Notes

• Appeared as a presenter in the live-action film adaptation of the novel Battle Royale (2000)
• In September 2007, a thyroid condition called Grave's Disease nearly sidetracked her voice-acting career, as described in her blog entry. Despite this debilitating disease, miraculously "Miyamoo" was able to make a voice-acting comeback for Evangelion 2.0 and the remaining installments of Rebuild of Evangelion.
