Career Miwa was born in Osaka Prefecture on October 12, 1943. While there, she was cast as the voice of Foo in the puppet show Boo Foo Woo on Okaasan to Issho.

Miwa graduated from Kokugakuin High School and then from the Department of Japanese Literature, Faculty of Letters, Kokugakuin University. Her death was announced by Aoni a month later.

Personality Her voice range was described as "a fairytale-like, dreamy mezzo-soprano". Her vocal range was E-D, and boys' voices (D-B). With her recognizably cute voice, she portrayed approachable, ordinary boys, but also voiced roles like energetic girls, adult women, and elderly women. She also made appearances in many television commercials and did narration.

In the Perman franchise, Miwa famously provided the voice of the titular character Perman #1 (Mitsuo Suwa). She voiced the role from 1967 until her death in 2024. She reprised the role in short films exclusively screened at the Fujiko F. Fujio Museum and the 2005 Doraemon anime. She also performed the Perman anime theme songs "Our Perman" (1967 series) and "Come on, Perman" (1983 series).
