Who voices Nanachi in Made in Abyss? One of Japan’s hardest working actresses

Michelle Topham July 31, 2022

Made in Abyss is one of the most popular anime series in recent years.

Its characters are superb, its plot and world building obsessed over, and its animation and art style revered.

The anime’s characters in particular are adored, with Nanachi, the once-human, now Hollow being who was deformed on the sixth layer during one of Bondrewd’s experiments, one of the characters that is the most-loved.

No wonder as, even in that completely changed state, Nanachi is still utterly adorable.

What makes Nanachi as wonderful as she is, however, is not just her cute character design but also the Japanese voice actress who superbly portrays her throughout the Made in Abyss series and film.

Who voices Nanachi in Made in Abyss, and how many of your favorite anime characters has she voiced in the past?
