| 10 | ->''Good morning, Troper-san. Please describe a 17-year old seiyuu named Kikuko Inoue, if you would, please?'' |
| 11 | |
| 12 | [[PhraseCatcher Oi oi...]] Anyway, Kikuko Inoue [[note]] her married name is Kikuko Kumagai, but still goes by her maiden name for voice acting [[/note]](born September 25, 1964) is a UsefulNotes/{{Japan}}ese voice actress born in Yokosuka. She was a member of the Goddess Family Club singing club, and like Music/MegumiHayashibara, was also part of the singing club [=DoCo=]. |
| 13 | |
| 14 | Making her debut in 1988, Inoue's known for her dignified, angelic voice, which lends well for her to [[PigeonholedVoiceActor get picked]] to play YamatoNadeshiko, TeamMom, or OneeSama roles. However, she's also well known for playing mega-bitches like I-No from ''VideoGame/GuiltyGear'', Grace from ''Anime/MacrossFrontier'', among others. |
| 15 | |
| 16 | Inoue always refers to herself in public as "17-years old + XXXX days" despite being born in 1964 and no longer looking anywhere ''close'' to 17. This has led to numerous {{Shout Out}}s in anime, such as ''Anime/MyHime''[[note]]with regards to Midori Sugiura's dubious age[[/note]], by Maria from ''Manga/HayateTheCombatButler''[[note]]who actually is 17 ([[YoungerThanTheyLook but is constantly mistaken for someone older]])[[/note]], by Virgilia from ''VisualNovel/UminekoWhenTheyCry''[[note]]who obviously isn't 17-years old but is voiced by Inoue[[/note]], by Shizuka Nekonome from ''Manga/RosarioPlusVampire'', and by Shuuko Komi from ''Manga/KomiCantCommunicate''[[note]]Shouko Komi's mom, who refers to her as this as an ActressAllusion[[/note]]. Some voice actresses, such as Creator/YukariTamura (who voices Midori) have also picked up this habit for laughs. |
| 17 | |
| 18 | Inoue is also very fond of cosplay [[https://www.tumbex.com/tobiasr32.tumblr/post/124567050103/ and]] [[https://i0.wp.com/sojapan.jp/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/xcbv.png often]] [[https://www.crunchyroll.com/news/latest/2014/4/16/video-voice-actress-kikuko-inoue-cosplays-as-franoise003-from-cyborg-009 does so]] [[https://twitter.com/atmanbow_staff/status/1259364633908875265 herself]]. |
| 19 | |
| 20 | As of 2022, according to [[https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/people.php?most_prolific=cast Anime News Network]], she's the most prolific Japanese voice actress with 500+ roles. |
| 21 | |
| 22 | Actress Creator/HonokaInoue, who voices Xiaomei in ''Manga/EdensZero'' and Kotone in ''Manga/RPGRealEstate'', is Inoue's only child. |
| 23 | |
| 24 | Despite her very common surname, she is not related to voice actors who share the same last name, including the late Creator/MakioInoue, the late Creator/YouInoue, Creator/KazuhikoInoue and Creator/MarinaInoue. |
| 25 | |
| 26 | Her personal website can be found [[https://www.manbow.com here]] and her Twitter account can be found [[https://twitter.com/atmanbow_staff here]]. |

| 220 | ---- |
| 221 | !!Kikuko Inoue's works provide examples of: |
| 222 | %% Remember, creators don't get trivia pages. Trivia items on this page should stay here. |
| 223 | * ContraltoOfStrength: Whenever she's voicing a villainess or a bitch, she adjusts her cadence to this effect, moreso if they happen to be intimidating and powerful. |
| 224 | * CoolOldLady: Regardless of her 17-years old RunningGag, it's telling that she's born in 1964 and is one of the older female seiyuus in the business. Yet despite her longevity, she's ''still'' capable of doing all those maternal/sisterly roles. |
| 225 | * CreatorBacklash: Before Kasumi Tendo and Belldandy propelled her to fame and respectability, she was known for her role as a "naughty nurse" in the [[{{Hentai}} erotic OVA]] ''Ogenki Clinic''. Inoue regretted the role so much she managed to take down the UsefulNotes/{{Japanese|Language}} dubbing of the OriginalVideoAnimation when it was being distributed outside Japan. |
| 226 | * TheDanza: Played Inoue in ''Anime/CodeGeass'', and Kikuko in ''Anime/MissMonochrome''. |
| 227 | * FollowTheLeader: Her "17-years old" shtick started when she hosted a radio show and her co-host was known for declaring herself "16-years old!", so she followed and evolved when said co-host is 17-years old. Later, as her 17-years old cult began growing, other similar movements such as "Forever 23" (spearheaded by Creator/ChiakiTakahashi) and "Forever 29" (spearheaded by Creator/YukoGoto) started to sprout. |
| 228 | %%* OneeSama |
| 229 | * MumLooksLikeASister: She starred alongside her own daughter in an advert for headphones meant for anime music. Try telling who the mother is. |
| 230 | * PigeonholedVoiceActor: Not that most have a problem with this when she's practically codified the performance of the YamatoNadeshiko archetype for voice actors (which, according to this trope page, stands at 20 roles). |
| 231 | * PlayingAgainstType: |
| 232 | ** If you think she can only do sweet, pure, angelic women, wait until you hear [[VideoGame/GuiltyGear I-No]], [[Anime/MacrossFrontier Grace O'Connor]], [[VideoGame/SakuraWars Lobelia Carlini]], Lust from ''[[Manga/FullmetalAlchemist Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood]]'', or [[Anime/InazumaElevenAres Irina Girikanan]]. |
| 233 | *** Her as Benigio in ''[[Anime/MahoGirlsPrecure Maho Girls Pretty Cure!]]'' plays with this: while another villainous role for her, it's made more amusing because she talks like a ''{{gyaru|Girl}}'' (which is naturally rendered as a ValleyGirl accent in {{Fan Translation}}s). |
| 234 | ** Professor Nastassja from ''[[Anime/{{Symphogear}}Senki Zesshou Symphogear G]]'' is one of the few times Inoue plays an ''old lady''. |
| 235 | ** The Boss from ''VideoGame/{{Metal Gear Solid 3|SnakeEater}}'' isn't just TheMentor for Naked Snake: this motherly figure is the WorldsBestWarrior who can kick your ass six ways from Sunday. |
| 236 | ** [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamIronBloodedOrphans Carta Issue]] would count, especially when she's the [[LargeHam hammiest]] character in Kikuko's recent portrayals. |
| 237 | ** [[VideoGame/SenranKagura Ryouki]] normally fits Inoue's [[CoolBigSis usual roles]]...until you touch her halo and her sweet, caring personality switches to an incredibly harsh and violent LadySwearsALot. |
| 238 | %%** And let's not forget [[spoiler:[[WebAnimation/{{RWBY}} Salem]]]]. |
| 239 | * ProducedByCastMember: Beginning with ''Symphogear GX'', she earned her first animation staff role as an assistant designer for the Alca-Noise seen from that point on for the series. |
| 240 | * RunningGag: "I'm 17-years old", which is usually followed by her and/or someone else replying "Oi, oi!"[[note]]"Hey, hey!" (or "Oi, Oi!" if you're a Brit)[[/note]]. |
| 241 | ---- |
