7	Ikue Ōtani (born August 18, 1965) is a Japanese voice actress who is mostly known for her rather ''genki'' voice and as a result tends to voice young or cute characters, often being cast as the TokenMiniMoe or CheerfulChild. She went on pregnancy leave from January to May 2006, during which her voice roles for ''[[Manga/ZatchBell Gash Bell]]'', ''Manga/CaseClosed'' and ''Manga/OnePiece'' were replaced although her voice role for Pikachu wasn't; the studio had many recordings to work with.

9	Despite her typecast, she has quite the voice range and [[ManOfAThousandVoices often plays multiple characters in the same show]].
