CATDOLL: Amazing ventriloquism! Mickey Mouse voice actor in Parasyte is someone else

The new TV anime "Parasyte" in October is currently attracting the attention of readers of the original work and many anime viewers. The mysterious creature Mickey in the work is voiced by the popular figure Aya Hirano, which has also triggered a lot of discussion. But in fact, Aya Hirano is not the only one who voices Mickey.

In addition to speaking, Mickey can also make various sound effects, which are performed by Rinka, a high school girl known as a ventriloquist. Using human voice to make sound effects is also a very novel attempt. Therefore, the animated version of Mickey created by Hirano Aya and Rinka is worth paying attention to.

"Parasyte" is also the first work in the history of animation to incorporate ventriloquism. The so-called ventriloquism is the skill of producing various music and even playing some songs only through the mouth without using any equipment. Rinka is also a rare female high school ventriloquist in the world, and she has top strength among the already few female population. She once won the "HUMAN BEATBOX BATTLE JAPAN 2013", and her future development is worth looking forward to.

In the main animation, Rinka is responsible for Mickey's sound effects. When Mickey makes some very oppressive movements and many cute performances, there will be some sound effects. And these sounds are created by Rinka.

In this animation produced by the veteran production company MADHOUSE, Hirano Aya's voice and Rinka's sound effects complement each other, making Mickey more charming and attracting more audience attention.

"Parasyte" (original work by Hitoshi Iwaaki) is a SF manga that was serialized in the January 1990 to February 1995 issues of "Monthly Afternoon" (published by Kodansha). The cumulative number of single-volume editions has exceeded 11 million, and it is deeply loved by readers. Although the serialization has ended for nearly 20 years, it still has a large number of fans. In the work, an unknown creature "Parasyte" that fell from the sky one day came to the earth. They invaded the human brain through the nose and ears, and parasitized on the brain to control the human body. The protagonist, high school student Shinichi Izumi, has a parasitic beast "Mickey" on his right hand, so his fate has become ups and downs. His battles and separations with other parasitic beasts have also become the biggest highlight of the work. At the same time, Hirano Aya, who is called "Captain" by everyone, will play an important role in this work. This is also her rare main role in recent years. Whether the captain can regain the trend of the year is also one of the highlights of the animation.
