Who voices Mio Kofune in Summertime Rendering? An actress with just a couple of roles under her belt
Steven Reynolds 
Summertime Rendering has turned out to be one of the most watched and most popular anime series of Spring, 2022.
Not surprising really as the suspenseful and intriguing story is well-written, the art style and animation is beautifully done and the characters are interesting.
Characters like Mio Kofune, the recently deceased Ushio’s younger sister, and the adoptive sister of Shinpei.
We first meet Mio in the first episode of Summertime Rendering, when she comes to meet Shinpei who has just arrived on the island by boat.
Unfortunately, Mio decides to arrive by bicycle. A mode of transport she doesn’t seem to be able to control properly, as she immediately ends up flying off the bike head first and into the harbor.
But Mio is the cutest character in Summertime Rendering, so it’s easy to forgive any of her transgressions.
A cuteness made even sweeter by the voice actor who brilliantly portrays her.
So, who does voice Mio Kofune in Summertime Rendering? And what other anime characters has she played?

Saho Shirasu is the actress voicing Mio Kofune in Summertime Rendering.
Shirasu, aka 白砂 沙帆, was born in Wakayama Prefecture on August 19th, and grew up speaking the Kansai dialect of Japanese. She is 4 feet 11″, so petite in stature.
