Having a headache today, couldn’t think of a particular seiyuu I want to feature. I finally decided to go along with the anime series Hayate no Gotoku(as I’m watching Season 1 now, better late than never =D), and yes, Rie Tanaka voices Maria the maid O_O. I didn’t know that!

Name: 田中 理恵
Country: Sapporo, Hokkaido, Japan
Birthday: 1979年1月03日
Height: 162cm
Blood Type: B

You might know her from..[ANN]:

- Asura Cryin’ (TV) as Shuri Kurosaki
- CANAAN (TV) as Liang Qi
- Chobits (TV) as Chii
- Full Metal Panic? Fumoffu (TV) as Ren Mikihara
- Hatsukoi Limited (TV) as Misaki Yamamoto
- Hayate the Combat Butler (TV) as Maria
- Mobile Suit Gundam Seed (TV) as Lacus Clyne

- Stellvia (TV) as Akira Kayama
- Strike Witches (TV) as Minna-Dietlinde Wilcke

- Toradora! (TV) as Yuri Koigakubo
She’s seriously in a lot of anime which I didn’t really noticed o.o. My first anime I watched which had her was the Gundam Seed series, whereby she voiced Lacus Clyne. Woohoo singing songtress! I heard her songs in the Gundam Seed series, I love the songs a lot. It was probably because of her that I started my journey to listening on Jpop. Lol.

Tanaka has released two albums: 24 Wishes and Garnet, but didn’t gain much success.
So she’s not really well known despite being the songstress in Gundam Seed unlike a certain singer I know who rose to fame after singing for 1 anime >_> *cough*. Well never mind, I think I actually bought the Gundam Seed singles. I need to dig them out. =D.

She’s voicing the crazy woman, Liang Qi in CANAAN >_>. Omg. I didn’t know that. She’s doing Octavia in Tears to Tiara though. One of my fave anime characters! ^^

I’ve never been a huge fan of her’s~
But I have to say~ She must have an interesting personality to be able to voice such a large array of different characters.

:( zen. what’s this nonsense. :( haha
Ah, Rie Tanaka. She’s not as good as Rie Kugimiya, but she does the voice for Maria, who is the best character in Hayate no Gotoku.
never took notice of her until her turn as Liang Qi in Canaan – one of the best psychos in recent history =p
Suigintou and Maria is the 2 most highlighted role I know her best. :)
Credit for her role as Akira Kayama in Stellvia as well. U need to give the series a try Zen. U will love it. :D
I didn’t know she voiced Oren-san.
Am I right in saying that her role as Tomoe is the most crazy one so far?
she voice feel so well
