Life and career

Template:BLP sources section Konishi formed a budding interest in stage acting as a junior high student, and as a high schooler, received voice training at the Template:Interlanguage link.

She released NOVELETTE (EMI Music Japan, 1999), her first album under her own identity. She teamed up with Ryo Arshe (Ryo Asakawa), her musical collaborator since 1998 and the artist NAOMI, forming the musical unit Little Cure.Template:Citation needed

As a TV personality, she has appeared on both NHK and public sector network shows. She had been a regular on the TV Tokyo-syndicated variety show Ichioshi Kiss, where she was portrayed as the youngest of three sisters, with co-stars Template:Interlanguage link and Hinako Saeki. She was also narrator for the short-lived "pick of the week" show Template:Interlanguage link. She also acted in live action TV Commercials for "Dial 104" (cellphone directory assistance), as keitai detective PI Hiroko.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref><ref name="resume" />

In 2018, Konishi claimed that she was replaced as Ojarumaru in Prince Mackaroo from disputes over her voice recording on Ojarumaru dolls and other merchandise.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> Motivated by the MeToo movement, Konishi shared that she left voice acting after being sexually harassed and witnessing her other female peers abused by their agencies. She also alleged that she was propositioned by her manager Hara to enter a mixed bath in the nude with Akitaro Daichi and claimed that she was unable to get voice acting work after she refused.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref>

In 2019, Hiroko Konishi provided the first ever voice for the character Natchan (playing both Natchan and Erika) in the work Natchan by renowned Japanese manga artist Jun Tanaka, which was previously serialized in *Super Jump*, a manga magazine published by Shueisha<ref>Template:Cite web</ref><ref name="resume"/>

In 2020, she was involved in the “Ichi kara Wakaru” (Understanding from Scratch) educational and opinion animation series, produced by iRONNA, the official video platform of Sankei Shimbun Digital, one of Japan’s major newspaper companies. She was responsible for the planning, composition, and script, in addition to voicing the character ”Minamikaze Hiroko”<ref>Template:Cite web</ref><ref name="resume"/>

Konishi notes on her official site, hirokokonishi.com, that detailed descriptions of her works are relatively limited outside Japan. For this reason, she encourages the use of her website as a primary source when referencing her artistic activities and career.<ref name="profile">Official profile of Hiroko Konishi</ref>

In 2025, to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II and to reflect on Hiroshima, she announced the release of a memorial digital mini-album titled Haruka no shima (Japanese: 遙カノ島), which is also referred to as "A Faraway Island" in English. The album features original songs that were composed, performed, and produced by Konishi herself.<ref name="profile" />

On October 26, 2025, LITTLE CURE released the EP album Retro Vibes 199X worldwide to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the unit's formation. This is the unit's third album, featuring a total of eight tracks (including a bonus track). Characterized by its recreation of 1980s–1990s analog dance culture through Eurodance and technopop sounds, the album evokes the warmth of analog vinyl and the excitement of the golden age of rhythm games in a modern context. The songs, with lyrics by Hiroko Konishi, center on themes of youthful memories, aiming to bridge the experiences of longtime fans from the 1990s dance music scene with new listeners. In Japan, the album debuted at No. 95 on the iTunes Store overall album chart but reached No. 22 on October 27, while topping the Electronic Albums chart continuously from release day.Template:Cite web Template:Cite web

Alongside her career as an actress and musician, Konishi was influenced by her father, a doctor of engineering and patent holder, and began programming in elementary school. Drawing on years of IT experience, she later established her own research laboratory to pursue cutting-edge artificial intelligence studies. She has published multiple academic papers exploring fields such as Quantum-Bio-Hybrid AGI and Synthesis Intelligence.<ref name="RG">Hiroko Konishi — ResearchGate Profile</ref><ref name="Zenodo">Zenodo: Towards a Quantum-Bio-Hybrid Paradigm for Artificial General Intelligence (DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.17567943)</ref>
