You Inoue

井上瑤

Ms. You Inoue passed away on February 28, 2003, at 9:29 a.m. Her physical condition deteriorated due to cancer during the winter of 2001. She underwent an operation sometime in 2002 and was rehospitalized in December of that year. Her condition changed suddenly in the latter part of February 2003, and she died on February 28 from cancer (lung edema) at the age of 56. A private funeral, attended only by family and close friends, was held in Tokyo on March 6. We pray for her happiness in the next world...
Ms. Inoue was a seiyuu whose voice talents spanned a considerable range. Consider Ran from Urusei Yatsura, a role that required Ms. Inoue to provide a soft, cutesy voice when Ran was being coy, and moments later build up to a powerful, angry voice with an edge to it. Ms. Inoue could also perform the serious, mature voice of Kanuka from Patlabor, and give an edge of excitement at the right moment for comedic or dramatic effect. The ultimate example of Ms. Inoue's talents is Yuzuha in the second Tenchi Muyo movie. Yuzuha is a very emotional character and provided quite an opportunity for Ms. Inoue to demonstrate her voice acting ability.
