[Hina's](https://anilist.co/character/326186/Hina-Kyan) close friend who always helps [Teru](https://anilist.co/character/326185/Teruaki-Nakamura) understand the Okinawan dialect. She likes Teru.

When Teruaki Nakamura transfers to laid-back Okinawa, he falls for the lively Kyan-san—but her dialect is a complete mystery to him. With Higa-san translating, Teru’s misunderstanding-filled island life takes off...and subtle hints suggest Higa-san might want his heart too. On this serene island, love flows as freely as the ocean breeze!<br>

Japanese voice actress affiliated with Raccoon Dog.

Fairouz was born to a Japanese mother and an Egyptian father. She was named after the Lebanese singer, Fairuz. She spent a few years of her elementary education in Cairo before returning to Japan. During her junior high school years, she became familiar with the manga series [JoJo's Bizarre Adventure](https://anilist.co/manga/31517/). Due to her growing interest in the series, she would join Skype reading sessions with other fans. Eventually, she was inspired to pursue a career in voice acting, but her parents initially disapproved of her plans. Instead, she would initially study at a graphic design vocational school before spending a year as a dental assistant. Once she was able to save enough money for tuition, she enrolled in a voice acting training school.

In 2019, she debuted as [Hibiki Sakura](https://anilist.co/character/132856/), the protagonist of the anime series [How Heavy Are the Dumbbells You Lift?](https://anilist.co/anime/107226/)
