4	One of the more popular Japanese voice actress since the TurnOfTheMillennium, Mamiko Noto (born February 6, 1980 in Kanazawa, Japan) is known for her soft breathy voice, which is worshiped by some and derided by others as ridiculously "[[{{UsefulNotes/Kawaisa}} cute]]". She tends to play either {{Moe}} or otherwise {{Nice Girl}}s, but one thing that makes her so famous is her ability to adapt to almost any type of role, even incredibly creepy ones -- well, so long as the character is a girl or a young boy (though, on occasion, she has portrayed an older woman). She has a long-standing friendship with fellow voice actress Creator/AyakoKawasumi and Creator/NanaMizuki.
5
6	She's a member of the seiyuu group "MORE PEACH SUMMER SNOW" alongside Creator/ChiwaSaito, Creator/HarunaIkezawa and Creator/RyoHirohashi (co-[=VAs=] in ''Manga/SgtFrog''; Hirohashi is also a co-[=VAs=] in ''VisualNovel/{{Clannad}}'' and ''Literature/TaishoBaseballGirls'', while Saito and Ikezawa worked with Noto on ''Literature/MariaWatchesOverUs'', with Ikezawa also being in ''Manga/GirlsBravo''). Mamiko had visited Otakon 2007 in Baltimore.
7
8	Though they're not ''that'' closely related, Noto seems to have a relation with fellow voice actress Creator/KaoriShimizu. If the latter appears in one series, the former has a high chance of also appearing in that series (though it doesn't generally work in reverse), and it's also probable that Noto's character will be under the care/supervision (or maybe the junior) of Kaori's character (case in point, ''Manga/SchoolRumble'' and ''Literature/HarukaNogizakasSecret''; in other cases, they're companions, such as ''VideoGame/EndlessFrontier''). It's also listed in Website/TheOtherWiki that Noto's voice is very hard to imitate, but Kaori is the only one to ever come close to imitating it, a feat that fellow voice actress Creator/KikukoInoue can also do with remarkable results. According to [[https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/people.php?most_prolific=cast Anime News Network]], Mamiko is the third-most prolific Japanese voice actress at a whopping 450+ roles, surpassed by Creator/RieKugimiya and Inoue.
9
10	In addition, it's easy to be confused with Noto and Creator/SaoriHayami because of the latter's similar manner of conversation and the relaxed timbre of her voice.
11
12	In September 2018, she revealed that she got married to someone who's not an actor. Mamiko gave birth to her first child on February 1, 2019.

195	----
196	!!Tropes associated with Mamiko Noto's roles
197	%%* PlayingAgainstType: Many instances, or else she wouldn't be this famous these days.
198	%%* RunningGag: She's [[{{Manga/Gintama}} Pandemonium]], seriously.
199	* WomanOfAThousandVoices:
200	** While breathy {{Moe}} voice seems to be her go-to type, she utilizes that voice to tremendous range, including a scary one with [[Manga/{{Monster}} Johan Liebert crossdressing as Anna Liebert...]]
201	** Another good example of defying type is Scathach in ''Fate/Grand Order''. Many of Noto's characters are relatively cute Moe girls (even Altera, to some degree); Scathach is the confident, authoritative queen of the Land of Shadows, and this ''carries'' in her voice, which is commanding and downright ''husky'' at times. It can sometimes be a surprise to people that Altera and Scathach are played by the same woman. She also does her more 'standard' voice in form of Brynhild, you can compare those within the same game.
202	** Her flexible voice range gets also cleverly utilized within ''VideoGame/HonkaiImpact3rd'' where she voices Durandal as the serious and commanding LadyOfWar, while later using a somewhat similar but more cutesy tone of voice that she is known for when she's playing a younger and pre-amnesiac version of the same character, who's revealed to be [[spoiler:the original Kiana Kaslana]].
203	** [[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventureDiamondIsUnbreakable Yukako Yamagishi]]. She might sound normal at times if a bit awkward as her, if she's pissed off, she's capable of screeching while maintaining a contralto.
204	* {{Yandere}}: Her breathy soft voice and her ability to lower her voice on a whim make her a perfect candidate to do this kind of role.
