Aya Hirano began in entertainment as a child actor performing in TV commercials. She played her first role in 2001 in the anime series Angel Tales. In 2006, she released her first single “Breakthrough.” Her first album Riot Girl followed in 2008. In voice acting, Aya Hirano is best known for the roles of Misa Amane in Death Note, Konata Izumi in Lucky Star, Lucy Heartfilia in Fairy Tail and Haruhi Suzumiya in the Haruhi Suzumiya franchise.
In 2011, she temporarily ceased accepting new roles to recover from a pituitary gland tumor that had been affecting her health. She resumed voice acting activities later that year. In 2016, after appearing at a stage play in Tokyo, she went to New York to study abroad for four months.
