 The seiyuu talent agency Aoni Production has announced that Miyuki Sawashiro has joined its roster effective August 1. She had been affiliated with Mausu Promotion since debuting in 1999 as Petit Charat in Di Gi Charat. Sawashiro never attended voice actor training school, entering the industry after winning the Special Jury Prize in an audition for Di Gi Charat. At the time, she was still in the second year of middle school.Sawashiro went on to become one of the most prolific seiyuu in the industry today. Her roles include Mine Fujiko in recent installments of the Lupin III series, Ayane Yano in Kimi ni Todoke, Kurapika in the 2011 remake of Hunter × Hunter, and Celty Sturluson in Durarara!!. She has won the Seiyuu Awards for Best Supporting Actress (2009 and 2015), Best Actress (2010), and the Overseas Fan Award (2011). Last year, she announced her marriage to a man from outside the industry. Aoni Production, which was founded in 1969 and has a long history of working with Toei Animation, counts veteran seiyuu such as Toru Furuya (Mobile Suit Gundam), Masako Nozawa (Dragon Ball), and Mayumi Tanaka (One Piece) among its roster.

| I can see her voicing a Precure in the future. |
 |
| >a man from outside the industry You mean, a normal man? She's an old hag now too, for shame. |
 |
| i hope she will be included in Dragonball Super seeing that Toei is one of the company that is involved on that agency |

|
| Um............okay? |
 |
| Well, I hope the change is for good since I really like her voice (Inaban, Seo and Kanbaru <3) |
 |

| Aoni's got a great seiyuu! Sawashiro is one of my favourite seiyuu. I have been in love with her voice since her role as Shinku back in those saimoe days when it was still a big thing! I clearly remember Shinku was a semifinalist that year (I personally voted for her)! Wow! It's been 10 years already; she was still a young 20 year old seiyuu! Time flies. While I am a big fan of her roles as Kurapika, Serika and Ayane, I love her roles as a maiden-madly-in-love like Kanbaru, Celty, Inaba, Kana, Hakaze or Onna Kishi. Seriously, her panting voice as she proclaims her love is such a turn-on for me! I can easily identify her voice but I never get tired of her voice. |

| Never go to VA school but got many award and roles, wow. Good luck to her in the the new studio :) |
 |
| Good for her. |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| The people calling her an old hag are the people she'd get her bodyguard to suplex for so much as looking at her so I guess it evens out. (ツ)_/¯ Anyways I like her voice she's talented. Good luck to her. |
 |
| Does it affect her future roles somehow or something? I don't really know much about the seiyuu world. Nice to know these things I didn't know about the queen, though. <3 |
 |
| Is that why she just voiced the narrator in RnY this season? That way she doesn't have anything more than a 30sec speech to do for the whole anime so she doesn't have anything more to do? I was really hoping to see her as Mora Chester's seiyuu so I was a bit disappointed to see her as simply a 30sec narrator in the episode 1-2 instead. But if that's for somethign like this, can't be helped. Sawashiro never attended voice actor training school, Now that's crazy... O_o |
 |
| Considering this, I expect her to be extra extra active now if that's possible. Superfluous active because I always seem to see Aoni VAs everywhere I look (program-wise). |
 |
| That's good. |
TheBasedNico said: Who the hell cares about her age? She's a solid voice actress, that's all that matters right? First Nao Toyama is a trash human being and now Miyuki Sawashiro is an old hag? Western "fans" are cringe. more like she is not marketable for "otakus" the logic..smh |
 |
| One of my favorite female Jap voice actresses!!!!! I've been craving her voice ever since I heard her as Celty in Durarara and Kurapika in Hunter xHunter. She has such as sexy and beautiful sounding voice: I can never get enough of it. Not sure if this switch will make some noticeable changes in the roles she will get in the future. |

Paulo27 said: Pffft, who cares about her age? Miyuki Sawashiro has more talent in her little toe than the average American dub voice actor has in their whole body, and that's all that mattersShe's an old hag now too, for shame. The wannabe otaku logic is strong in this one |

| As long as she's still doing VA work, it's all good. |
Paulo27 said: >a man from outside the industry You mean, a normal man? She's an old hag now too, for shame. 30yrs old, recently married, one of the best seiyuu in the industry and you say she's an old hag. What a fool and a moron you are. |
 |
| Yey, good for her. She really is great. She caught my attention playing Ayane from KnT, but was in shock that she played Kurapika. I hope she does well and is supported by the agency/company well giving her ideal roles. |
|
| She is AWESOME! |
 |
| I think shes overrated. |
 |
| Best Seiyuu ever, there is no better female voice in this world than hers, i hope she gets more works from now on since ive watched anything she did till now |
 |

| WOW talk about slow news day. Seriously, a seiyuu changing agencies is up for discussion now? |
FGAU1912 said: Hoppy said: Old hag? What have you been smoking today? She's prettier than those younger than her that I see around here. to most otaku her being married will make her unmakatbale If you are right then most otaku are wrong. Who cares? it is her life to live. She is an amazing voice actress, my favorite female voice actress to be fair, and that isn't going to change just because she switches companies… nor for her marrying a guy. People who think lives of artists belongs to them are wrong. |
 |
| Whoa, all those accolades and she never attended VA school? O.O Very impressive. She's definitely one of my favorite voice actresses. Absolutely ridiculous that some people dub her as "old." >.> |
 |
| Sawashiro won a Special Jury Prize (strange its usually awarded to movie?), audition for Di Gi Charat while in junior high. She didn't attend tech school, but I believe received guidance in Mausy (but she also attended college). I wouldn't be surprised if she was passionate about acting and excelled in art while in 2nd grad school. If you're into theater, study and yearn it, you can do it. |
