Linda Yamamoto
Description
Linda Yamamoto is a Japanese singer, model, and actress who had a brief foray into voice acting in the mid-1970s. Her primary and most recognized career spans music and television, where she achieved significant fame as a popular singer and television personality. She was born on March 4, 1951, in Kitakyushu, Japan.
Yamamoto's sole confirmed voice acting credit is from 1974, when she provided the speaking and singing voice for the character of Princess Margaret in the animated film Jack and the Beanstalk, directed by Gisaburo Sugii. This performance represents a brief turn in voice acting, distinct from her extensive live-action roles, such as her portrayal of the character Mari in the original 1971 Kamen Rider television series.
Her contribution to anime is therefore limited to this single, notable role in a feature film. While she has no other major voice acting credits, her broader career as an entertainer has intersected with the world of anime in other ways. In the 1990s, her popularity experienced a revival in part because the main character in the popular anime series Chibi Maruko-chan would imitate her songs and dance routines. Furthermore, her hit song Neraiuchi has been featured in the anime Ace of Diamond.
