She was so young. Also, she voiced my favourite Bleach character (Soifon). My thoughts are with her friends and family.

Very sad. I wondered why she never returned, as well.

That's so sad.... I will always remember her for her amazing work as Misuzu in Air, which is one of my favorite anime ever....

 

[Playerking]

I never really watched the Japanese episodes when she voiced the Pokedex as well as people and Pokemon, so I never got to hear her. But a death is still a terrible thing to have happen, so R.I.P and my condolences go out to her and everyone to her family and everyone that loved and cared for her.
