Ayana Taketatsu (竹達 彩奈, Taketatsu Ayana, born June 23, 1989) is a Japanese voice actress and singer from Saitama Prefecture.[1] Like Yōko Hikasa, Taketatsu had also attended Nihon Narration Engi Kenkyujo, a voice actor training school before becoming affiliated with then management company. Taketatsu is now affiliated with Link Plan.[2] Because of Taketatsu's sharp vocal tones, she often voices tsundere characters (although she has also voiced other mysterious or flirtatious characters). In 2013, Taketatsu formed a singing unit, Petit Milady, alongside voice actress Aoi Yūki.[3]

Personal life[]

In January 3, 2017, Taketatsu announced on her blog that she left the talent agency Assemble Heart for the agency Link Plan on January 1.[4] On June 23, 2019, Taketatsu announced on Twitter that she had married voice actor Yuki Kaji on her 30th birthday.[5][6]
