Kachiko Hino
Description
Kachiko Hino, also known by her married name Kachiko Naya, is a Japanese actress and voice actor born on January 10, 1943 in Tokyo, Japan. She is affiliated with the theatre and talent agency Theatre Echo.
Hino’s voice acting career includes a number of anime television series and original video animations from the late 1970s through the 2000s. One of her earlier roles was Irma in the 1979 series Isabelle of Paris. In the 1980s, she voiced Rusa Luft in the 1983 mecha series Aura Battler Dunbine, a role she later reprised for the 1988 OVA New Story of Aura Battler DUNBINE. She also played Aoi Wakaba in the 1987 series Metal Armor Dragonar. Her other anime credits from this period include Shannon in the 1985 series Dirty Pair (known in Japan as Mahō no Tenshi Creamy Mami and its related projects) and a role as a teacher in the 1991 series The Brave of the Sun.
During the 1990s, Hino appeared in the original video animation Golgo 13: Queen Bee (1998), where she voiced the character Pamela. Her filmography from the 2000s includes a role as a landlady in the 2005 series Emma: A Victorian Romance and as the grandmother of Shinra in the 2005 series Mushishi.
In addition to her work in Japanese animation, Hino built a substantial career in foreign language dubbing, providing Japanese voices for actresses in international films and television series. Notable dubbing credits include Madam Rolanda Hooch in the Japanese dubbing of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, the voice of Judge Bertha Washington in RoboCop 3, and a role in the Japanese version of the television series 24.
Kachiko Hino was married to fellow voice actor Goro Naya, who was well known as the voice of Inspector Koichi Zenigata in the Lupin III franchise, until his death in 2013. Her contemporaries and frequent collaborators include many voice actors from the Theatre Echo agency. Based on available information, a role as Athena in the series Little Pollon could not be confirmed, though the user-provided example of Yvonne in Golgo 13 aligns with her known filmography.
