Sumire Morohoshi was born in Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan, on April 23, 1999. At the time of birth, the right side of her body was paralysed, but the paralysis was cured within a few months.[3]
Morohoshi joined the Himawari Theatre Group at the age of three, inspired by her admiration for characters in Spirited Away. In 2006, at the age of seven, she voiced Carrie in the anime series Red Garden and was shocked by the vocal performance of co-star Takehito Koyasu. At the age of nine, she voiced Nina Tucker in Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, in which her "skillful" performance encouraged the staff to cast her as Betty in Heroman.
Since 2009, she has been active as a voice actor, in addition to performing in television dramas and on stage. In 2019, she made her debut in record label FlyingDog's track "Pure White," which was used for the opening theme to Ascendance of a Bookworm, and released as part of her debut album Smile. The second season featured Morohoshi's first solo single, "Tsumujikaze."
On July 14, 2022, Morohoshi tested positive for COVID-19.[4]
