Ogawa Mana

Artist

Ogawa Mana is a Japanese singer, voice actress, and model from Saitama Prefecture. She began her career in 2007 under the stage name 'Ogamana' as part of Tsunku-produced Hello! Project Egg unit 'Canary Club.' In 2008 she made her major solo debut with 'Suppin Rock,' the opening theme for the TV anime 'Hyakko.' The song was written and composed by Tsunku and arranged by Jun Yamazaki, and the youthful, energetic vocals of the then-15-year-old singer matched the school comedy series' bright tone. She also appeared in the same anime as a voice actress, playing the character Nikaido Hizumi, contributing to the production both as a performer and as a singer. The song represents a pivotal point in her transition from idol pop into multifaceted activity.
