After finishing high school in Hokkaido, she moved to Tokyo to become a stage actress. She entered the training school of the
Tokyo Actor's Consumer's Cooperative Society (Haikyō) and enrolled in the acting department for half a year. She joined the theater company because she could not get into the upper class on the advanced exam. Her voice work began after she was discovered by a voice actor's office manager who saw Araki on stage. Her first anime work was
Maison Ikkoku. After that, Araki affiliated with
Ken Production. Instead of voice work, the NHK reporter and scene moderators focused mainly on face-to-face work. She then transferred to
Arts Vision, where animation was the main focus. In 1993, she played the main character
Usagi Tsukino in the
Sailor Moon anime series, for 7 episodes replacing
Kotono Mitsuishi who was hospitalized. The schedule required a substitute and Araki was selected. Later, in the sequel to the series, she played
Sailor Chibi Moon. Her role was decided without an audition. In 1995, she played Miaka Yūki in
Fushigi Yûgi, her first leading role in television animation. She was affiliated with
81 Produce from August 2003 to May 2010 and is currently freelancing. In 2019 Kae Araki was featured in the major
Bandai "Proplica" release of Sailor Chibi Moon's transformation compact. ==Filmography==
