Mamiko Noto

Mamiko Noto (能登 麻美子, Noto Mamiko, born February 6, 1980 in Kanazawa, Ishikawa) is a Japanese actor, voice actor, and singer affiliated with Office Osawa. Married to a non-celebrity, she had her first child on February 1, 2019.

Noto attended Koshōmachi Junior High School and Hokuriku Gakuin High School for her secondary education. Despite being part of the drama club at the time, she initially wanted to take up nursing. But after being moved by a theater company's production during her last year of high school, she decided to pursue a career in acting. She enrolled in Yoyogi Animation Academy for one year and later became a trainee in her current agency. The part-time jobs she has done to support herself include being a landscape photographer's assistant, a coffee shop server, and a ryokan waitress.

A few of her interests are cooking and ikebana. She is a fan of the Hiroshima Toyo Carp. Being close with fellow voice actors Ayako Kawasumi and Nana Mizuki, Noto usually co-stars in many of the works the former appears in and enjoys going to hot springs with the latter from time to time. She also has her fair share of dedicated fans whom at one point got angry at Tetsuya Kakihara for implying he and Noto were a couple.

Noto's soft vocal pitch is so distinct that not many voice actors have been able to mimic it. She is known for her cute or creepy character performances, but can adapt to any role given to her. Having accumulated many roles throughout her career, she has voiced Rin in Inuyasha, Sayoko Mishima in the ''Ah! My Goddess! TV series, and Oichi in the Sengoku Basara'' series.
