Overview
Born and raised in a real estate family, Miyu's parents were always strict with her like many typical Asian parents. That's why she could study at Hiroshima Jogakuin Junior and Senior High Schools, and then Keio University.
When she said she wanted to pursue a career as a voice actress, Miyu's parents strongly objected. But they still accepted it on the condition that she continue to study at university.
Even though she later succeeded in her acting career, she was still ridiculed by her parents for the sole reason: being over 30 years old, Miyu was still unmarried and continued to live with her parents. This is what prompted Miyu to also want to get married, like many other women.
In July 2015, Miyu announced she would take an indefinite leave of absence due to feeling unwell. After being hospitalized, doctors diagnosed Miyu with a chronic active EBV virus infection. This is an extremely special disease with very few cases worldwide and no sure treatment.
At that time, Miyu's condition showed signs of improvement to the point where she was able to leave the hospital but developed malignant Lymphoma. After a battle with lymphoma, she passed away at a hospital in Tokyo.
In memory of Miyu, a charity event was held on September 11th, 2016, at the Science Museum Hall in Chiyoda Ward, Tokyo, Japan. This event organized by her friends and colleagues had its proceeds go towards CAEBV research and related medical causes.
