NEW LIFEWakabayashi Naomi
Naomi Wakabayashi, who is a certified nutritionist and is active not only as a voice actress but also on stage, is from Tottori Prefecture.
Her anime roles include Sheska in Fullmetal Alchemist and Yuji Date in Hajime no Ippo: New Challenger.
She’s especially well known for playing Ritsuko Akizuki in THE IDOLM@STER, commonly referred to as “Imas.” Because the character wears glasses, Wakabayashi herself started wearing them regularly, and she single‑mindedly raised her Producer Rank in Imas—making her practically one with the role.
Her bright, lively singing voice is pleasant to listen to, and her meticulous live-performance style—faithfully recreating the braids and glasses—has earned her the nickname “Wakabayashi-kami” (Wakabayashi the God).
