FYI, Tanaka was never Impa. That was Rei Shimoda. the source on her page her references... A Gamefaqs thread.


Nevertheless, RIp to a legend. It's sobering to see how many companies and people are wishing her condolences.

Such heartfelt appreciation and remembrance of a legend.

I'm guessing part 2 will include her fellow seiyuu.

Why not mention Konan from Naruto?

It was one of her most popular roles.

I think that one of the seiyuu who would be saddened by this would be Kikuko Inoue as she was Tanaka-San's best friend.

Yeah, if anything - it was the most devastating news for Inoue-san, and considering she seemed to know about her illness while never saying a word about it and was near Tanaka-san on her last day told a lot about their friendly relationship.

It's Morikawa Toshiyuki (written in Katakana beside his name in Kanji (his Twitter handle)), not Tomoyuki Morikawa

Sayaka Ohara's tweet hurts the most. Sad

Why do you guys avoid including Kikuko Inoue's post on X, whom Atsuko considered the best friend?

And why not include the role of Konan from Naruto, which was one of her most popular ones?

This just goes to show how Tanaka affected the lives of so many. I hope Hikaru sees all of this to confirm that his mother is indeed a legend.
