I could not help making this blog post as I stumbled upon a YouTube video showing Aya Hirano voicing Pikachu.

To my disbelief, she looked exactly like (P)Stork. Wheee... another new finding a day! ^o^

Below is the video:

Shocking right?

Sounds nothing like Pikachu. Unless that's how the japanese version of pikachu sounds like. If it does, then it crushed my hopes and dreams.

No, Aya Hirano is not actually Pikachu's voice actress. Ikue Otani is, and her voice acting is used in both the Japanese and the English anime.

Since Stork didn't have sex with most of the members of a band that he was in, I would say that he is very different from Hirano Aya.

That said, I have enjoyed her VA work very much. I don't think she's much of a singer though >_>

Didn't she pass away? I'm pretty sure I read that somewhere.

lolol this is true. the days I argued with Aya Hirano fanboys about who was a better singer: her or Nana Mizuki...still can't believe those kids even began to compare the two -_- And then there was this atrocity. Highest stage of her singing career I suppose, being allowed to duet with the goddess.

I was referring to the fact that this high-pitched Pikachu voice is heard and used in Japan, though she's not actually the voice actor for it.

I see. I thought you were responding to 0123456789 and his question about whether this is Pikachu's voice actress in Japan, and meant to clarify that there is no distinction. Pikachu sounds the same in Japan as he does everywhere else; they use the same recording and voice actress for both the Japanese and English animes.
