Description
Ruka Yashiro is a Japanese female voice actor born on August 8, 1998, in Tochigi Prefecture. She is affiliated with the talent agency 81 Produce. Her interest in voice acting was sparked by watching the television anime Dragon Ball, which led her to pursue a career in the industry. She is a graduate of the Amusement Media Academy.
Yashiro's path to a major debut was paved through an open audition. She participated in the Idolls Project, a collaboration between 81 Produce and Shin-Ei Animation launched on their YouTube channel What Sei You? to cast the lead roles for the television anime Idolls!. After a final public audition, she was selected to play the character Ruka, a role that would become her debut and a representative performance. Her career as a professional voice actor began in earnest when she officially joined 81 Produce on October 1, 2021.
While Ruka in Idolls! is her most prominent early role, Yashiro has built a portfolio of performances across anime, games, and other media. Her anime roles include parts in series such as The Strongest Sage with the Weakest Crest and The Eminence in Shadow. She voiced the character Joe Biyobi in the web anime Obake Zukan. More recently, she has taken on roles like Shizuoka Ao in RINKAI! Women's Keirin and a small part in Dandadan. Her film credits include a role in the 2023 anime film Aikatsu! 10th Story: Starway to the Future.
In the realm of video games, Yashiro's work is varied. She has voiced characters in major titles such as Kamekia in Monster Strike, multiple characters (Lisette, Fuka, Rufina) in Genshin Impact, and Katsuragi Miria in De:Lithe Last Memories. Her other game credits include roles in the Touhou fan game Touhou Arcadia Record and the historical game Shirohime Quest, where she voiced both Yashima Castle and Kamakura Castle. She has also contributed to the Japanese dub of foreign content, providing voices for characters in the Chinese anime The Scum Villain's Self-Saving System.
Yashiro has had a notable recurring collaboration with the talent agency 81 Produce, which has managed her career since she joined as a junior member in 2021. She is also a member of HARMONICs, the agency's folk song club unit. Another significant collaboration was with her fellow Idolls! main cast members, who were also selected through the same audition process and joined 81 Produce around the same time. For her debut role in Idolls!, she performed as part of the unit IDOLLS! to sing the series opening theme WE ARE THE ONE, its ending theme Yumemite Sametemo, and the insert song Special Story. Her skills include singing and kendo, and she speaks the Tochigi dialect.
