Nao Ojika, a native of Nagoya, was born on 9 August.[1][2] During her youth, she enjoyed reading textbooks for class, was interested in acting, and had aspirations of being a musician and narrator; this inspired her to become a voice actor.[2] Although originally interested in evening anime song performers like Porno Graffitti, Scandal, Sid, and Spyair, she shifted towards rock bands with male vocals by high school, including 04 Limited Sazabys, The Oral Cigarettes, and Uverworld.[3] She attended the Japan Narration Acting Institute Nagoya School for three years and passed the annual office affiliation examination.[2] She joined I'm Enterprise on 1 April 2019.[4]
