Noriko Nagai (永井 範子 Nagai Noriko?, née Itō (伊東), born May 31, 1962), better known by the stage name of Noriko Hidaka (日高 のり子 Hidaka Noriko?), is a Japanese voice actress.[1] Hidaka is most known for the roles of Minami Asakura (Touch), Mikage Matsunaga (Miracle Girls), Akane Tendo (Ranma ½), Satsuki Kusakabe (My Neighbor Totoro), Near (Death Note), Seta Sōjirō (Rurouni Kenshin), Jean Roque Raltique (Nadia: The Secret of Blue Water), Kikyo (Inuyasha), and Noriko Takaya (Gunbuster).

Hidaka was born in the Kudan area of Chiyoda, Tokyo, Japan,[1] where she attended Fujimi Elementary School. Her parents owned a Western-style clothing store named "Tailor Itō".

Career

Hidaka began her career as an idol star, but switched to voice acting, and was employed by the talent management firm 81 Produce. Hidaka used to use the kanji variant 日髙 (note that the second kanji is different). She switched to the current usage (日高) around 1995 when she found that it was written that way already on many things and after friends recommended the kanji with the lower stroke count. Her fans have given her the affectionate name "Nonko" (ノン子).

In 1982, during her time as an idol star, Noriko appeared in a Japanese TV commercial for Nivea skin milk. She has also done voice-over commercials for programs and games, in which she plays a role, such as 3rd Super Robot Wars Alpha: To the End of the Galaxy.[2]
