versatile vocal range in anime, video games, and drama CDs.
Makiguchi made her professional debut in the anime industry around 2010. She was affiliated with the talent agency 81 Produce, a common starting point for many emerging voice actors in Japan. Her early performances quickly showcased her ability to portray a wide variety of characters, from young boys and girls to more unique, non-human roles.
One of her most recognized and memorable roles was Fastener in the 2010 anime series Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt. Fastener is the pet-like, plushie sidekick of the demon sisters Scanty and Kneesocks, and the rival of the angel sisters' pet, Chuck. Her performance in this role is frequently cited as a highlight of her career.

Her promising career was unexpectedly interrupted in December 2012 due to health issues. At that time, she left her agency, 81 Produce, and announced a hiatus from voice acting to focus on her recovery. Following her departure, other voice actors were cast in roles she had originated. For instance, Yūko Natsuyoshi took over the role of Fastener for the new Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt anime project announced in 2025.
