Rihoko Yoshida (吉田 理保子, Yoshida Rihoko?) (born January 24, 1949, in Tokyo) is a Japanese voice actress, among the first female seiyuu who gained recognization in The '70s. Her speciality were the Plucky girls, whether sweet and soft-spoken, or loud and willful: if the lady she voiced wasn't already very plucky, she'd start developing her own spine soon.
According to The Other Wiki, Yoshida retired from voice acting in 1998 to become Director of Business Development for the voice acting agency 81 Produce. In 2002, she provided casting assistance for one of the feature-length Pokémon films, Pokémon Heroes: Latias & Latios.
