You don't know who Yuko Miyamura is? [[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion Anta baka?!]][[note]]What are you, ''stupid''?![[/note]]

Yuko Miyamura (also romanized as "Yuuko") (born December 4, 1972 in Kobe, Japan) is a voice actress and occasional singer and sound director. She tends to play pushy, HotBlooded girls like Asuka Langley Soryu from ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'' and Aisha Clan-Clan of ''Manga/OutlawStar'', although she might play TykeBomb roles too like Alyssa from ''Anime/MyHime''...

She had to temporarily retire because of Graves' disease [[note]] an autoimmune form of goiter [[/note]], but hey, she's back in her old role of Asuka in ''Anime/RebuildOfEvangelion'', so maybe that retirement [[TenMinuteRetirement wasn't so binding]]. She also became friends with Creator/TiffanyGrant, the first English voice of Asuka.

Yuko also has a role in ''Film/BattleRoyale'', as the bat-shit insane instructor on tape.

Resided in UsefulNotes/{{Melbourne}}, UsefulNotes/{{Australia}}, with brief and occasional visits back to Japan until July 18, 2016 when [[https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/interest/2016-07-18/voice-actress-yuko-miyamura-announces-divorce/.104444 she announced her divorce on twitter]] and moved back to Japan.

!! Tropes associated to Yuko Miyamura
* CareerResurrection: Yuko was fairly active across the 1990s into the early 2000s. After moving to Melbourne in the mid-2000s, Yuko's career wasn't as big as it used to be, not helping when she had Grave's Disease. Since 2016, she has moved back to Japan full time.
* PlayingAgainstType: Although she usually plays hot-blooded or insane, characters, Souffle from Anime/JuuniSenshiBakuretsuEtoRanger is gentle and have some insecurities about herself.
