Biography Mai Kanno, a native of Tokyo, was born on 14 August 1998. Originally a shy child, she joined a children's theater troupe at about five years old when her parents wanted her to become more energetic, and she decided to do voice acting after doing a Disney Channel dub. She left Gekidan Nihon Jidō in 2014 due to its age limit, but in high school became part of a "famous drama club that even participated in competitions". While in high school, she voiced the character Ai in I Can't Understand What My Husband Is Saying. She graduated from Mausu Promotion's training school in 2017 and joined the agency in 2019.
In December 2019, it was announced that Kanno would be voicing Sakura Kawasaki in the Idoly Pride franchise. She reprised her role in the anime and video game, and she also performed in several music releases as part of the tie-in unit Hoshimi Production, including the theme song of the same name. Mercedez Clewis said that Kanno's voice acting in the series was of note, saying that "the feelings [the anime] evoked during [her] initial watch this winter still resonate within me [...] in large part, due to the voice actresses, who really bring their a-game".
In 2022, Kanno voiced Surapacchi in My Isekai Life. In December 2023, it was announced she would star as the Redhead in Re:Monster.
