Title: Yuko Mizutani (1964-2016) Post by: A-Log on May 19, 2016, 02:18:24 pm The original voice of Lucille, Mama-san and Yard Bird, among others... has passed away.
(>:() More details on her death can be found here: http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2016-05-19/chibi-maruko-chan-black-jack-voice-actress-yuko-mizutani-passes-away/.102272 She's also known for voicing characters such as Mihoshi in the "Tenchi Muyo" series and Sora on "Digimon"; she was also the official Japanese voice of Minnie Mouse. Godspeed. Title: Re: Yuko Mizutani (1964-2016) Post by: KageReneko on May 19, 2016, 08:13:25 pm Wow... Another important star of my child and youth years that has left us...
RIP OmiChan... From now every time I see a shooting star I know it will be one of your happiness missiles... :'( Title: Re: Yuko Mizutani (1964-2016) Post by: felineki on May 20, 2016, 01:06:46 am Kappei Yamaguchi (:speedy:) says in response:

Title: Re: Yuko Mizutani (1964-2016) Post by: KageReneko on May 20, 2016, 10:25:19 am Looking around the web I can see her Omitsu role is pretty obscure, the list of Mizutani Sensei's voice roles usually don't include her so seeing Yamaguchi Sensei to directly mourn her Omitsu chacracter (Even including a Teyandee!!) makes his tweet even more special than it already is...
Half of Mipple is in Animaroid heaven now... Title: Re: Yuko Mizutani (1964-2016) Post by: felineki on May 20, 2016, 02:47:28 pm Plenty of people on Twitter seem to be remembering her as Omitsu. A few have even posted drawings and such.

Title: Re: Yuko Mizutani (1964-2016) Post by: Tigriss on February 24, 2017, 10:10:08 am A friend told me about this three days after it happened and I recognized her as being the voice of Omitsu right away, so I was crushed. Another talented voice gone. At least now, after all these years, we'll be able to preserve one of the great works they were in to honor their memory.
