Her works provide examples of:
- Child-Like Voice: In her case, it's not a voice acting technique, it's her real voice
, which is perfect for animated little girls. - Cute, but Cacophonic: She has a very high-pitched, almost childish voice that sounds weird in real life, and used to be ashamed of it. When she started to work as a voice actress in animation, voicing young girls was just natural for her, as she didn't need to change her voice at all.
- Star-Making Role: Aiko, one of the protagonists from Ojamajo Doremi. From that point on, she has been a prolific voice actress with several other prominent roles in animation.
