## Biography

Hondo was born in Aichi Prefecture. She became interested in anime while watching Naruto. She became interested in acting and modelling, after an incident during her fifth year of elementary, and when a woman came near and saying she has "a face that goes well with makeup". Hondo made some research on her own job, 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, she joined the theatre club. 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 become a voice actress. 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, playing minor roles in series such as Aoharu × Machinegun. Later that year, she was cast in her first main role as Kokoro Yotsuba, the protagonist of the anime series Kamisama Minarai: Himitsu no Cocotama.
In 2016, Hondo played the roles for Keijo and Girlish Number. She and the other main cast members of Girlish Number also performed the series' opening theme "Bloom" and ending theme "Ima wa Mijikashi Yumemiyo Otome" (今は短し夢見よ乙女). The following year, she played the roles of Hikari Takanashi in Interviews with Monster Girls, Kon Tatsumi in Urara Meirocho, and Minoa Asagaya in Anime-Gataris. In 2018, she played the roles of Kanami Etō in Katana Maidens ~ Toji No Miko, Koyume Koizuka in Comic Girls, Hitomi Mishima in Hinamatsuri, Kohaku Tsukishiro in Iroduku: The World in Colors and Sakura Minamoto in Zombie Land Saga.
At the 13th Seiyu Awards, Hondo was one of the winners for the Best New Actresses award. Other notable roles including Magical Sempai, Val × Love, Bofuri, Wandering Witch: The Journey of Elaina, I've Been Killing Slimes for 300 Years and Maxed Out My Level, Seirei Gensouki: Spirit Chronicles, Mieruko-chan, Takt Op. Destiny, and Deep Insanity: The Lost Child.
