Most fans know Junko Takeuchi (born April 5, 1972) as the voice of the titular Franchise/{{Naruto}}. However, she's more than that. She has a knack for voicing HotBlooded IdiotHero boys as well as {{Bishounen}} in general and can play against type if needed. She is currently married to Creator/KenjiHamada and has 2 children.

She's also the current voice of Creator/{{Sanrio}}'s Kuromi, [[SweetSheep My Sweet Piano]], and Gudetama.

Not to be confused with Creator/NaokoTakeuchi or fellow seiyuus Creator/RyotaTakeuchi and Creator/ShunsukeTakeuchi.
