Emi Nitta

Nitta Emi was born on December 10, 1986 in Nagano City, Nagano Prefecture, Japan. Her blood type is B and her zodiac sign is Sagittarius. Her common voice actress nickname is "Emitsun", which was a nickname given to her by her friend. She voices Kousaka Honoka in Love Live!.

Her call-and-response during concerts is a simultaneous "Faito dayo!" with the audience.

Background
Nitta Emi graduated from Nagano Prefecture Shinonoi High School, where she was engaged in band activities with her friends. She was then admitted into a College of Music outside of Nagano Prefecture.

In March 2009, she began her voice actress career after passing a voice acting audition held by S Agency.

On September 10, 2014, she started her major debut as a singer with the release of her first single, "Egao to egao de hajimaru yo!" (笑顔と笑顔で始まるよ!).

In January, 2015, she joined the Tantei Opera Milky Holmes media franchise as a new main member, placing her alongside other Love Live! voice actresses Mimori Suzuko, Tokui Sora and Nanjou Yoshino.

On February 18, 2015, her next two singles "Tankyuu Dreaming" (探求Dreaming) and "NEXT PHASE" were released simultaneously.

Despite being diagnosed with vocal cord polyps (a condition that causes a pain in her throat whenever she sings) during December 2014, she continued making appearances and performed during 5th live, as well as the television show R no Housoku on February 16, 2015 where her vocal strain seemed evident during some of the performances. Her agency has cancelled all her further appearances until the end of March, 2015 for her to recover. She expressed her regrets and asked her fans not to worry on Twitter, stating that she'll be back after going to get her "power-up".

After taking a 2 week break from both her work and Twitter for the operation and recovery between March 21 to April 3, 2015, she has since made a full recovery.

Personality & Hobbies
According to her official profile on her music website, Nitta Emi's hobbies are visiting different cafes, karaoke, and researching about dinosaurs. She currently holds a level 3 certification for the Japan Dinosaur Test (全日本恐竜検定).

When stressed by work, she does laundry to relieve stress.
