Otakon announces famous seiyuu, Kikuko Inoue will be at the con. Otakon is the largest east-coast anime convention in the USA, will take place in July, in Baltimore, MD.

Inoue is perhaps best known for portraying goddess Belldandy in the perennially-popular Oh My Goddess. Indeed, she is so identified with that character that later chapters of the manga adapted the character’s speaking style to Inoue’s. The role is quite similar to one of her earlier roles, that of older sister Kasume Tendou in Ranma ½. Inoue’s voice lends itself to reserved, mature, domestic, and regal characters. Her characters are frequently islands of calm and sanity amidst the rampant chaos. Other prominent roles have included Rune Venus in El-Hazard and Kazami Mizuho in Onegai Teacher. In both cases, she played a strong but compassionate leader. She’s also taken villainous turns, such as Alv in Kiddy Grade and Lust in Fullmetal Alchemist.
