Do not ignore her unless you want to get tazed.
Um... Is the microphone's volume good? Check, 1, 2... Panpakapa~n! Describe Lucky Nao Touyama here, de~su!
Nao Tōyama (born March 11, 1992 in Tokyo, Japan) is a Japanese voice actress. Her breakout role was Kanon Nakagawa in The World God Only Knows, which is extremely notable in that she also released her first album (as Kanon's voice actress) because of the show.
However, her definitive role, the role that has more or less made her career and what most fans in Japan will identify her with today, is her role as Lyria, the god-summoning female lead of Granblue Fantasy. As she appears in some form in every single event and story chapter, she has recorded many, many hours of Lyria content, is a regular host for and participant in radio and stream events for the franchise, and has recorded multiple image songs in the character of Lyria. She is a cornerstone of GBF's promotional material and image, and always makes time for GBF content ahead of other jobs.
Her other cornerstone role lies in another mobile game, but this one of no less fame: she is the voice of a number of the ships in KanColle, but she's particularly known as the voice of the Kongou, who is something of a de facto mascot ship-girl for the franchise. While she's still very famous for her exploits in KanColle (see below for an example), in terms of sheer scope, this role still takes second place to her exposure as Lyria.
She can speak conversational English aside from Japanese, which she learned from her father when he returned from overseas when she was young. Though she admitted in radio show interviews that she sometimes has trouble using English, especially as time goes on and she doesn't have as many opportunities.

Tropes associated with Nao Toyama's roles:
- "Do It Yourself" Theme Tune: She sung many theme songs in anime she casted in, most of them Image Songs of some of her characters. Hell, her first role as Kanon has her record an album for her character.
- Genki Girl: She is typecast as Genki Girls most of the time, but can play other roles.
- Idol Singer: Beside her breakout role, she has also voiced several idol characters throughout her career.
-
Narrowed It Down to the Guy I Recognize: Girl of course. In any Romance comedy anime, she voiced Yui Yuigahama and Tomoe Koga, whose got rejected by the main character, whom is their love interest (With the exception of Chitoge Kirisaki). When she voiced Ruka Sarashina, fans expected that she'll be rejected in the end, which she cries. - Playing Against Type: Mizuki Kawashima from THE iDOLM@STER: Cinderella Girls. It's no secret when she voiced Idol Singers that made her career out of character CD Songs such as Reina Prowler. Nobody expected her voicing a 28-year-old older sister who's the Team Mom of her group aside Actor Allusion, which is a polar opposite of type of characters she casted as.
