8	Yūko Gotō (born August 28, 1975 in Aichi Prefecture, Japan) has the voice of a NiceGirl, but is a damn competent biker in RealLife. She's also [[SugarWiki/SurprisinglyGoodForeignLanguage a fluent English-speaker]], which means she gets cast as foreign characters a fair bit. (She studied at a university in Nagoya to be an English translator, but dropped out to go into TV production work.)
9
10	Gotō first gained recognition in her {{Yandere}} role as Kaede in ''VisualNovel/{{Shuffle}}'' However, with that said, her roles in ''Literature/HaruhiSuzumiya'' and ''Manga/HidamariSketch'' shot her to fame and basically made her the go-to lady for sweet, kind-hearted ladies who may (or may not) have something up their sleeves. Of course, considering her BadassBiker real life background, [[AdamWesting they make fun]] of it in ''Manga/LuckyStar''. Apparently likes ''Manga/FistOfTheNorthStar'' and her favorite character is Souther/[[SpellMyNameWithAnS Thouther]], which led to her pseudonym in ''Lucky Star'': "Gothouther-sama".
11
12	Apparently, Gotō is '''[[BerserkButton sick and tired]]''' of people treating her like a sweetie just because she is good at playing the role. If you do, [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown be prepared to get hurt really REALLY HARD.]]
13
14	Recently [[PromotedFanboy appointed as one of the heads]] of the ''[[Manga/FistOfTheNorthStar Hokuto]] [[VideoGame/DynastyWarriors Musou]]'' game. She is also known for forming the "Forever 29" movement, similar to Creator/KikukoInoue's "Forever 17", only that, you know, say "Always 29 years old."
15
16	She has several autoimmune disorders ([[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Idiopathic_thrombocytopenic_purpura Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura]] and Lupus, having diagnosed of the former as a teen), and in mid-2012 she got sent to the hospital due to a flare-up affecting her heart, lung and vessels. She was on a hiatus for two and a half months and was only out in late September. Thankfully by October 4th, she managed to recover and return. Unfortunately, the chronic nature of her condition continues to seriously affect her voice acting, so may we wish her the best. While she is still active in the voice acting industry, her constant health problems have severely slowed down her career after 2012.
