Biography Kawase was born in Chiba Prefecture on December 31, 1995. From her elementary school years, she had an interest in manga, which was influenced by her frequent visits to her aunt's house. She first discovered the voice acting profession after learning that a manga that she was reading was receiving an anime adaptation. During her second year in high school, her friends invited her to an event that had a voice actor as a guest speaker. At the time, she was more interested in the work being promoted itself than the guest, but after seeing the guest speak lines, she was impressed to the point of already looking for a voice acting training center after the event finished. Later in 2018, she was cast in the role of Junko Konno in the anime series Zombie Land Saga.

In 2019, she played the role of Yakumo Saotome in the anime series Val × Love. In 2020, she provided the voice of Yuna, the protagonist of the anime series Kuma Kuma Kuma Bear, where she also performs the ending theme .
