Biography


Wakana Maruoka, a native of Tokyo, was born on 13 May 1995. Maruoka initially planned to work as a civil servant, but later decided to become a voice actress instead. She was educated at the Tokyo Seiyu Academy.
In March 2018, she was cast as Rinze Morino, one of five members of Hōkago Climax Girls, one of the few idol units within The Idolmaster Shiny Colors spin-off franchise. Since then, she has performed as a singer on several Idolmaster music releases, including Hōkago Climax Girls' 2018 single Yumesaki After School (which charted at #8 in the Oricon Singles Chart) and the 2022 single Synthe-Side 02 (which charted at #25 in the aforementioned chart). She later recalled in a 2022 interview with Da Vinci Web that while portraying Rinze, she initially "acted quietly while suppressing my emotions, but as [she] grew older, [her] emotions gradually came to the fore".
In December 2021, she was cast as Ireena Litz de Olhyde in The Greatest Demon Lord Is Reborn as a Typical Nobody. In January 2022, she began voicing Urara Yume, a character in the Magia Record event "Gray Revolution". In May 2022, she was cast as Lujei Piche in GrimGrimoire OnceMore, the 2022 remaster of the 2007 game GrimGrimoire. In February 2023, she was cast as Sumire Kasahara in My Clueless First Friend. In 2024 she was cast as Yuki Suou in Alya Sometimes Hides Her Feelings in Russian.
