Amane Shindō

Amane Shindō (進藤 あまね) is a Japanese voice actress currently affiliated with HiBiKi Cast. She has voiced characters in the anime series Bermuda Triangle: Colorful Pastrale, Rebirth, and BanG Dream!, where she is also a member of the band Morfonica, serving as the vocalist and portraying the in-universe character Mashiro Kurata.

Career
Shindō signed a contract with HiBiKi agency at the age of 14. In 2019, she made her voice acting debut in the Bermuda Triangle: Colorful Pastrale anime series where she voiced Caro. She also portrayed Shūko Mino in the Rebirth short anime series, part of Bushiroad's Rebirth for you card game.

In March 2020, Bushiroad announced the formation of Morfonica, a live-action band for its BanG Dream! franchise, with Shindō handling vocals and portraying in-universe character Mashiro Kurata. She was already familiar with the series prior to Morfonica, having regularly played the mobile game BanG Dream! Girls Band Party!. At 15 years of age, she was the youngest voice actress in the franchise and the same age as Mashiro at her introduction; series creator Takaaki Kidani felt the shared age emphasizes the connection between Shindō and her character, including their real-life and in-universe growths, respectively.

In an interview with Famitsu magazine, Shindō noted that she has a low voice in contrast to Mashiro's intended pitch, so she tries to perform Morfonica songs in a higher tone. In the wake of backlash and cyberbullying from parts of the fan base for her singing voice and the addition of Morfonica to Girls Band Party! before fellow band Raise A Suilen, Bushiroad and her agency have stated their intention to take legal action.

She is also involved in Bushiroad's D4DJ franchise as a member of the DJ unit Lyrical Lily, for which she voices the character Haruna Kasuga.

Personal life
Shindō was born in Aichi Prefecture on April 20, 2004.
