About Ikumi
Ikumi Hasegawa (長谷川 育美) is a Japanese voice actress from Tochigi Prefecture, affiliated with the talent agency Raccoon Dog. She first developed an interest in voice acting during her first year of middle school after reading the manga The Prince of Tennis, and later became particularly fond of Gintama. Her determination to pursue the craft led her to enroll in Pro-Fit’s voice acting training school while attending a two-year vocational school, eventually making her debut in 2016 with a minor role in the anime Orange.
Despite facing early struggles in securing roles, Hasegawa’s career shifted significantly when she was cast as Arcueid Brunestud in Tsukihime -A piece of blue glass moon-, a role she has credited as the reason she chose to continue her voice acting career. She became fully affiliated with Pro-Fit in April 2021, and after the agency closed, transferred to Raccoon Dog on April 1, 2022. In a 2017 interview, she cited Miyu Irino and Miyuki Sawashiro as voice actors she admires.
As Übel, Hasegawa leans into the character’s eerily detached and instinct-driven personality — a mage who casts magic through feel rather than logic. Her ability to convey subtle menace alongside moments of genuine curiosity makes her well-suited to portray one of Frieren‘s most unpredictable supporting characters. In March 2024, Hasegawa also received the Singing Award at the 18th Annual Seiyu Awards as a member of Kessoku Band from Bocchi the Rock!, underscoring her versatility as a performer.
