“I was jumping with joy when I first learned I was going to play Iono! I've been playing the video games ever since Pokémon LeafGreen, and I love the franchise so much I used to dream of turning into a Rayquaza when I was a kid. It makes me so happy to be able to be a part of the Pokémon world!”

Kaede Hondo (born March 6, 1996) is a Japanese voice actress affiliated with I'm Enterprise. She won the Best New Actress Award at the 13th Seiyu Awards.

Biography

Hondo had an interest in anime from a young age, in particular the Naruto series. She became interested in acting and modelling after an incident during her fifth year of elementary, when a woman came close to her saying she has "a face that goes well with makeup". Not knowing immediately what that should mean, she made some research on her own later, and came to believe she was told she has a face suitable for an actress or a model.

She would then start auditioning for various acting and modelling jobs, but she did not initially consider voice acting as an option. As she had a desire to perform in front of people, upon entering high school, she joined her school's theater club. While in high school, Hondo acted in school plays and also participated in activities, such as swimming, basketball, soft tennis and softball. While in her third year of school, one of her instructors was a radio personality, and her experiences with them and the club influenced her to decide to become a voice actor. In pursuit of this career, she enrolled at the Japan Narration Actor Institute. After completing her training, she became affiliated with the voice acting agency I'm Enterprise. She made her voice acting debut in 2015. Later that year, she was cast in her first main role as Kokoro Yotsuba in Kamisama Minarai: Himitsu no Cocotama.
