Born March 31, 1980 she has released 5 albums, 2 compliations, 13 singles (with another one on the way), and has participated in over 22 soundtracks. She released her first album:
Grapefruit in 1996, and since then there has been a noticeable time gap between her projects (some even 2 years long) but that's not to say that she's been lazy. She began her career at age 16 as a japanese voice actor, playing the role of Hitomi Kanzaki from Escaflowne. She's a well known voice actor, playing in Animes such as:
Wolf's Rain
Cardcaptor Sakura
Escaflowne
.Hack
FFVII Advent Children (as Areith, she rocked!)
Cowboy Bebop
Tsubasa Chronicles
and more
She's also used her voice talents in games such as the Kingdom Hearts Series (as Areith) and Dead or Alive 4 as Lisa. Including Game and Anime voice overs, Sakamoto-san has also done Japanese dubs and played in plays such as the Japanese production of
Les Misérables (she played Epinone) and dubbing TV show series like James Cameron's
Dark Angel (she played Max!)
