She is very good friends with seiyuu Ueda Reina and they do a radio show together called ShigoHaji (aka 「高橋李依・上田麗奈仕事で会えないからラジオはじめました」 or "Takahashi Rie • Ueda Reina: We started a radio show because I can't see you at work."). She also became good friends with seiyuu Tanaka Minami when they did a Fate/Grand Order related radio show called Chaldea Radio Station starting in January 2017 and is still going as of early 2023. The radio show was renamed Chaldea Radio Station PLUS in Spring 2019 when another seiyuu Ōkubo Rumi (known for playing Chinatsu Yoshikawa in Yuru Yuri and Nana in Talentless Nana) was added as an alternate/fill-in host.

She is probably most known for portraying Emilia in Re:Zero (2016+), Asahina Mirai/Cure Miracle in Mahō Girls Precure!

Biography[]

She watched Magical DoReMi (1999+), Higurashi When They Cry (2006+) and Soul Eater while in high school. She noticed that many male characters, especially younger ones, were voiced by female voice actors; as this fact interested her, she decided to pursue a career as a seiyuu. She joined her school's broadcasting club during her last year of high school, and she also won a special citation for voice acting at the 4th High School Animation Fair. During her final year of high school, Takahashi participated in an audition sponsored by the voice acting agency 81 Produce. After graduating from high school, she attended 81 Produce's training school, 81 Actor's Studio. While continuing with her lessons, she was a co-MC on a TV anime info show called Anime DON! (Spring 2013 to Spring 2014) and became part of the temporary seiyuu idol unit Anisoni∀, alongside Ueda Reina, Hayashida Chiyeri, and Tsumita Kayoto. After graduating from the 81 Actor's Studio in 2013, she formally joined 81 Produce. She worked many part time jobs such as at supermarkets and a bra factory.

In 2013, she played background or supporting roles in each series, such as Tanken Driland (2012), Aikatsu! (2012+), and Stella Women's Academy, High School Division Class C³ (2013). She also played the role of a student in a voiced comic stream of the online manga Pokémon Card Game XY: Yarouze! (2014?). Her first significant supporting role was in Captain Earth (2014).
