I was truly grateful, but also extremely nervous, to be involved in the anime. JoJo is a series loved by many--including my younger brother and sister--so I was very eager to work on it.
Takagaki made her voice acting debut in 2006, playing the character Tsubaki Kamigamo in the anime Ouran High School Host Club. She has a fairly wide acting range, from little kids to romantic teens to gentle weak girls to elder sister types to proper young ladies to boyish girls to serious young women.
She had her first major role as voice actor in 2007, providing the voice of Jasmine, a main character of the anime series Deltora Quest. She was subsequently featured in Venus Versus Virus and Da Capo II as Lucia Nahashi and Asakura Otome, respectively. She also played Feldt Grace in Mobile Suit Gundam 00.
She went on to voice Noe Isurugi in the 2008 series True Tears and held a leading role in S · A: Special A, proving the voice of Megumi Yamamoto. She later took the roles of Nina Antalk in Chrome Shelled Regios, and Ein in Phantom: Requiem for the Phantom in 2009. Later that year, she was cast as Alesta Blanket in Fight Ippatsu! Juden-chan!! and as Sumika Murasame, protagonist of Sasameki Koto. Takagaki also reprised her role as Feldt Grace in the second half of Mobile Suit Gundam 00.
In addition to voice acting, Takagaki is also a singer, having graduated with a major in operatic singing. Her first musical performance was the opening theme of the 2009 anime series First Love Limited, titled "Future Stream". Takagaki currently affiliated with Music Ray'n, an artist management and publishing group of Sony Music Entertainment Japan.
On August 22, 2019, she announced her marriage on her official blog.[1]
Mariah makes an appearance in the game! I was very happy to have the opportunity to step up to the mic again to voice her, following the anime. I especially enjoyed her interactions with DIO, as I felt we got to see a new side of her! I hope players get to experience all the new dialogue with her in the game! On a personal note, my younger siblings both love JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, and had a lot of fun playing All-Star Battle together. So I'm happy to be involved in the game!
