About Kohinata Mika
Kohinata Mika was born on March 14. Her major roles include anime BanG Dream! It’s MyGO!!!!! (as Nagasaki Soyo), games like Brown Dust (as Ulfin), Crash Fever (as Anacott), and stage productions such as Harukaze Gaiden 2021 (as Kuroko To) and Chiru Kimi, Urara to Maiagari, among others.
Photobook Details
This debut photobook, Kohinata Mika 1st Photobook “Manazashi”, was shot in Kyoto and Shiga, featuring Kohinata visiting sacred sites from anime she holds dear. The editing and production are handled by Seiyuu Grand Prix, who have worked on numerous voice actress photobooks.
The regular edition cover showcases a mature dress look with her gazing at the viewer, while the Infosquare limited cover has her in a yukata, also with a direct gaze. Both covers live up to the title “Manazashi” (meaning “gaze” or “look”), with her eyes making a strong impression.
Comments from Kohinata Mika
In anticipation of the release, Kohinata shared her thoughts: “I’m so happy to have my dream of releasing a photobook come true with Seiyuu Grand Prix, who I always rely on! I used to be stiff in front of the camera, but with lots of outfits and wonderful hair and makeup, I was able to confidently try various expressions and poses for the photobook shoot, all thanks to everyone who always supports me.”
“I imagined all of you enjoying it while shooting, so please look forward to seeing both my natural self and new sides!!”
