CAREER

Hekiru made her debut as a seiyuu in 1992. She's been around for a while now, but perhaps the most surprising thing (considering her immense popularity) is the small number of major roles she has played. There was even a six-month period in which she did not do any seiyuu work at all, between Rayearth OVA 3 and YAT 2. But in no way does that mean she was just sitting around all this time...

With the increase in her popularity and the development of her singing career, Hekiru's seiyuu work declined correspondingly. For better or for worse, though, she has yet to severe all ties with anime. At the moment, she holds one regular role in addition to singing the occasional theme song. Most of her recent anime-related works are produced by Sony.

While some may find her lack of roles saddening, by the same token we can also expect her activity as an artist to increase. Let's wish her every success in the future.
