Noriko Hidaka

Hidaka is credited among the voice talent behind Toei Animation's One Piece, though the specific character she took on is not documented in the records available. Gaps like this are typical for a show that has run for decades and regularly brings in established performers for smaller or guest parts that go unlisted outside specialist databases. Her presence on the franchise sits well outside the string of lead roles that define most of her career.

Working under her stage name since the mid-1980s, Hidaka anchored several of anime's most enduring characters, including Akane Tendo on Ranma 1/2 and the pensive Near from Death Note. She voiced Satsuki, the elder daughter in Hayao Miyazaki's My Neighbor Totoro, and years earlier gave voice to Touch's female lead, Minami Asakura. Her catalog also runs through Kikyo on Inuyasha, Masumi Sera across the Detective Conan films, and, decades later, Yuki Tsukumo on Jujutsu Kaisen. Outside Japanese-language work, she has been the regular dub voice for actress Jayma Mays, covering Mays's parts in Glee and The Smurfs movies.
