Troupe History

2003–2015, Cosmos Troupe 2015–2019, Star Troupe

Biography Unlike many Takarasiennes, Nanami Hiroki’s life pre-Takarazuka was not marked with an abundance of performing arts experience. Rather, with a brother two years older, from a young age she'd roleplay the heroes in stories and do other boys' things. She was class representative every year of elementary school, an honor student in whom the teachers placed great faith.

In her 6th year of elementary school, she happened to catch Takarazuka Moon Troupe's "Gone with the Wind" on television. She fell immediately in love with the star, Amami Yuuki, and began collecting all the shows she appeared in on video and watching them on repeat.

Nanami Hiroki resigned from the Takarazuka revue on March 24, 2019, after sixteen years as an actress with the company.

Post-Takarazuka career Three months after her retirement from the Takarazuka Revue, Nanami announced her signing with Andstir entertainment and the King Records music label.

She made her post-Takarazuka artist debut with the release of her first mini album, 'Galaxy', and an accompanying one-man live show with a four-concert run in Tokyo and Osaka. At the same time, she announced her post-Takarazuka seiyuu debut as Shizuno in Satelight’s Somali and the Forest Spirit.

On November 8, 2019, she was instated as a cultural ambassador for Ibaraki Prefecture.

Her first theatrical performance post-Takarazuka was the titular role of Red, in Red and Bear, an original musical which ran from January 24, 2020, to February 2, 2020, at the Sunshine Theatre in Ikebukuro, Tokyo, Japan.

In addition to her voiceover, theatrical, and musical work, Nanami has hosted weekly radio shows such as 七つの海への大航海, (‘nanatsu no umi e no dai koukai’, A Voyage to the Seven Seas) on Tokyo FM, and a television program on the Takarazuka Revue’s television channel, Takarazuka Skystage. Her self-produced television program, ときめきタカラヅカSTYLE (‘Tokimeki Takarazuka Style’), originally slated for a limited eight-episode run, extended to twelve episodes and ended in September 2020.

In March 2021, Nanami announced her move to King Amusement Creative, a label shared by several well-known voice actors, including Megumi Hayashibara and Nana Mizuki, and a third musical album (FIVESTAR.)
