Voice actress Hikari Yono died of an undisclosed illness on November 15. She was 46 years old. Her family revealed her death through Twitter on Friday, stating that she lived her life loving voice work, and thanking those who supported her.

Yono was a graduate of Nihon University College of Art. Her roles in anime included Samui in Naruto: Shippuuden, Kaolinite in Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon Crystal Season III, and Yoshino Uehara in Gantz.

She also worked as a television narrator and voice actress for Japanese dubs of foreign films and television, and was active until she fell ill this spring. She narrated Fuji TV's Chokugeki LIVE Goody! (GOODY! GOOD DAY!) and dubbed voices for the live-action films Catch Me If You Can, The Devil Wears Prada, The Grand Budapest Hotel, and Wonder Woman, among others.

RIP.

Why do most VA seem to die so young?
You are not your body, you are your brain, the "self" that emerges from within it.

bro she was already in a better place, it's not like she was in a depression or something. But her soul is at rest now which is better.

Why do people always talk about death as a 'better place'? You don't know that.

Yeah, it's kinda weird. This is why I mostly don't comment on death news. I don't know anything about it.
I do know that it's sad for the people she left behind but beyond that, I don't know.
