Biography
Nishida's interest in entertainment came at an early age, as she wanted to pursue a field that involved performing. She had also become interested in European children's literature such as Grimms' Fairy Tales and the work of Hans Christian Andersen. Due to her interest, she wanted to study in a country that served as the setting for European stories. She initially considered going to Germany, but due to a lack of available slots instead went to Denmark, where she studied for one year while in high school and learned Danish.

After returning to Japan, Nishida began considering pursuing a career in anime production. She had become a fan of anime and manga, but she mainly focused on characters and was not conscious of voice acting. While in her second year of university, a friend recommended that she watch the anime series Clannad. She was brought to tears by the series' plot and character expressions, which made her decide to pursue voice acting instead. Prior to debuting as a voice actress, she also performed as an idol in Akihabara under the name Nozomi Kayata.

Nishida debuted as a voice actress in 2014, playing the role of a female student in the anime series Invaders of the Rokujouma!?. The following year, she played her first named role, as Sarah in the anime series Absolute Duo. In 2016, she was cast as the character Makina Nakajima, a member of the music group Walküre in the anime series Macross Delta, and also became a part of the music group in real life. In 2017, she was cast as Satori Tamaba in Armed Girl's Machiavellism, and as Tsubasa Arihara, the protagonist of the mixed-media project Hachigatsu no Cinderella Nine. In 2018, she left her agency Atomic Monkey and, after a few months of freelancing, joined Mausu Promotion. In 2020, she reprised the role of Tsubasa for the anime adaptation of Hachigatsu no Cinderella Nine. She made her solo music debut with the release of the mini-album Onna no Ko wa Dejlig (女の子はDejlig) on July 24, 2020. On August 2, 2020, she left Mausu Promotion.
