CATDOLL: Voice actors Ohashi Ayumu and Tanezaki Atsumi announce they have left the agency and become free agents

Just after voice actor Hibiki Yamamura opened Toritori Office, Ohashi Ayumu and Tanezaki Atsumi announced their departure from Toritori Office almost at the same time, which made everyone speculate whether the company merger was the trigger for the voice actors to leave.

Atsumi Tanezaki, who debuted in 2009, was previously affiliated with Toritori Office. She had previously played well-known roles including Mishima Risa in "Resonance of Terror" and Natsume Asako in "My Neighbor My Monster Classmate". Regarding leaving the agency this time, she expressed her gratitude for the care of the agency before, and also expressed her determination to continue to improve herself.

Ohashi Ayumu (formerly known as "Nakai Erika"), who debuted in 2005, also announced her departure from Toritori Office. She had performed impressively in works such as "Strike Witches" (Ella Ilmata Utirenan) and "Bridge to the Starry Sky" (Hoshino Ayumu). Ohashi Ayumu announced on her personal Twitter yesterday afternoon that she will leave the voice actor agency "Toritori Office" with which she has cooperated for many years and will become a freelancer. The official website also said "Please take care of us in the future."

Many netizens speculated about the voice actors' almost simultaneous announcement of leaving Toritori Office. Some people found out that Toritori Office will merge with Trias, so they wondered if this merger was the trigger. But no matter what, we hope that the voice actors can continue their dubbing career and bring more "good-sounding" works to everyone.
