Emiko Tsukada is a Japanese voice actress born on August 13, 1949, in Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan. She worked as a freelance voice actor, meaning she was not permanently affiliated with a specific talent agency. Her career has primarily focused on voice work for anime series, animated films, and Japanese dubbing of foreign films for television broadcast.
Tsukada's career includes several notable roles in classic anime from the 1970s and 1980s. In the 1973 series Casshan, she provided the voice for the character Luna Kōzuki. She had a role in the enduringly popular series Sazae-san, where she voiced multiple characters over the years, including Taiko Namino from 1979 to 2013 and the first voice of Takako Anago. Her work in the Gundam franchise includes the role of Zenna Zabi in the 1982 compilation film Mobile Suit Gundam III: Encounters in Space. She was also the voice of Roppuru's mother in the 1981 film Doraemon: Nobita's Spaceblazer.
A significant portion of Tsukada's work was in the magical girl genre. She played the recurring role of the Queen of Fenarinarsa in the 1982 television series Fairy Princess Minky Momo and later reprised the Queen in the 1985 OVA, Minky Momo: La Ronde in my Dream. Her other anime credits include roles in Obake no Q-taro (1985 series) as Setsuko Ohara, Lady Georgie, Urusei Yatsura, Time Slip 10000 Years: Prime Rose, and City Hunter.
Beyond anime, Tsukada was an active voice actor in the field of film dubbing, providing Japanese voices for numerous Western films. Her work in this area was frequently featured on Japanese television networks such as Fuji TV and TV Asahi. Some of the high-profile films for which she contributed to dubbed versions include the Home Alone series, the Die Hard series (specifically the second film), Twin Dragons, and Singin' in the Rain. While her extensive list of roles demonstrates a long and varied career, publicly available information does not detail specific recurring creative collaborations with particular directors or studios, nor does it list major industry awards or other notable achievements beyond her substantial body of performance work.
