MANILA, Philippines – Nobuyo Oyama, the voice actor of Doraemon — the robotic cat from the anime of the same name — died at 90.
According to a report by the Associated Press, her agency said that she died on September 29 due to natural causes. Her family held a private funeral for her.
Oyama voiced Doraemon in the anime from 1979 to 2005. She also lent her talents to the video game spin-offs of Doraemon from 1995 to 2004.
The late actress’ other projects also include Huck in the animated film Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves, as well as Monokuma in the video game and anime versions of Danganronpa.
Oyama’s death comes just months after Noriko Ohara, the voice actor behind Nobita in Doraemon, passed away at 88 years old.
The Doraemon manga was first serialized in 1969. It follows Doraemon, a robotic cat from the future who is sent to the past to help a young boy named Nobita. The anime was first aired years later, in 1973, and has gotten several spin-offs since then. – Rappler.com
