Saran Tajima
Description
Saran Tajima is a Japanese voice actress from Wakayama Prefecture, born on August 25. She is affiliated with the agency mitt management as of 2025, having previously been with Remax. Tajima stands 164 cm tall and has AB blood type.
Her path to becoming a voice actor began in her second year of middle school, inspired by her love of anime and games. A key influence was the 2011 adaptation of Hunter x Hunter, particularly the performance of Mariya Ise as Killua. Although her parents initially opposed her career choice, she pursued her goal by enrolling in the Osaka Amusement Media College after high school.
Tajima's most prominent and career-defining role to date is as Koito Fukumaru in the popular franchise The IDOLM@STER Shiny Colors, a role she was cast in in 2020. She had previously auditioned for a different character in the same series a year prior, but was ultimately chosen for Koito after a re-audition. The character is part of the unit noctchill, and Tajima has performed extensively as the character across the franchise's games, music, and live concert events. This role is often cited as the one for which she is best known.
Beyond this signature role, Tajima has built a career with a wide range of voice work, primarily in video games. Her other notable game credits include roles such as Naya Ran and An Ana in the game Loop Traveler, Regina and Galina in绯色回响, and Virgil in Crash Fever. In 2025, she was cast as Aoba Utsumi in Blue Archive and as Noa Hatsuse in the RPG Varlet, for which she also performed the character's theme song. Earlier in her career, she also took on minor roles in television anime, such as providing crowd noise for Argonavis from BanG Dream! and Ensemble Stars!.
Throughout her career, Tajima has participated in related activities such as radio programs and朗读剧 (recitation dramas), including a 2025 performance in the play 美術室に置き去りにされた天使 再演. While her collaborations are largely project-based, her work in The IDOLM@STER Shiny Colors has led to a close, long-term working relationship with her fellow cast members in the noctchill unit and the broader franchise.
