Mao Mita is a Japanese voice actress and former idol singer, born on September 9, 1995, in Sakai, Japan. Her career in the entertainment industry began when she joined the idol group NMB48 as a second-generation trainee in 2011. Her initial foray into voice acting came shortly after, when she was selected to be part of the voice cast for the television anime AKB0048.

Mita's most significant early voice role was as Makoto Yokomizo in the 2012 anime series AKB0048, a role she reprised in its 2013 sequel, AKB0048 next stage. This opportunity was unique, as the nine main voice actors, including Mita, were chosen from within the AKB48 Group idol collective. They formed the special unit NO NAME to perform the anime's theme songs, which achieved commercial success on Japanese music charts. This period marked the beginning of her career as a voice actress while she continued her activities with NMB48.

In addition to her work in the AKB0048 franchise, Mita has provided the voice for the character Orphee in the 2023 animated work Jinzō Mahō Shōjo Kaini. She has also appeared in live-action projects, such as the film Tokyo Tribe.

While her voice acting filmography is focused, Mita is recognized for her strong connection to anime and manga culture, a passion that was well-documented during her time as an idol. Her skills also extend to illustration, a talent she has shared publicly. She continued her performing career after graduating from NMB48 in 2019, with stage appearances in subsequent years. Information on recurring collaborations with specific directors or a broader network of voice acting colleagues is not prominent in available sources.
