Her favorite quote is 'Existence is about creating the self.' (存在するということは、自分を創造することだ, Sonzaisuru to iu koto wa, jibun o sōzōsuru koto da?). Her favorite novel is Gamou-tei Jiken, by Miyuki Miyabe. Her personal hobbies include learning to play the guitar and reading novels. Her profile has sometimes been mistaken with fellow seiyū Mei Shimizu's, as they have both debuted with roles in Tenshi no Shippo. She attended the same junior high school as fellow seiyū Erika. However, as her appearance and the aforementioned mature voice did not match, opportunities for roles were often given to others instead. She was able to utilize a very mature and adult-sounding voice by the age of 10. Many of her roles demanded someone who could portray 'maturity with a young voice' in roles such as Lumière in Kiddy Grade and later, as Yoko Sasakura in School Rumble (2nd Season) since there were many teacher roles to be filled. She began her seiyū career during her junior high school years. Her popularity was increased significantly thanks to her breakout role as Haruhi Suzumiya in The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya. In 2007, she continues to enjoy great success in her career, landing the role of Konata Izumi in the anime version of Lucky Star and launching three separate single albums back-to-back monthly at year's end. She performed at the 'Animelo Summer Live' concerts between 20, as well as the Suzumiya Haruhi no Gekisō concert on March 18, 2007.Īya Hirano was a guest at Anime Expo 2007, along with other cast members from The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, Minori Chihara and Yuko Goto. In 2008, she won the 'Best Main Character (female)' award at the second Seiyu Awards. At the same awards, she was also nominated for 'Best Supporting Character (female)', and earned two nominations for 'Best Single' (One of which is a solo, Bōken Desho Desho? the other was a group nomination for the single Hare Hare Yukai). Her popularity was confirmed at the first Seiyū Awards, where she won 'Best Newcomer (female)', for her role as Haruhi Suzumiya the same role also won her a nomination as 'Best Main Character (female)'. This success was followed by her voicing two lead characters in anime based on popular manga (Reira in Nana and Misa in Death Note). Her CD single Bōken Desho Desho? containing the opening song of the show sold out in Japan the very day it was released. The show's public success has greatly enhanced her popularity and career in Japan.
