Trivia / Idol Densetsu Eriko

• Completely Different Title:
  • French: Erika
  • Italian: Ciao, Sabrina
  • Arabic: أيروكا (Iruka)
• Dueling Dubs: There are two European Spanish dubs - one by Telecinco and Jonu Media.
• Follow the Leader: The success of this anime prompted Ashi Productions to make another series inspired by a real-life idol, Idol Angel Yokoso Yoko.
• He Also Did: The character designer, Noriyasu Yamauchi would later go on to be the character designer for Agent Aika and its Spiritual Successor, Najica Blitz Tactics among others, something that was made very apparent in his illustrations for Eriko in the late 90's and the 2000's.
• Non-Singing Voice: Eriko is mainly voiced by Akiko Yajima, but her singing voice is provided by Eriko Tamura.
• Star-Making Role: The role of Eriko was this for Akiko Yajima, as voicing Eriko was her debut and would be her biggest role until 3 years later, when a certain mischievous 5 year old would further cement her as one of the top voice actors in the industry ^note  though she would eventually step down from her role as Shin-chan in 2018, due to increasing difficulties maintaining her voice .
