signature roles

Kana Hanazawa is a Japanese voice actress. She is one of the most popular seiyuus during the 2010's, having lent her voice to many heroines of varying archetypes such as kuuderes, shy girls, chuunibyous, imoutos, and childhood friends. Kana is also known for singing Renai Circulation (in her role as Nadeko Sengoku), which gained fame as the most recognizable song from Monogatari because of its catchy tune and online memes.

Kana's main characters are a major force in saimoe tournaments, especially in the International Saimoe League where her characters enjoyed a dominant presence in the early 2010's, particularly Kanade Tachibana and Ruri Gokou. These two won the 2012 and 2013 editions respectively, and have met each other in the playoffs multiple times, including the 2013 final which Ruri won. Outside of the two, Kosaki Onodera and Mayuri Shiina are the next-most successful, having experienced deep runs in several notable tournaments.
