Announcing the 2026 Anime Arbor Special Guest!
Kayli Mills

Kayli grew up in multiple towns in the LP of Michigan. As a child she was frequently relocated,
but in middle school she found comfort and friendship in creating song covers, writing and voice
acting online. After years of chasing her dream, you can hear her as colorful cast of characters
including Keqing (Genshin Impact), Rapie and Alice (NIKKE), Alice (Sword Art Online), Emilia
(Re:Zero), Clara (Welcome to Demon School: Iruma-kun), Quna – Speaking and singing (PSO2)
and many more!

Beyond being a voice actor, Kayli is also a professional writer, lyricist and singer with a
certification in audio engineering and a Youtube channel with a following for her cover songs.
She has also sung and appeared in a music video for a single released by J-pop singer Yun*Chi. She is a part of the virtual idol group Interlunium, an 11 member group that releases original music and story. She even designed her own character, Akira!
