Biography[]

Nishida's interest in entertainment came at an early age, as she wanted to pursue a field that involved performing.[3] She had also become interested in European children's literature such as Grimms' Fairy Tales and the work of Hans Christian Andersen.[3] Due to her interest, she wanted to study in a country that served as the setting for European stories.[3] She initially considered going to Germany, but due to a lack of available slots instead went to Denmark, where she studied for one year while in high school and learned Danish.[3][4]

After returning to Japan, Nishida began considering pursuing a career in anime production. She had become a fan of anime and manga, but she mainly focused on characters and was not conscious of voice acting.[4] While in her second year of university, a friend recommended that she watch the anime series Clannad. She was brought to tears by the series' plot and character expressions, which made her decide to pursue voice acting instead.[4] Prior to debuting as a voice actress, she also performed as an idol in Akihabara under the name Nozomi Kayata.[5]

Nishida debuted as a voice actress in 2014, playing the role of a female student in the anime series Invaders of the Rokujouma!?. The following year, she played her first named role, as Sarah in the anime series Absolute Duo.[6] In 2016, she was cast as the character Makina Nakajima, a member of the music group Walküre in the anime series Macross Delta, and also became a part of the music group in real life.[7][8] In 2017, she was cast as Satori Tamaba in Armed Girl's Machiavellism,[9] and as Tsubasa Arihara, the protagonist of the mixed-media project Hachigatsu no Cinderella Nine.[10] In 2018, she left her agency Atomic Monkey and, after a few months of freelancing, joined Mausu Promotion.[2] In 2019, she reprised the role of Tsubasa for the anime adaptation of Hachigatsu no Cinderella Nine.[11] She made her solo music debut with the release of the mini-album Onna no Ko wa Dejlig (女の子はDejlig) on July 24, 2019.[12] On August 2, 2021, she left Mausu Promotion.
