Line 3:

Kana Hanazawa is a voice actor born in 1989, from Tokyo. She debuted as a voice actress in 2003 but it wasn't until 2006 that she started doing voice work with any regularity and has gone on to have several major roles since then. Many of these make her a [[Relationship Voice Actor]] with [[Haruka Tomatsu]]. Lately she also seemed to have a [[Relationship Voice Actor]] with [[Hiroshi Kamiya]] (''[[Durarara]]'', ''[[Bakemonogatari]]'', ''[[Angel Beats]]'', ''[[Blue Exorcist]]'', ''[[Zegapain]]'', ''[[Kobato.]]'', ''[[Break Blade]]''). Also with [[Yoko Hikasa]] (''[[Seikon no Qwaser]]'', ''[[Seikimatsu Occult Gakuin]]'', ''[[Infinite Stratos]]'', ''[[Moshidora]]'' and ''[[Ro-Kyu-Bu!|Ro Kyu Bu]]'') The characters she tends to play are often very timid, soft spoken girls as well as being a source of [[Memetic Mutation|perverted seiyuu jokes]], namely that topless 4koma moment as well as [[Kannagi|1 time 100 yen]] memes.
