About Mariya
Mariya Ise (伊瀬 茉莉也) is a Japanese voice actress and narrator from Kanagawa, Japan, affiliated with Across Entertainment. She made her voice acting debut as a teenager, playing an unnamed character in the TV anime adaptation of Aishiteruze Baby while still in high school. She went on to attend Toho College of Drama and Music to further develop her craft, and her dedication to the profession has since produced one of the most varied and respected portfolios in the industry.
Ise is widely recognized for her exceptional range, comfortably transitioning between energetic young boy roles, cool-headed heroines, and psychologically intense characters. Her breakthrough came with the role of Killua Zoldyck in the 2011 adaptation of Hunter × Hunter, a part she has described as deeply meaningful to her career. She is noted for her ability to bring sharp emotional precision to characters who operate beneath a composed exterior — a quality that makes her well suited to portraying Serie, whose centuries of magical authority are laced with quiet menace.
Beyond voice acting, Ise is also highly active in stage performance, which has contributed to a theatrical grounding that enriches her vocal work. She appeared in Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End across 6 episodes as Serie, the all-knowing mage king who oversees the first-class mage examination.
