Yuko Mizutani [1] (1964-2016)was one of those people who isn't exactly known for who she was in Real Life, but more of who she voiced. Action Girls of varying degrees were perhaps the majority of her roles, but she'd also play the protagonist's little sister. Expect to find Toshiyuki Morikawa and Kazuhiko Inoue working alongside some of her works.
Western fans of her work will note that her natural speaking voice is that of Excellen Browning, and that she's also playing Super Robot Wars OG Saga: Endless Frontier EXCEED.
She sadly passed away from breast cancer in May of 2016.
Yuko Mizutani provides examples of the following tropes:
- Author Existence Failure: Her last role was in Super Robot Wars: Original Generation. Currently, Aya Endo voices her characters.
