3	[[Anime/DragonBallZ GOKUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-- boom!]] Oh wait, we're describing her, not blowing her up.
4
5	You never would've thought [[Manga/DragonBall Son Goku]] and Manga/{{Naruto}} are [[CrossdressingVoices voiced]] [[Creator/MasakoNozawa by]] [[Creator/JunkoTakeuchi women]]. OK, maybe you would have since they have rather feminine voices, but would it surprise you to know Krillin and [[Manga/OnePiece Monkey D. Luffy]] are ''also'' voiced by a woman?

7	No? Well, the point is veteran voice actress Mayumi Tanaka (born January 15, 1955).
8
9	Her birth name is ''Mayumi Abe'' and she's been in the business for quite a while (39 years as of 2016!). Before being cast as the voice of the lovable captain of the Going Merry, (and later the Thousand Sunny), she was also the resident [[TheLancer lancer]] in ''Manga/DragonBall'', Krillin. Since then, Mayumi's been cast in plenty of male, {{shonen\|Demographic}} roles, occasionally voicing TheHero. And her best-known female role is [[Manga/UruseiYatsura a girl who's been raised as a boy by her father, to the point where she has one of the most masculine of Japanese names]].
10
11	Her husband, Hiroyuki Shibamoto, is a voice actor in his own right.
