1. Early Life and Debut
Saeko Chiba's early life was marked by a passion for performing arts, which eventually led her to a prominent career in voice acting and music.
1.1. Childhood and Education
Chiba was born on August 26, 1977, in Hachinohe, Aomori Prefecture, Japan, and grew up in Tokyo. She has an older brother who is three years her senior. From a young age, Chiba began ballet training, initially with aspirations of joining the prestigious Takarazuka Revue. During her third year of middle school, she took the entrance exam for the Takarazuka Music School but was unsuccessful.
She later graduated from Tokyo Metropolitan Yoyogi High School. Her enrollment at this school involved transferring from a private girls' school during her second year of high school to accommodate her burgeoning entertainment activities. An anecdote from her time at the school, involving a girl on a school trip, was featured in the essay *Kuzukago no Naka no Shi-Toritsu Yoyogi Koukou no Aru Seishun* (Poetry in a Wastebasket-A Youth at Tokyo Metropolitan Yoyogi High School) by Yoshimasa Hoshino, who was the principal at the time.
1.2. Performing Arts Activities
In 1994, Chiba joined the Minami Aoyama Shōjo Kageki Dan (南青山少女歌劇団Minami Aoyama Shōjo Kageki DanJapanese, South Aoyama Female Opera Group), also known as Nanshō, as a 4th generation member. During her three years with the troupe, she took on several lead roles in stage performances, notably starring as Ichimoto in the musical 'Seika Monogatari'. Her early career also included live-action appearances; in 1995, she appeared in a television commercial for *Magic Knight Rayearth* related merchandise, portraying Phoenix Rayearth alongside fellow Nanshō members Kaie Hirohashi and Hidemi Iida. In 1996, this connection led to the formation of the unit "FEEL" with Hirohashi and Iida. The unit appeared in live-action for the game *Omakase! Taima-gyo (Sabers)* and debuted their CD with the game's theme song, "Otoko nara." Chiba eventually graduated from the opera group due to age regulations. Following her time with Nanshō, she was affiliated with Space Craft Produce.
In April 1998, Chiba was selected for the lead role of Haruka Nonomura in the musical *Sakura Wars~Hanasaku Otome~*, a production planned by Oji Hiroi. This encounter with Hiroi Oji was pivotal, as he invited her to take on her first voice acting role as Kotori Haruno in the Dreamcast game *Kita he~White Illumination*.
1.3. Voice Acting Debut
Although her voice acting debut was in the game *Kita he~White Illumination*, her first on-screen anime voice role came in October 1998, portraying Tsubaki Sakura in the anime series *Kare Kano* (also known as *His and Her Circumstances*). After experiencing voice acting, Chiba decided she preferred it to stage performance and chose to pursue voice acting full-time. Early in her career, she became known for her long, straight black hair and seemingly cool demeanor, which often led to her being cast in "tsundere" or "cool-girl" roles. Notable early roles include Kitsune no Akane in *Angel Tales* and Elliot Chapman in *Sci-Fi Harry*.
2. Career Highlights
Saeko Chiba's career has seen significant growth in both her voice acting and music endeavors, marked by evolving character portrayals and diverse musical projects.
2.1. Voice Acting Career
Initially, Chiba's physical appearance, characterized by her long, straight black hair and what was perceived as a "cold" outward demeanor, heavily influenced her early casting in "tsundere" or "cool-girl" roles. However, her acting range began to diversify considerably after she cut her hair short in the spring of 2005. This change coincided with a noticeable broadening of the types of characters she was offered, a fact she herself noted in an interview on the *My-HiME* fandisc. Her later roles demonstrated her versatility, encompassing a wide array of personalities and emotional depths.
Throughout her career, Chiba has voiced numerous memorable characters across popular anime series and video games. Some of her most prominent roles include Akina Nanamura in *UFO Ultramaiden Valkyrie*, Chika Ito in *Strawberry Marshmallow*, Natsuki Kuga in *My-HiME* and Natsuki Kruger in *My-Otome*, Dokuro Mitsukai in *Bludgeoning Angel Dokuro-Chan*, Ayane in *Nagasarete Airantou*, Mio Sakamoto in *Strike Witches*, and Rubi Tōjō in *Rosario + Vampire*. She also lent her voice to Kurumi Ijuuin in *The Prince of Tennis* and Akira Midorino in *Reideen*.
2.2. Music Career
Chiba's musical career ran concurrently with her voice acting, featuring solo releases and significant collaborations. She was particularly known for her collaboration with Yuki Kajiura, who composed and produced almost all of her solo material. Kajiura had previously worked on music for some of the Minami Aoyama Shōjo Kageki Dan stage shows, establishing a long-standing creative relationship with Chiba.
2.2.1. Solo Activities
Chiba debuted as a solo singer on February 27, 1999, with the single "Koi no Kiseki," which served as the theme song for the PlayStation game *Meguri Aishite*. She released nine singles and two full-length albums during her solo career. Her music activities were primarily under the Lantis record label from 2003 to 2004. Her solo releases included theme songs for games such as *Alundra 2* and *Atelier Judie*.

2.2.2. Group Activities (Tiaraway)
In the autumn of 2003, Chiba formed the duo "tiaraway" with Yuuka Nanri, a junior from the Minami Aoyama Shōjo Kageki Dan. Their collaboration began with the song "Usual place" and they initially performed as 'Saeko Chiba & Yuuka Nanri' for *Memories Off 2nd*. The duo went on to release three singles and one album. However, tiaraway disbanded on March 6, 2005, following their first concert, "TWO:LEAF."

4. Personal Life and Episodes
Saeko Chiba publicly announced her marriage on August 27, 2007, coinciding with her 30th birthday. Later, on February 17, 2011, she gave birth to her first child, a daughter.
Outside of her professional life, Chiba's hobbies include solving the Rubik's Cube and playing the flute. She also has a fondness for dogs. An interesting anecdote from her career is her nickname, "The Painter" (画伯GahakuJapanese), which she earned due to her highly unique and distinctive drawing style displayed at various events. Her signature greeting to fans, "Nyokisuku~♪" (にょきすく~♪Nyokisuku~♪Japanese), originated as a greeting on her official website's bulletin board. It carries the meaning, "Please steadily grow (enliven) the bulletin board." Her personal motto is "You can do it if you try!" (やればできる!Yareba dekiru!Japanese).
