Born on March 28, 1963, Chieko Honda was a veteran voice actress that was quite the expert in playing Action Girl or Genki Girl roles. She did come out of her pigeonhole on many occasions, though. She was particularly famous for her long association with Sunrise and the Gundam franchise — she voiced major characters in Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ, After War Gundam X, Mobile Suit SD Gundam (reprising Ple), and Mobile Suit Gundam: The 08th MS Team, as well as Silent Möbius, The Brave Express Might Gaine and Heavy Metal L-Gaim.
She tragically lost her life
on February 18th, 2013, aged 50, due to multiple forms of cancer while undergoing treatment.
