A newer seiyuu with a slow, but steady rise in fame, Akeno Watanabe is known for her rather husky voice, but she is capable of turning it into a level suitable for cute little boys or desperate young girls. She's a
gamer and a fan of both of the
Tales Series and
Super Robot Wars (somehow turning into an
Ascended Fangirl when she got the roles of
Mao and
Ibis Douglas). To further the joke, the producers of
Code Geass must have taken notice of her liking for
Super Robot Wars, and placed her in the role of someone who
has the same name as one of the
Super Robot Wars'
Original Generation characters (Villetta Vadim).
She is also a self-proclaimed
Bokukko, and that's a factor in her roles.
Do not confuse with
Ken Watanabe.
