Profile: Chiwa Saitō (斎藤 千和)

Born on March 12, 1981 in Saitama Japan, Chiwa started down the path to her voice acting career after accidentally buying a magazine targeted at voice actors. Since her 1999 debut in the anime ‘Majutsushi Orphan’, she has performed a wealth of notable roles and series, perhaps most widely recognized of which is her performance as Akemi Homura in the hit anime Puella Magi Madoka Magica.

 

Fun Facts

  • Chiwa’s hobbies are watching movies, basketball and karaoke.
  • She is sometimes affectionately called ‘Chiwa’ by her friends and fans, which is fine by her, but she hates her old nickname,” Konnichiwa Chiwa”.
  • When auditioning for “Puella Magi Madoka Magical’, Chiwa was extremely nervous because all the other auditioners were so much younger than her. However, a fun lunch date with friend and fellow VA Aoi Yuki (who played Madoka Kaname in Puella Magi Madoka Magica) helped to calm her nerves and she won the part.
