Yui Ishikawa

I'll admit it: the first time Mikasa Ackerman opened her mouth in Attack on Titan, I had no idea the woman behind that quiet, iron-spined voice was a former child actress from Hyōgo who started out in an Osaka theater troupe. That's the thing about Yui Ishikawa that gets me. She doesn't shout to sell intensity. She lowers the temperature, plants her feet, and dares you to look away, and somehow the restraint hits harder than any scream. I love that range, too: she can be soft and unguarded in an interview, then step to the mic and turn to stone. Picking up both a supporting and a leading Seiyu Award basically settles the talent question, so there's nothing for me to argue about. I just enjoy knowing one of anime's most grounded voices came out of a children's theater troupe in Osaka.
