Though she liked anime growing up, Sally Amaki never thought she'd grow up to be an anime character.
After moving from Los Angeles to Tokyo, Amaki tried her luck at voice acting and eventually landed the role of the blond-haired Sakura Fujima, one of the eight members of animated idol-pop group 22/7.
The catch, however, was that Amaki wasn't just going to voice the cartoon, she had to become an idol herself.
