Describe Ayako Kawasumi here, gyabo~!
One of the more prolific female Japanese voice actors, Ayako Kawasumi had a decent start in the 90's but really boomed after 2000. She has a great versatility in her voice, and whereas her early roles are either Genki Girls or everyday-sweet-neighbor friends, her later roles show a wider range. Her role as Saber on Fate/stay night made her one of the most popular seiyuu to this day.
In addition, Ayako Kawasumi is a skilled pianist. Has a big-sisterly friendship with younger but no-less-popular seiyuu Mamiko Noto. Has had MANY couple roles with Tomokazu Seki. Chiaki's hatred for Nodame? Requited by Gilgamesh towards Saber.
Ayako Kawasumi has performed in the following roles:
- Saber aka Arthuria Pendragon in Fate stay night, Fate Zero, Fate: Grand Order, etc.
- Also all of her alternate versions in FGO. And many of the "Saber faces"-like characters (save for Souji Okita, who's voiced by Aoi Yuuki; Lakshmibai who's voiced by Rina Sato; and the Saber from Fate Extra aka Nero Claudius, who's voiced by Sakura Tange).
- Plus Lady Avalon aka the Merlin from the Fate Prototype world and Fou aka Caith Palug
