Suzuko Hara (原 涼子, Hara Suzuko, born 27 April 2005) is a Japanese actress from Yokosuka. After starring in several television dramas, she later moved towards voice acting, portraying Naru Kotoishi in Barakamon and Hijiri Mochizuki in The Idolmaster Cinderella Girls.
Biography
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]
