Nana Mizuki (水樹 奈々 Mizuki Nana?), born Nana Kondō (近藤 奈々 Kondō Nana?), born January 21, 1980) is a singer and voice actress (seiyū) in Japan. She was born in Niihama, Ehime, Japan. She is admired by many of her fellow seiyū and fans because she has a great amount of power and strength in her singing voice, which surprises many fans due to her regularly petite nature. She was also the winner of the "Best Musical Performance" award in the first Seiyū Awards. She has been announced to be the voice of Rena Lanford in the PSP remake of Star Ocean: Second Story, many of the characters whom she has voiced were initially very shy/soft-spoken (however, after interactions with other people, they gradually opened up (e.g. Fate, Lili, Nyamo, Hinata, and Wrath), five of her characters have romantic feelings for the main characters (e.g. Oboro from Basilisk, Fate Testarossa from Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha, Hinata Hyūga from Naruto, Colette Brunel from Tales of Symphonia and Tamao Tamamura from Shaman King), some of her characters craved maternal attention (e.g. Fate, Wrath and Maria), and she was also part of the seiyu quartet "Prits", alongside Yumiko Kobayashi, Natsuko Kuwatani and Hisayo Mochizuki (all four voiced characters in the anime Sister Princess).
