3	Masako Katsuki (born October 15, 1958 as Masako Shiono) is a veteran Japanese voice actress.
4
5	She may be mostly known today as the voice behind Tsunade of ''Manga/{{Naruto}}'', or perhaps as the original [[Anime/SailorMoon Michiru Kaioh/Sailor Neptune]]. She's often [[PigeonholedVoiceActor pigeonholed]] as older female characters, such as women with large breasts (or even a BerserkButton), YamatoNadeshiko types, ActionGirl and LadyOfWar type roles (strong and sexy is probably [[PigeonholedVoiceActor her high point]]), mother types, {{Tsundere}} types. Can even play {{Bishonen}} if necessary, and also the BigBad. She also has a knack in playing Senpai or Sensei roles, or even [[TheBaroness baronesses]]. Has a nice singing voice too, and can be heard in narration and a lot of Western shows and movies dubbed in Japanese.
