Biography

[edit]

After passing "avex Idol Audition 2010" on 12 June 2010, Maeshima became a member of the Japanese idol group, Super Girls. As a member, she was given the nickname "Amita" (あみた) and assigned rose pink as her image color. In 2011, she started taking on solo activities in parallel with the group's activities, releasing exclusive modeling and solo photo collections for Pichi Lemon, performing in TV dramas, lending her voice as an anime voice actor, and filming commercials.[1] On 25 June 2016, Maeshima succeeded group member Rika Shimura as the third group leader of Super Girls.[2]

On 31 March 2017, Maeshima graduated from Super Girls in order to focus on her voice acting career.[3] She debuted as the voice of BanG Dream! character Aya Maruyama the next month.[4]

On 30 November 2022, Maeshima went on hiatus from all entertainment activities due to health issues.[5] As a result, she terminated her contract with Avex Inc. and she stepped down from her roles as Aya Maruyama in BanG Dream! and Ibuki Niijima in D4DJ.[6][7][8]

On 1 September 2023, Maeshima announced her comeback and joined a new seiyuu firm, VOICE KIT.[9][10] On the same day, BanG Dream! also announced that she would continue to play her role as Aya Maruyama.[11]
