Tomori Kusunoki

is a Japanese voice actress and singer who is currently affiliated with the Sony Music Artists agency. She made her voice acting debut in 2017 and in the same year, she was cast in her first main role as Kirara, the heroine of the Japanese mobile game Kirara Fantasia. She has also been cast in main roles in Märchen Mädchen, Love Live! Nijigasaki High School Idol Club, Sword Art Online Alternative: Gun Gale Online, Deca-Dence, The Misfit of Demon King Academy, Chainsaw Man, and Zom 100: Bucket List of the Dead. In 2019, she won the Best New Actress Award with Manaka Iwami, Coco Hayashi, Rina Honnizumi, and Kaede Hondo.

Biography Kusunoki was born in Tokyo on December 22, 1999. She became interested in entertainment at an early age; when she was three years old, she began taking piano lessons. She was also a member of her school's brass band during her junior high school years, and a member of a light music club during her high school years. She was also the student council president of her junior high school.

During her second year of junior high school, she became interested in anime. She particularly liked the series Kobato, and the portrayal of the lead character by Kana Hanazawa. This inspired her to become a voice actress. In June 2017, she was cast in her first main role as Kirara in the mobile game Kirara Fantasia. In 2018, she was cast as Hazuki Kagimura, the protagonist of the anime series Märchen Mädchen. She played the role of Llenn in the anime series Sword Art Online Alternative Gun Gale Online, for which she also sings the ending theme "To see the future". In the same year, she also became a part of Konami's media mix project called BandMeshi♪ (バンめし♪), with her voicing the guitarist Yokaze Tsuyuri. Later that year, she was cast as Setsuna Yūki in the Love Live! multimedia franchise.

In 2020, Kusunoki made her debut as a solo artist under Sacra Music. Her first EP, "Hamidashimono", is the ending theme of The Misfit of Demon King Academy.

In 2021, Kusunoki was diagnosed with a congenital disorder that caused her to have a tendency to feel pain and numbness when performing dance and other strenuous activities that involve large movements. Because of this, Kusunoki had refrained from any activities that involve large movements in both her solo activities and any performances she participated in.

In 2022, it was confirmed that Kusunoki had been diagnosed with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome. Love Live! official website also announced her retirement of voicing Setsuna Yūki and Nana Nakagawa on March 31, 2023, due to the difficulty of taking part in stage performances. Coco Hayashi succeeded Kusunoki as Setsuna.

On January 1, 2026, Kusunoki announced her marriage to someone outside of the entertainment industry, who she "has been dating since [they] were students".
