Completing this mini-series of ‘Who voices…. in Spy x Family?‘ is the third and final one — Who voices Yor Forger in Spy x Family.

After all, when it comes to this already hit anime series, the three main characters — Loid, Anya and Yor — are the ones most people are interested in, right?

Especially as all three are so beautifully created by the actors who provide their voices.

If you have read my other two articles, you already know about the voice actors playing Loid and Anya:

Loid’s fabulous voice actor Takuya Eguchi and Atsumi Tanezaki the actress who creates the wonderfully quirky Anya so beautifully.

After all, this voice actress is not only just as wonderful at creating that beautiful assassin as are Eguchi and Tanezaki creating their weird and wonderful characters, just like them she also has a huge amount of experience in doing do.

Yes, the producers of Spy x Family must have known what an enormous hit this anime would be, so wanted to put it in the hands of those actors who could bring it most perfectly to life.

The Japanese voice actress who voices Yor Forger is Saori Hayami (aka 早見 沙織, Hayami Saori).

A superb actress and singer who is already well-known by many anime fans for all the past voice work she has contributed to the world of anime.

 

Hayami was born on May 29, 1991 in Tokyo, so will be 31-years-old later this year.

She began training to become a voice actress when still in junior high school, and was still in high school when she was given the main role of Momoka Kawakabe in Touka Gettan in 2007.

Hayami is represented by the Japanese talent agency I’m Enterprise (her profile page at the agency is here), and is also signed to the Warner Music record label.

Yep, by just looking at her past work, it is also obvious Saori Hayami is one of the hardest working actresses in Japan, isn’t it?

So now you know who voices Yor Forger in Spy x Family. A superb performance you can hear just some of in the Spy x Family trailer below.

And what I love about the choice of Saori Hayami for the role of Yor is that producers could have gone with someone who would play her in a sexy more mature and quite dangerous way.

But, instead, they went for someone who speaks with such a sweet and gentle voice, and that works so darned perfectly.
