Wakana Miyakawa
Description
Wakana Miyakawa is a Japanese voice actress born on December 11, 1990, in Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan. Her career is notably defined by her extensive and long-standing involvement with the multimedia franchise Kantai Collection, also known as KanColle.
Miyakawa has voiced multiple characters within the KanColle series, demonstrating her range across various shipgirls. Her roles include the Asashio-class destroyers Asashio, Ooshio, Michishio, Arashio, Arare, and Kasumi, as well as the Chitose-class aircraft carriers Chitose and Chiyoda. This body of work continued in the anime adaptation, where she reprised the role of Kasumi and Michishio in Kan Colle Season 2: Let's Meet at Sea.
In interviews, Miyakawa has discussed her approach to these roles, noting that she researched the historical backgrounds of the ships to inform her performances, particularly for characters like Michishio whose personality is tied to specific events. She has expressed a sense of growth in watching the characters evolve, comparing the experience of recording new lines for their upgraded "Kai Ni" forms to a mother watching her children mature. Her long-term commitment to the franchise is evident, as she was already reflecting on five years of involvement with KanColle in a 2017 interview.
