You know, every time I watch the series, I always wonder who has lent his voice to Naruto Uzumaki.
Well, did you know that the voice of Naruto, in Naruto Shippuden, is lent by a she and not a he?
I went online to check the fact and to my surprise, I found out the info to be true.
Ms. Junko Takeuchi, is a popular voice-over artist from Saitama, Japan and is known to lend her voice to young male anime characters in a very unique way.
Sources revealed that she will be flying to New York for the sixth annual New York Anime Fest. The festival is scheduled from October 13-16, 2011.
The New York Anime Fest is a part of the popular NYCC (New York Comic Con). Each year, NYCC attracts scores of comic, films and anime devotees, from across the world.
I can, without a doubt, call the festival the Mecca of anime and comic. Wouldn’t you?
The New York Anime festival focuses on manga, anime and Japanese pop culture. Viz Media invited Junko Takeuchi, as it completed 25 years as Comic Con’s panelist. Junko will take part in a panel and will talk about the film. She will also spend time with the fans and sign out autographs.
The feature film, Naruto Shippuden The Movie: Bonds, is about a group of flying ninjas, who arrive at the Hidden Leaf Village, only to bushwhack it and unleash brutal carnage. They are Sky Ninjas from the Land of Sky; their nation was once destroyed by the Hidden Leaf Village. Naruto and his friend set off to put an end to all this and save their village.
Lance Fenstermann, the show manager of NYCC and NYAF expressed how honored he is that Ms. Jenki Takeuchi will be a part of this year’s comic con and I agree with him completely!
Go Jenki go!
