Biography

[edit]

Nakashima was born in Wakayama Prefecture on September 12, 1997.[3][4] She had been interested in entertainment from an early age, and she wanted to do something involving singing, acting, or dancing.[5] While in junior high school, she joined a jazz music club where she learned how to play the bass guitar.[5] She then became interested in voice acting after watching the anime series Gin Tama,[6] an interest that would later grow after becoming familiar with the anime series Teekyu.[5]

Nakashima began her career as a child model, appearing in the magazine JS Girl.[7] She also appeared in a number of television commercials and dramas while affiliated with the talent agency Amuse.[4] In 2014, at the urging of her mother, she participated in a voice acting audition held by the publishing company Earth Star Entertainment.[5] She and Kanon Takao won the competition, beating 3,000 other contestants.[5][8] Following the competition, she, Takao, and some of other the participants became part of the idol group Earth Star Dream.[9] The following year, she made her voice acting debut in Teekyu.[10]

In 2017, Nakashima was cast as Yūki Otokura in The Idolmaster Cinderella Girls.[11] Later that year, she announced that she would leave Earth Star Dream and begin solo activities.[9] Although she initially announced that she would remain with Earth Star Entertainment, she left the company in April 2018 after they announced that they would cease artist management activities.[12] She then joined the talent agency Beffect.[13] In May 2018, it was announced that she would be replacing Yurika Endō, who had announced her retirement from the entertainment industry, as the voice actor of the character Lisa Imai in the multimedia franchise BanG Dream!. As part of her new role, she joined the band Roselia as its bassist.[14]

On December 23, 2020, Nakashima made her solo artist debut under NBCUniversal Entertainment Japan with the release of her first album, Chapter I.[15]
