About Mao Ichimichi

Hailing from Osaka, Japan, Mao Ichimichi is a multifaceted talent gracing the entertainment world as an actress, voice artist, and gravure idol. Her initial foray into the public sphere was under the moniker Rio Minami, a member of the idol collective HOP Club. Her career trajectory saw a significant boost in June 2011 with the release of her first solo gravure DVD and accompanying photo collection, aptly named A Distant Shore, which garnered considerable attention. She then achieved widespread recognition through her memorable portrayal of Luka Millfy, known as Gokai Yellow, in the highly acclaimed live-action Tokusatsu series Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger, a standout entry in the Super Sentai lineage. Adopting the stylized name M・A・O, she has since established herself as a remarkably busy voice actress. Her distinctive voice has brought to life prominent characters in numerous anime series and video games, including Shion in That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime, Hikari Yagami in Digimon Adventure tri., Iris in Fire Force, Pecorine in Princess Connect Re:Dive, Airi Sakura in Classroom of the Elite, and Varesa in Genshin Impact.
