Born in Nishizawa in 1967, Akiko Yajima had the good luck of debuting in a main role: as the Idol Singer Eriko from Idol Densetsu Eriko. Ever since then, she usually plays three type of roles: cute little boys who might have more depth than you think, Mouthy Kids, and soft-spoken but strongwilled girls. Said girls may or may not find themselves opposite a more cynical character played by fellow seiyuu Naoko Matsui.
