Rika Kinugawa

Rika Kinugawa is the seiyū for Yugiri in the anime series, Zombie Land Saga.

In her childhood she was not good at girlish things, so she had fun playing away from home. Instead of playing with dolls, she often played athletic races, she was very active. She was at the tennis club in high school, at first she wanted to play outside the club so she went home but when she joined the club, tennis seemed like a lot of fun. She was not very good at ball games but realized she could be good at baseball, tennis, or any racquet sport.

While in high school, a fellow loaned her a "Prince of Tennis" DVD and realized how amazing it was to convey emotions only by voice, and after graduating from high school, she entered the Tokyo voice acting department at Animator Academy.

Her debut as a seiyū was in 2013, but in 2016, her first casting character arrived in "Hundred" and her first major characters in "Masou Gakuen H x H" and "Orange". Her work as a seiyuu in anime is not very extensive compared to the participation in video games where she has given voice to several characters. Since her debut she has been with the With Line agency but since January 1, 2020 she is affiliated with the First Wind agency Font Generator.

Almost all of her anime appearances are as the voices of supporting and extra characters, Yūgiri being a leading character and the most important of her career, also having the opportunity to show her singing and dancing skills although she had already participated in the ending of "Hundred". Rika is very reserved and little is known about her daily life but she has demonstrated her love for Yūgiri and Zombie Land Saga on several occasions.
