CATDOLL: Xiaozhi's Pikachu CV reveals the dubbing process of "Pokemon"

Recently, the voice actors of Ash and Pikachu in the famous Japanese animation "Pokémon" accepted an interview with the media, and answered questions about their experience in dubbing this work.

This is an interview with Satoshi's voice actor, Matsumoto Rika, and Pikachu's voice actor, Otani Ikue. In the interview, Matsumoto said that she still remembers the situation when she dubbed the first episode, and felt that Satoshi was very similar to her when she was a child, so she could naturally play the role well just by recalling her childhood. She also mentioned that she once recorded a voice for a child in a hospital bed, and the unconscious child actually woke up, which made her feel that she had a great responsibility.

As for Otani Ikue, she was also filled with emotion. She said that when she first dubbed, she was asked to "just say Pika Pika". And at that time, the script only said "Pika" and "Pikachu", so if she didn't show her acting skills in these short lines, it would be meaningless. In addition, she also plays the games in the work, in order to get the same mood as a child, so on the one hand it is playing, and on the other hand it also has the meaning of work.

Many netizens commented on this: "I've heard before that Pikachu was supposed to speak human language, just like Meowth. But because Otani's acting was so great, Pikachu's pronunciation was used all the time." "Because even in the overseas version, Pikachu's voice was not changed. So in a sense, Otani is also the world's most famous voice actor." "The elf can actually wake up a comatose child... so touching!"
