The main character of Kaleido Star. Her parents took her to Kaleido Stage when she was young. Although they died shortly thereafter, and Sora went to live with her aunt and uncle, Sora is inspired by this childhood memory to become a member of the Stage. With her aunt and uncle's hesitant approval she travels to the United States to audition, and becomes a cast member of Kaleido Stage.

Most of the cast do not accept Sora at first because of the special circumstances through which she joins, however Sora eventually wins them over with persistence and hard work, along with her magnetic personality.

In the beginning of the series Sora is the only one who can see the magical stage spirit [Fool](https://anilist.co/character/3640/Fool), which means she has been chosen by the stage.

Sora, a young girl from Japan, comes to America in search of her dream. She wants, with all her heart, to be a member of the Kaleido Stage, a world famous circus, with a combination of musicals, acrobatics and magical effects. With the help of her friends, she struggles to make this dream come true.

A Japanese voice actor. She's also a certified junior and senior high school teacher.

Hirohashi was born in Niigata Prefecture, and her family's home was a Buddhist temple. Because of this, she attended Ryukoku University in Kyoto, a Buddhist university. In the middle of her first year, however, her parents told her that she could do what she liked, even if it wasn't related to Buddhism, so she sought out what she wanted to do. During her second year, she remembered a radio show she used to listen to in middle school and became interested in voice acting, so she started going to the Aoni Coaching School Osaka while attending university at the same time. The radio personality she had listened to in junior high school was a voice actor, which inspired her to become a voice actor herself.
