Probably one of the most famous Japanese voice actors when it comes to... Token Mini-Moe characters. Yukari Tamura (born February 27, 1976 in Fukuoka Prefecture, Japan) is pretty much the one you will want to voice all those adorable, sweet, cheery little sisters out there... being able to kick ass is also a good bonus, and much better if she does it with magic. However, not only that, she also does just as well about older girls, that are sometimes impulsive in nature, a direct contrast to her subservient, adorable lolis. Creepy roles? She can do that when it comes to it too. She also has a tendency to voice Bokukkos (case in point: Sakura and Rika, and more recently Nui Harime). Her voice range is comparable to that of Cherami Leigh's.
Her Fan Nickname is Yukarin. She also joins Kikuko Inoue in her 'Refer Yourself As Eternally 17 Years Old' stitch.
Often cast with Yui Horie, which has led to the two temporarily forming a singing duo which has released a few singles. And surprisingly The Nobuyuki Hiyama, because to the Otakus around the world, their partnership is their fantasies come true!
Also has extensive experience in working with Mai Nakahara (Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha StrikerS, CLANNAD, Higurashi: When They Cry, Myself ; Yourself, Godannar, My-HiME, My-Otome, Katanagatari, and Project × Zone 2; they also play a pair of twins in Seikon No Qwaser).
She and Nana Mizuki both received the ultimate honor: their very own Nendoroid figures.

Tropes Associated with Yukarin-sama.
- Shipper on Set: Much like her co-star Nana Mizuki, Yukari is also a huge NanoFate shipper. She even made a comment in an interview that Nanoha would be the housewife to Fate's breadwinner some 10 years after the ending of the second season.
- Woman of a Thousand Voices: While less apparent than others, she voices both Nanoha Takamachi and her stoic doppelganger Stern The Destructor, proving that she is capable of this.
- Compare her role as Talim and Laegjarn. It might be a case of Vocal Evolution, but she can still voice Talim in a high pitched voice as evidenced with Soulcalibur VI.
