Nozomi Tojo (Aina Kusuda)

Artist

トウジョウノゾミ(クスダアイナ)

Nozomi Tojo is one of the nine school idols of μ's, the in-show idol group at Otonokizaka High School in the TV anime Love Live! A third-year student and the school's vice student council president, she is characterized by her gentle Kansai dialect, busty figure, and a mystical streak — she carries a deck of tarot cards with her at all times and often offers spiritual advice to her fellow members. Behind that easygoing, maternal demeanor lies a lonely past and a deep longing for friendship, which gives her arc an understated emotional weight among the μ's lineup. She is voiced by Aina Kusuda, a Japanese voice actress who is also part of the real-world voice cast unit μ's that performs the group's songs and concerts off-screen. Kusuda's warm, soothing delivery perfectly embodies Nozomi's soft-spoken wisdom, and her nuanced performance helped make the character a favorite among Love Live! fans worldwide.
