YUZUKIIIIIIIIIIIII...RYOKAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!! I'll show you what this badass mother can do! Koshimizu Ami, ready for action!
Ami Koshimizu (born February 15, 1986 in Tokyo, Japan) is one of the prominent new-age voice actors. Her first breakout role as Tenma Tsukamoto in School Rumble was... good, but nothing too groundbreaking. Then she was lucky enough to be numbered amongst the voice actors who received a huge boom in popularity thanks to Code Geass, alongside Jun Fukuyama, for which she won an award, and has since become the go-to-lady if you need to cast a deep voiced, serious and masculine girl. This isn't always the case, however, and she has also found herself voicing perky girly-girls, or sometimes the shyer type.
She isn't very good at English or reading kanji. She also did not know what the word "rise" meant before Jun Fukuyama told her.
Hitomi Nabatame, who has a habit of hitting on her female co-workers, refers to her as "Wife #4".

Ami Koshimizu and her works provide examples of:
- Action Girl: Most of Koshimizu's roles are women who are capable of wiping the floor with others, regardless of the personality of her character.
- Crossdressing Voice: While not as frequently as other voice actresses, she has performed the role of young males on some instances.
- Ms. Fanservice: Most her characters do qualify particularly Kallen, Ryuko and Mai.
- Star-Making Role: First noticed as Tenma Tsukamoto. Ultimately, it is Kallen Stadtfeld that launched her into ultimate stardom...and pretty much codified her being cast as an Action Girl.
- Trrrilling Rrrs: A spate of Hot-Blooded roles have shown her to be quite good at this. (See any of Ryuuko's battle scenes for an example.)
