But, even better than that, she&#8217;s pretty adorable herself.  Makiko Ohmoto has been voicing the pink puffball in video games ever since the original Super Smash Bros.  on the Nintendo 64 and made her series debut in Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards.  She&#8217;s played the little guy ever since, and arguably, it&#8217;s because of her voice that so many people have fallen in love with the character.<\/p>\n<p>Ohmoto appeared at yesterday&#8217;s concert, and many watching the stream were surprised.  But, within seconds, everyone was utterly charmed by her.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"object object-tweet\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" align=\"center\"><p><span lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Kirby&#8217;s VA is so precious, I love her dress. <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/H4ri6VBPHd\" target=\"_blank\">pic.twitter.com\/H4ri6VBPHd<\/a><\/span>\u2014 Ultimate |  #\u0432\u029f\u043c (@UltimaShadowX) <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/UltimaShadowX\/status\/1557671202063355904?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\">August 11, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/aside>\n<p>It&#8217;s not that surprising given Kirby&#8217;s popularity, and just how many people \u2014 young and old \u2014 enjoy mimicking the character&#8217;s cute, quirky voice.

She&#8217;s also the voice of Ness in the <strong>Smash Bros.<\/strong> series, which means you can make her two characters fight each other!  And to round off those Nintendo voice credits, she&#8217;s even voiced Viridi in Kid Icarus: Uprising.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s not an exhaustive list of her roles on Nintendo games, but she&#8217;s had plenty of other noticeable credits throughout her career.  She&#8217;s been the long-time voice of Makino from the anime <strong>One Piece<\/strong>and she&#8217;s also had a reoccurring role in the <strong>Samurai Warriors<\/strong> and the <strong>Warriors Orochi<\/strong> crossover games.  But, most surprisingly, she&#8217;s the voice of Sayaka Maizono from Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc.<\/p>\n<p>She&#8217;s a talent and a star, and everyone loves her.
