Biography[edit]

Ikumi Nakagami, a native of Tokyo, was born on 18 June.[1] Before aspiring to be a voice actor, she aspired to be a girls' manga artist.[2] She was educated at Tokyo Announcement Academy,[3] and later at Aksent's training school Shine, where she was part of the seventh graduating class, before eventually joining Aksent.[1]

In 2012, Nakagami was announced as the voice of Yukari Akiyama, a main character in Girls und Panzer.[4] In November 2014, she was the announcer for a television spot for the American war film Fury as her Yukari Akiyama character.[5] She also performed character songs for the franchise, particularly "1PLDK" and "Senshadō Koiuta!".[1] She also appeared as Keiko Totsugawa/Pink Lovely Doom in Futari wa Milky Holmes, Io Mizusawa in White Album 2, Alice Mifune in Operation Abyss: New Tokyo Legacy, and Redonī Shifiasu in Ray Gigant.[6][7][8]

in 2017, Nakagami joined Bushiroad's BanG Dream! franchise as the voice of Maya Yamato, the drummer of the Pastel Palettes in-universe band.[9] She voiced the character in Pastel Palettes' anime spin-off Pastel Life and in the second and third seasons of the franchise's anime television series.[10][11][12] She has also voiced the character in the franchise's game BanG Dream! Girls Band Party!, the chibi short anime spinoff BanG Dream! Girls Band Party! Pico, and in the animated concert film spin-off Film Live.[13][14][15][16]

Nakagami married an office employee in the early-2010s, and she initially planned to have a child, but she prioritized work after being cast as Yukari Akiyama.[17][18] In 2015, she became pregnant with her first child and took a hiatus from work.[18] Her first child, a boy, was born on 19 August 2015.[6] She announced a second son on 4 September 2017.[19] Her third child, a daughter, was announced on 20 July 2022.[20]
