2 | Hiromi Tsuru (鶴 ひろみ ''Tsuru Hiromi'', March 29, 1960 -- November 16, 2017) was a voice actress whose roles tended to be {{Shorttank}}s, {{Action Girl}}s, or {{Cool Big Sis}}. She was also known as Naomi Hunter in ''VideoGame/MetalGear'', so beware. |

4 | Tsuru focused her career on being a {{narrator}} for news broadcasts and Japanese television shows starting in TheNineties, while keeping her [[LongRunners long-running]] roles - [[Franchise/DragonBall Bulma]] and [[Literature/{{Anpanman}} Dokin-chan]] - as her "lifetime anime roles." Needless to say, thanks to her roles as Bulma and Dokin-chan, her voice was a fixture of the childhoods of entire generations of Japanese kids. |
