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.

She began her voice actress career in 2009 after passing a voice acting audition held by S Agency in March 2009. 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!) on September 10, 2014. Her next two singles "Tankyuu Dreaming" (探求Dreaming) and "NEXT PHASE" were released simultaneously on February 18, 2015.

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".

Personality & Hobbies

Trivia

 * Despite being known for her arm strength, Nitta Emi is forbidden by her agency to be video-recorded in any form of arm-wrestling matches, having been told that she looks "too imposing" while being engaged in such matches.
 * She appears to be close friends with Uchida Aya and Kusuda Aina; probably because they are all voice actresses who had their first major debut in the voice acting industry with Love Live!.
