Tomoko Kawakami, the main voice actress for several anime series, among them my favourite anime of all time, Revolutionary Girl Utena, died yesterday after battling ovarian cancer. She was first diagnosed with this type of cancer in 2008, but continued voice work until 2011, the last year she would be alive. She died at the age of 40.

Among the highlights of her long voice acting career (all Japanese language versions):

First starring role: Utena Tenjou, for the anime series Revolutionary Girl Utena , and the film, Utena: Adolescence Mokushiroku.

Other notable roles:

Rosette Christopher, for anime series Chrono Crusade
Mariko Kurama, for anime series Elfen Lied
Satsuki Miyanoshita, for anime series Ghost Stories
