Akari Kito

Akari Kito was born on October 16 in Aichi Prefecture, Japan. Her common voice actress nickname is "Akarin". She voices Kanata Konoe, one of the nine main characters in PERFECT Dream Project.

Her call-and-response during concerts begins with her falling asleep on a shoulder nearest her. One of her fellow seiyuu will then call out "Se~no! Kanata-chan okite!" (lit. Ready? Kanata-chan, wake up!). Akarin will then "wake up" and ask the audience, "Aa! Koko wa doko?" (lit. Huh? Where am I?). The audience will reply with the current location (such as the live venue or city). She will then finish with "Naruhodo~! Kyou mo ii yume miyou ne!" (lit. I see~! Let's have a sweet dream today too!).

Her image color during concerts is light purple.
