Suzuko Mimori

Suzuko Mimori (三森すずこ, Mimori Suzuko; born June 28, 1986) is a Japanese actress and singer. She is represented by HiBiKi Cast. She voiced Umi Sonoda in Love Live!, Hikari Kagura in Revue Starlight, Anju Shiratori/Hakuccho in Kiratto Pri☆Chan and Asumi Fuurin/Cure Earth in Healin' Good Pretty Cure.

Mimori worked on stage musicals under her real name Suzuko Kurokawa (黒川鈴子, Kurokawa Suzuko). She met the president of Bushiroad, Takaaki Kidani, during one of her stage musicals which led to her being offered a chance to become a voice actress and auditioning for her first role in 2008. Prior to that, Mimori attended Komazawa University, but dropped out to concentrate on her career.

From July to October 2009, she was a member of the singing group Cutie Pai as Suzy (which is the diminutive form of her given name). She appeared on a variety of television series and in musical activities as one of the four lead members of the Milky Holmes voice acting unit, which is named after the series. From 2011 to 2016, Mimori was a member of Lily white, a sub-unit in the Love Live! multimedia project, alongside Aina Kusuda and Riho Iida.

During her childhood, Mimori aspired to become a musical actress and dancer. After attending a children’s musical with her parents, she developed an interest in singing and dancing. She began studying ballet at the age of seven and initially aimed to become a ballerina. Ballet was a familiar part of her life, as she watched recitals with friends who practiced ballet and often heard her father's collection of ballet music at home. She attended an all-girls integrated junior and senior high school.

Influenced by her younger sister, she saw Les Misérables at the Imperial Theatre during junior high school, which led to her interest in musicals. She joined her school’s musical club midway through junior high school and continued participating during high school. She was later inspired by the Takarazuka Revue production The Rose of Versailles 2001 – Oscar and André, which motivated her to pursue admission to the Takarazuka Music School. She advanced to the final round of the entrance examination but was not accepted. Although her sister was a fan of voice actress Mayumi Iizuka and subscribed to Seiyū Grand Prix, Mimori herself showed little interest in voice acting at the time. She was skilled in both English and music and considered pursuing a career related to English if her aspirations in performing arts did not succeed.

She studied jazz dance, tap dance, and vocal performance at the Mariart Studio and also received vocal training.

At age 17, she joined Mariart and made her first stage appearance in June 2006 as part of the ensemble cast in Me and My Girl at the Imperial Theatre, the venue where she first encountered musicals. She continued to perform mainly in musicals and stage productions under the stage name "Suzuko Kurokawa". During this time, she felt a sense of urgency about potentially remaining only an ensemble or background dancer.

She had her first leading role in the stage production Kimi ni Sasageru Uta – A Song For You.
