Biography

[edit]

Takao was born in Tokyo on September 10, 2002.[1][3] Her older brother Sōnosuke is a pianist and composer.[4] She learned to play the piano at an early age, and she won an international piano contest held in Milan, Italy, when she was 10 years old.[5]

In 2014, Takao participated in a voice acting audition held by the publishing company Earth Star Entertainment. She was declared one of the audition's two winners, along with Yuki Nakashima.[6] Takao, Nakashima, and other participants in the audition then formed the idol group Earth Star Dream.[6][7] During this period, she played the roles of Yū Hiraoka in Ani Tore! EX, Azalyn Goza the 168th in The Irresponsible Captain Tylor, and Linnea in The Master of Ragnarok & Blesser of Einherjar.[3] She also formed the singing duo Hikanon together with labelmate Hikaru Koide; the duo performed the song "Smile Invitation" which was used as the theme song to The Irresponsible Galaxy Tylor.[8]

After Earth Star Dream went on hiatus at the end of 2017, Takao initially remained with Earth Star Entertainment, but left the company in April 2018 after they ceased their talent management activities.[7][9] She then joined the talent agency Link Plan in September of that year.[2] In 2019, she was cast as Latina in the anime television series If It's for My Daughter, I'd Even Defeat a Demon Lord; she also performed the series' opening theme "I'm With You".[10] In 2020, she was cast as Hina Tsurugi, the protagonist of the anime television series Diary of Our Days at the Breakwater.[11] In 2021, she was cast in several anime television series: Chisa Shiraishi in Idoly Pride,[12] Yui Saikawa in The Detective Is Already Dead,[13] and Rit in Banished from the Hero's Party,[14] among others.

In September 2023, the finale of BanG Dream! It's MyGo!, where she starred as Oblivionis/Sakiko Togawa, announced that she was a keyboardists and leader of the band of the heretofore-anonymous BanG Dream! band Ave Mujica as said character.[15][16] She will reprise her role in the sequel BanG Dream! Ave Mujica.[17]
