Chisa Yokoyama is a voice talent who’s contributed much to Japanese video games. Most notably to Sega fans, she is Sakura Shinguji, the de facto face of the Sakura Wars series. She not only has voiced Sakura in video games and animation projects, but also performed for stage shows as Sakura Shinguji and even appeared in a Sega commercial (with the Segata Sanshiro of legend) as Sakura Shinguji.

She’s been busy as of late – in 2014 she gave birth to her first child (congrats to her!) But she seems to be more active, with her lines for Project X Zone 2 likely already recorded and a couple of Sakura Wars concerts planned for the end of October in Japan. These concerts exclusively feature music from the Sakura Wars franchise. There is one concert on the 30th (featuring Michie Tomizawa, a.k.a. Sumire Kanzaki, a.k.a. The Greatest) and two concerts on the 31st; the first of which features Urara Takano (Maria Tachibana, who is also cool) and the second featuring Yuriko Fuchizaki (Li Kohran.) The poster image below is being used to promote the concerts.
