Career
Shindō signed a contract with HiBiKi agency at the age of 14. In 2019, she made her voice acting debut in the Bermuda Triangle: Colorful Pastrale anime series where she voiced Caro.[1] She also portrayed Shūko Mino in the Rebirth short anime series, part of Bushiroad's Rebirth for you card game.[2]
In March 2020, Bushiroad announced the formation of Morfonica, a live-action band for its BanG Dream! franchise, with Shindō handling vocals and portraying in-universe character Mashiro Kurata.[3] She was already familiar with the series prior to Morfonica, having regularly played the mobile game BanG Dream! Girls Band Party!.[4] At 15 years of age, she was the youngest voice actress in the franchise and the same age as Mashiro at her introduction; series creator Takaaki Kidani felt the shared age emphasizes the connection between Shindō and her character, including their real-life and in-universe growths, respectively.[5]
In an interview with Famitsu magazine, Shindō noted that she has a low voice in contrast to Mashiro's intended pitch, so she tries to perform Morfonica songs in a higher tone.[4] In the wake of backlash and cyberbullying from parts of the fan base for her singing voice and the addition of Morfonica to Girls Band Party! before fellow band Raise A Suilen,[6] Bushiroad and her agency have stated their intention to take legal action.[7]
She is also involved in Bushiroad's D4DJ franchise as a member of the DJ unit Lyrical Lily, for which she voices the character Haruna Kasuga.[8]
Personal life
Shindō was born in Aichi Prefecture on April 20, 2004.
