Biography edit

Suzuko Hara, a native of Yokosuka, was born on 27 April 2005.[1] After appearing in the 2010 TV series Yōkame no Semi [ja], she began appearing in dramas, and she was part of the regular cast of Double Tone [ja], Kami no Tsuki [ja], Oniichan, Gacha [ja], and Yutori desu ga Nani ka [ja].[2]

In June 2013, she starred as Myra in Lexus' A Better Tomorrow live-action animated shorts.[3] In September 2014, she began voicing Pero in Ganbare! Lulu Lolo: Tiny Twin Bears.[4] In February 2017, she was cast as Peso in Akindo Sei no Little Peso.[5] In July 2019, she was cast as No-chan in the Kaiju Step Wandabada shorts as part of the Ultraman franchise.[6]

In 2014, she portrayed Naru Kotoishi, one of the main characters of the anime Barakamon.[7] Since Naru speaks the local dialect [ja] of the anime's main setting, the Gotō Islands, Satsuki Yoshino [ja] (the creator of Barakamon) originally intended to use standard Japanese for the anime due to the difficulty of speaking the dialect.[7] However, Hara, who was then nine years old, was so good at speaking the dialect, Yoshino decided to instead have the dialect used in the anime.[7] Real Sound [ja] described her as "the one person that fans of the anime cannot help but remember".[7]

On 22 December 2022, it was announced that she would play the role of Hijiri Mochizuki in The Idolmaster Cinderella Girls: Starlight Stage.[8] The same day, Barakamon subsequently trended on Twitter.[9]
