Kujira
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kujira (くじら?) (real name Wakako Matsumoto (松本 和香子 Matsumoto Wakako?)) is a seiyū, or voice actor, born on April 1, 1961 in Tokyo, Japan. She is employed by 81 Produce. Veteran seiyū Chiba Shigeru, another member of 81 Produce, gave Kujira her nickname (meaning "whale").
Kujira's voice is described as hoarse and androgynous. Thus, many of her characters are middle-aged. Her best-known roles are Otose of Gintama and Orochimaru, an antagonist of Naruto.
