You don't know who Yuko Miyamura is? Anta baka?!note
Yuko Miyamura (also romanized as "Yuuko") (born December 4, 1972 in Kobe, Japan) is a voice actress and occasional singer and sound director. She tends to play pushy, Hot-Blooded girls like Asuka Langley Soryu from Neon Genesis Evangelion and Aisha Clan-Clan of Outlaw Star, although she might play Tyke Bomb roles too like Alyssa from My-HiME...
She had to temporarily retire because of Graves' disease note , but hey, she's back in her old role of Asuka in Rebuild of Evangelion, so maybe that retirement wasn't so binding. She also became friends with Tiffany Grant, the first English voice of Asuka.
Yuko also has a role in Battle Royale, as the bat-shit insane instructor on tape.
Resided in Melbourne, Australia, with brief and occasional visits back to Japan until July 18, 2016 when she announced her divorce on twitter and moved back to Japan.

Tropes associated to Yuko Miyamura
- Career Resurrection: Yuko was fairly active across the 1990s into the early 2000s. After moving to Melbourne in the mid-2000s, Yuko's career wasn't as big as it used to be, not helping when she had Grave's Disease. Since 2016, she has moved back to Japan full time.
- Playing Against Type: Although she usually plays hot-blooded or insane, characters, Souffle from Juuni Senshi Bakuretsu Eto Ranger is gentle and have some insecurities about herself.
- Ditto for Ayano Elizabeth Hakuhouin
