Doraemon, Danganronpa Voice Actress Nobuyo Ōyama Dies at 90

Talent agency Actors Seven announced on Friday that Nobuyo Ōyama (real name Nobuyo Yamashita), who was the original voice actress for the titular Doraemon in the Doraemon franchise, died on September 29 of senility.

She continued voice acting work later in 2015, and her life inspired the dramatized television special “Zutto Issho da yo ~Seiyū・Oyama Nobuyo Monogatari~” (Together for a Long Time: The Story of Voice Actress Nobuyo Ōyama) in December 2015.

She also voiced Kappei Jin in Muteki Chōjin Zambot 3, as well as the titular character in Hazedon.
