Talented Voice Actress

Junko Takeuchi is a professional Japanese voice artist (seiyuu). Like many other female voice actresses in Japan, she often voices young male characters. A good example would be the very popular Japanese anime 'Naruto', where she voices the main character, a hyperactive ninja named Naruto Uzumaki; or a classic shounen anime 'Hunter x Hunter', where Takeuchi-san does the voice of the 12-year-old main character Gon. You can find out more about her roles in anime and a short biography below.

Short Bio of Junko Takeuchi 

Junko Takeuchi was born on April 5th, 1972 in Saitama, Japan. Her hobbies are reading and watching professional wrestling, and her blood type is B. Like mentioned before, she has voiced a lot of young male characters in various animes; you might think she has a rough voice, but that's not true at all! You can listen to a song 'Kuroi Hitomi' by Junko Takeuchi below. I wonder how she can pull it off, singing a beautiful song like that and voicing a goofy teenager like Naruto!

Naruto: a Notable Role of Junko Takeuchi 

Naruto is a 12 year old, hyperactive, prankster ninja living in the hidden village of Konoha. He has a dark secret: the terrible Nine-Tails Fox, a beast which nearly destroyed the village 12 years ago, is sealed in his belly. As a result, Naruto is hated and shunned by other villagers, but he never gives up and constantly struggles to be accepted. Naruto's greatest dream is to become Hokage: the strongest ninja in the village, who's job is to lead and protect it's people.

It's Naruto's turn at the mike, or should I say Junko's. Naruto Japanese seiyuu is a girl, so expect girliness in this song, as she sung this image song for a female character. Song: Kuroi Hitomi Anime: Onegai My Melody Character: Kuroi Hitomi/Kuromi Enjoy listening! kakuyokufubuki

KAWAII!!! but seriously, your my biggest inspiration. you make me realize thats its not impossoble to do the impossoble! you rock hard! thanks for all of your hard work. i appreciate it alot!!!

If you like her you have to watch other female seiyuu. My personal favorite is Romi Paku, who voices so many different characters from T%u014Dshir%u014D Hitsugaya (bleach) Edward Elric (FMA) to so many other wonder characters. BTW she also plays Temari (Naruto)... Another cool seiyuu is Junko Minagawa, if you want to watch something funny, watch He is my master! Anyway she plays Ryoma Echizen (The Prince of Tennis), she is also in Vampire Knight and Code Geass. These three woman are AWESOME!!!
