KAKUMA Ai, the Japanese Rosaria voice actress, started lending her voice to characters in 2011. Her first acting credits were also for a video game: as the Operator in Blazblue: Continuum Shift.

Her acting chops for gaming also extend to fighting games as Yuri Sakazaki in the King Of Fighters series. In mobile games, she has lent her voice in Arknights, Azur Lane, Another Eden, Dragalia Lost, and most recently, Genshin Impact.
In anime, KAKUMA Ai lent her voice to many side characters as part of Mausu Promotion. She voiced the Sloth Demon Belphegor in The Seven Deadly Sins and Makomo in Demon Hunter. She was also Machi Kuragi in Fruits Basket, and Albis in That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime.
