Sagara was born in Kyoto Prefecture on April 17, 1995.[1] She had an interest in anime from a young age and wanted to pursue a career as a voice actress by the time she was in her sixth year of elementary school. This desire was strengthened after watching the anime series Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha and noticing that its lead cast members, Yukari Tamura and Nana Mizuki, performed the show's opening and ending themes. After graduating from high school she enrolled in a training school operated by the voice acting agency Pro-Fit; after completing her training, she became affiliated with the agency's subsidiary Link-Plan.[2][3]
Sagara's first named voice acting role was as the character Mirai Kajiwara in the anime series Idol Memories.[2] In 2017 she was cast as the character Kasumi Nakasu in Love Live! Nijigasaki High School Idol Club.[4] In 2020 she voiced Moe Isurugi in Warlords of Sigrdrifa.[5] That same year she left Link-Plan and transferred to talent agency Digital Double.[6] In 2021 she played Ayaka Mizusawa in PuraOre! Pride of Orange.[7]
On September 8, 2023, she made her solo singer debut under Universal Music Japan with her first album releasing on November 15, 2023.[8]
