Mami Koyama was born in Nishio in Aichi Prefecture on January 17, 1955. She studied at both Aichi Konan College and at Hunter College for a short period, although did not graduate. In 1975, she earned a regular role as an actress in the TV drama "Kiyoko wa Naku Mon ka" (Kiyoko never cries). She moved to Tokyo and at the suggestion of a friend tried switching to voice acting, and earned a role in the 1975 show Ikkyū-san. She became affiliated with Aoni Production as her agency. She married fellow voice actor Tōru Furuya in 1976; the two had been coworkers at NHK Nagoya radio. The couple would divorce in 1983.[4]
Koyama scaled back her voice acting activities in 1990, taking a long break and taking fewer roles afterward.
