CATDOLL: Veteran female voice actor Sakurai Satoshi announces retirement, netizens express regret

There is another regrettable news in the Japanese voice actor industry. The veteran female voice actor Sakurai Satoshi recently announced her retirement. Sakurai said that she has found it difficult to make a good voice recently. Although this is an inevitable result of aging, as a voice actor, she can no longer adapt to such changes and feels that it is time to retire. Sakurai Satoshi had a certain influence as early as the 1990s. She played Miriam Ginnace in "Macross 7" and was well received by everyone. Since then, she has also played representative roles such as Makimachi Sou in "Rurouni Kenshin", Hinari in "Gintama", and Chikusa Sakai in "Shakugan no Shana III -FINAL-".

At the same time, Sakurai also expressed his gratitude to the fans: "Over the years, I have received care and support from many people, and my heart is full of gratitude. Thank you all very much. I will also explore the next step of development in the future." It is a pity that another good voice actor has retired, but since she has made the decision, we still look forward to her better development in other fields.
