Tropes associated with her:
- Contralto of Strength: When playing roles of action-oriented females, she can display a deep and imposing pitch compared to her acting of softer characters.
- Cool Big Sis: One of her specialties. If you read her name in an anime, you can bet that she will perform the role of an older sister figure (literally or figuratively).
- Crossdressing Voices: Her voice can get lower enough to allow her to perform roles of young boys, or even (male) teenagers in some cases.
- Ms. Fanservice: Many character of hers qualify as this particularly Kiyoh, Shura, Mayumi and Velvet.
- Tsundere: While not as prominent in those roles as other voice actresses, she tends to take on tsundere roles from time to time, the most famous example in her case being Mikoto Misaka.
Have a nice dream. See you in hell... And don't tell my father about it.
Also, are you really hiring me? I cannot say what calamities I may bring with me.
