Let's make this birthday one to remember.

48 years old (Born on September 20, 1976)

Happy Birthday, Hocchan! From charming us as the lovable Tohru Honda in Fruits Basket to making us laugh and blush with your unforgettable role as Naru Narusegawa in Love Hina, you've truly voiced our anime dreams into reality. Whether you're catching Pokémon or bringing Skylanders to life, your voice has been a delightful soundtrack for countless adventures.

And let's not forget—your J-pop magic with Aice5 still makes fans dance like nobody's watching (even though we totally are). May this birthday be filled with laughter louder than anime explosions and joy brighter than Pikachu’s thunderbolt. Keep shining brightly—you timeless legend!
