No.5：Konoe Kanata
出典 : Amazon.co.jp
This is a school idol from the 2020 fall anime “Love Live! Nijigasaki Gakuen School Idol Doujyoukai”, which was adapted into an anime in the fall of 2020.
She was one of the first five members of the “Nijigasaki Gakuen School Idol Club”, a club at Nijigasaki Gakuen, and temporarily left to focus on her exams, but has since returned.
She is always sleepy and seems to want to live in bed all the time, but she loves her younger sister Haruka, and the idol activities she started for her seem to be worthwhile.
The basic policy of the Love Live series is to use new voice actors so that they can concentrate on Love Live since there are real live performances, but this was not the case with Nijigaku, and Kito, who has already played many popular characters, was chosen.
As a result, she may not be able to attend some events due to conflicts with her other roles.
No.4：Himesaka Noa
出典 : Amazon.co.jp
The main character of the 2018 winter broadcast of Wataten!: An Angel Flew Down to Me! is the main character of the series.
She is a fifth-grade girl who moved in next door to the main character Miyako Hoshino’s house, and is a classmate of Miyako’s younger sister Hinata.
She is a confident girl who believes herself to be the cutest, but at the same time, she is weak and gets depressed when she is treated unkindly.
While she is assertive, she has a weakness for straightforward praise, and seems to have fallen in love with Hinata, who praises her without any bargaining.
His actions and thoughts are quite sensible, and he can also play the role of a comedian.
Ms. Kito is good at creating a voice that is completely different from her natural voice, and she plays Noa with a voice that is very different from her natural voice, but she says that she is not straining herself at all.
No.3：Hinata Kaho
出典 : Amazon.co.jp
She is a main character in Blend S, which aired in the fall of 2017.
She is one of the opening staff of the coffee shop Steele, and is in charge of the tsundere character.
However, she is not a tsundere herself, but rather a friendly and good-natured girl.
She is a big fan of games and plays them whenever she has time, and the reason why she doesn’t have many friends despite her soft personality is because she plays too many games and neglects her real relationships.
On the other hand, she is very popular among customers because of her cuteness and good style.
He and his fellow yuri-loving college student, Kouyou Akizuki, have a mutual interest in each other, but they don’t seem to be making any progress.
Ms. Kito’s role as this Natsuho and Horikita in 2017 has brought her to the attention of anime fans.
No.2：Tiyoda Momo
出典 : Amazon.co.jp
The main character of The Demon Girl Next Door, which will air in summer 2019.
She is a magical girl who protects the city of Tama, the stage of this work, and is originally a sworn enemy of the main character Shamiko, who has awakened as a mazoku, but from the beginning she admires Shamiko’s kindness even after becoming a mazoku, and they gradually come to understand each other deeply.
Although she is a magical girl, her hobby is muscle training, and she is a cerebral character with a rough personality.
On the other hand, she is very caring and takes good care of the clumsy Shamiko.
Ms. Kito’s natural voice is low, and Momo’s low-tension voice is almost his natural voice.
Momo is a character who often gets passionate about Shamiko, and on the other hand, there are many times when she becomes a maiden. She is a type of character that brings out many emotions, so it must be difficult to play her differently, but she does a great job.
No.1：Kamado Nezuko
出典 : Amazon.co.jp
Of all the characters played by Ms. Kito, the most well-known is undoubtedly Priestess from “Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba,” which started its anime adaptation in spring 2019.
She is a girl who has been turned into an ogre and travels with her brother Tanjiro while wearing bamboo shackles.
When Tanjiro is in danger, she shows a strong aggression toward the enemy, but still retains her traditional kindness.
As far as the first season of the anime is concerned, the role is a difficult one as she wears shackles and is unconscious, so most of her voice is a roar, and there seems to have been a lot of trial and error.
It seems that there was a lot of trial and error. Since this is a special role with almost no dialogue, I don’t know if I can say that this character is a substitute for Ms. Kito’s business card, but since the work and the character are overwhelmingly well known and popular, it is treated as a representative work in all media.

Summary
Nezuko has become so famous that people who aren’t that familiar with anime sometimes refer to her as “the nezuko person,” but the truly amazing thing about Kito-san is that she has played so many popular characters despite only having a 5-6 year career.
I get the impression that she has quickly risen to the top of the young voice actors in just the two years between 2019 and 2020.
From now on, she’s going to be one of the leading female voice actors of this generation, and it looks like she’s going to have even more representative works!
