I bet that woman never knew how famous she would really become and how the fictional creature she puts life into with speech is now one of the most well known fictional characters in the world
she does know. This isn't the only one of her best work. She is renowned as one of the best voice actress in Japan for voicing many of globally popular character, such as Chopper from One Piece and Konohamaru from Naruto.
Veronica Taylor (Ash) said that this amazing cutie pie is one of the reasons for her amazing dialogue delivery in English. She was astonished with the emotions that this cutie brings with just one word... Pikachu!
I would have NEVER thought the voice actor for Pikachu was an old lady! I just hope there are others that sound exactly like her to take her spot in the future... *Sniffle*... Live long, Pikachu, live long...
With the passing of Akira, videos like this really make me glad to have been able to share the Earth with the people that made things like that for us to enjoy.
