Or, if you prefer,
Yuko-neesama.
Yuko Mizutani was a veteran voice actress known for voicing the big sister Sakiko Sakura of the
long-running family anime
Chibi Maruko-chan. She was one of those people who isn't exactly known for who she was in
Real Life, but more of who she voiced:
Action Girls of varying degrees were perhaps the majority of her roles, but she also played the protagonist's little sister. Expect to find
Toshiyuki Morikawa and
Kazuhiko Inoue working alongside some of her works.
Western fans of her work will note that her natural speaking voice was that of
Excellen Browning, and that she also
played Super Robot Wars OG Saga: Endless Frontier EXCEED.
Unfortunately, on May 17, 2016, she passed away due to breast cancer, making
Super Robot Wars Original Generation: The Moon Dwellers her last voice-acting role. And makes the jokes about her role as
Sora being
Dawson Casting a lot harsher, and creating a lot of
Harsher in Hindsight moments for many of her characters which died tragically. Rest in peace,
big sister...
