Marika Kōno

is a Japanese voice actress and singer from Tokyo. She was affiliated with the agency Mausu Promotion before becoming affiliated with Aoni Production. Debuting as a voice actress in 2013, her first main role was in the 2015 anime television series Seiyu's Life! as Rin Kohana. She and the other main cast members of Seiyu's Life! are also members of the music group Earphones. She is known for her roles as Yua Nakajima in Hinako Note, Mahiro Oyama in Onimai, Amau Ako in Blue Archive, and Silence Suzuka in Umamusume: Pretty Derby.

Biography Kohno was born in Tokyo on February 22, 1994. She is the second of three sisters; her older sister Rina is a dancer. As a child, she was already fond of reading aloud during elementary school classes. She first became interested in voice acting from watching anime series. After learning that the characters Pikachu from Pokémon and Chopper from One Piece were voiced by the same person, Ikue Ōtani, Kouno began to aspire to pursuing a career in voice acting. She completed her studies in 2014, and became affiliated with the Mausu Promotion agency the same year.

Kohno began her career playing minor roles in anime series such as Aikatsu!, Log Horizon, and Rail Wars!. She then played the roles of Utako Uta and Pakuko in Chikasugi Idol Akae-chan, which was also the first time she performed a song in an anime. She, together with her Seiyu's Life co-stars Rie Takahashi and Yuki Nagaku, formed the music group Earphones.

In 2017, Kohno played the roles of Yua Nakajima in Hinako Note, and Yumina Urnea Belfast in In Another World With My Smartphone.

On February 24, 2020, Kohno made her solo singer debut under Nippon Columbia with the release of her first single, "Yume Mitai, demo Yume janai" (夢みたい、でも夢じゃない).

On November 1, 2022, it was announced on Kohno's Twitter page that she had been diagnosed with adjustment disorder in mid-October 2022. Due to this, her scheduled activities have been limited per advice from her agency, Aoni Production, in order to prioritize her current treatment.
