Biography[edit]

Reo Kurachi, a native of Saitama Prefecture, was born on 22 May 1997.[2] She learned to play the Electone and piano during her youth, while her interest in voice acting began in junior high school after watching the anime series Fullmetal Alchemist and K-On!.[1][3] She joined S Inc., a talent management agency run by singer Hiromi Satō, after passing their 3rd Newcomer Audition in 2016.[1]

In 2018, Kurachi became a member of the BanG Dream! band Raise A Suilen, serving as its keyboardist.[4] She voiced the character Reona "PAREO" Nyubara, the keyboardist of Raise A Suilen's fictional counterpart of the same name, in the second and third seasons of the franchise's anime television series.[5][6] Although her first voice acting role was as a character named Hatano on the 2017 Azure Striker Gunvolt: Striker Pack drama CD,[1] BanG Dream! was her first role in a television series.[7] In 2020, she began voicing the character in BanG Dream! Girls Band Party! Pico, the franchise's chibi short anime spinoff,[8] and in Film Live 2nd Stage, the franchise's animated concert film.[9] In 2022, she reprised the role in the BanG Dream film Poppin'Dream!.[10] Alongside RAS member Risa Tsumugi, she is a host on the franchise-focused variety show Radio RIOT.[11]

Kurachi has also appeared in other Bushiroad media. In July 2019, she became part of the D4DJ franchise as Esora Shimizu, one of four members of Peaky P-key.[12] She voiced the character in D4DJ First Mix (2020-2021), D4DJ Petit Mix (2021), and D4DJ All Mix (2023).[13][14][15] She voices Fumi Yumeōji (as part of Rinmeikan Girls School) in Shōjo Kageki Revue Starlight: Re LIVE, the smartphone game of Bushiroad franchise Revue Starlight.[16]

In 2022, she starred in the film adaptation of the Idol Bu Show franchise as Shiho Hoshino (who is part of the group No Princess),[17] and she starred in Yatogame-chan Kansatsu Nikki as Kina Asaka, a student council member.[18]
