Michiko Nomura (野村 道子, Nomura Michiko; born March 31, 1938[9] in Yokohama, Kanagawa) is a Japanese actress, voice actress, and sōdanyaku.[5]

She is best known for her roles as Shizuka Minamoto in Doraemon, Maya the Bee in The Adventures of Maya the Bee, and Wakame Isono in Sazae-san.[9][10]

Biography

Early years

Nomura was born in Yokohama, Kanagawa Prefecture on March 31, 1938.[11] She was adopted by relatives living in Osaka Prefecture when she was two years old.[12]

As the war intensified, Nomura and her family evacuated over to Gifu Prefecture.[12] Once the war came to an end, she returned back home. Because she was the only one with a different surname, she thought her younger siblings were merely relatives.[12]

From an early age, Nomura loved radio dramas and wanted to pursue a career in radio dramas and voice acting. During her time at Kanagawa Gakuen Junior and Senior High School,[13] she joined their drama club, with her coaches being Yoshiya Nemoto and Naoki Sugiura.[14]

In her third year of high school, Nomura applied for a theater company established by the Tokyo Announcement Academy, but was rejected due to her young age, though got heavily encouraged to join the acting training department, so started attending the academy's acting department every Sunday.[15]

Once Nomura graduated from training school, she appeared on programs by the producer who instructed her. At the beginning of her career, she usually worked as an actress on commercials and TV dramas. Initially, when she was in her early twenities, she passed the Fuji TV weathercaster audition and became their first weather girl, but since the weather forecast was done every morning, she was unable to make time to film for live-action dramas, and her voice acting jobs grew. She officially began working in the voice acting industry three to four years after she started her career in acting.[16] By her early twenties, Nomura would often show her face, and since the weather forecast ended at 8:00am, she was able to do other work like dubbing songs used in commercials, acting in television commercials, and dubbing for foreign films afterwards.

Personal life

In 1973, Nomura married Kenji Utsumi. She met Utsumi while on Speed Racer[14] and their wedding ceremony took place at a white church in Hawaii, USA, with Tadashi Nakamura and his wife serving as their matchmakers.[6] They were married for nearly 40 years until his death in 2013.[17]

In 1976, Nomura was selected to replace Yoshiko Yamamoto as the voice of Wakame Isono in Sazae-san, and in 1978, Nomura was cast to voice Nobita's love interest and closest friend Shizuka Minamoto in Doraemon, which premiered in April the following year. Both Wakame and Shizuka were well known characters, so Nomura's voice became widely known with Japanese audiences.[18]

In regards to voicing both iconic characters, she once said, "Wakame-chan in "Sazae-san" was a difficult role. If you make it too much, it will stand out, and if you only act naturally, it won't sound childish, so you also need to be cute. The more I did it, the more difficult it felt. I wonder if Shizuka's voice was a good match. It was a role I was good at, so it was easy to play, and I was able to really dig deep and show various sides. Someone was surprised the other day and asked me "Wakame-chan and Shizuka-chan were the same voice actor?" As a voice actor, I was like, "I did it!""[19]

After Nomura had previously worked with the Sannoh Theatre Company, Kindai Gekijo Theatre Company, Tokyo Actor's Consumer's Cooperative Society, T.A.P. and Aoni Production,[20] she joined her husband's company Ken Production in 1984 in order to help operations. At the time, there were only seven people in the company and they were called the "Seven Samurai".[21]

In 2005, Nomura decided to step down from the role of Wakame on Sazae-san in order to focus on production work.[21] Around the same time, she also stepped down from the role of Shizuka on Doraemon due to the anime's transition to a reboot with a new voice cast.[18] She was succeeded by Makoto Tsumura in Sazae-san and Yumi Kakazu in Doraemon that same year.

Current activity

In 2005, she received the Rikiya Tayama Award at the 14th Japan Movie Critics Awards along her Doraemon co-stars Nobuyo Ōyama, Noriko Ohara, Kazuya Tatekabe, and Kaneta Kimotsuki. In November 2006, they received a Special Award at the 11th Animation Kobe[22] and in March 2007, they received the 3rd Achievement Award at the Tokyo International Anime Fair 2007.[23]

In 2009, Nomura voiced the Disemboweled Tiger in Kämpfer, her first anime voice acting role in four years since leaving Doraemon and Sazae-san. In the first episode, Nomura herself appears in a magazine alongside co-star Yukari Tamura and in the eleventh episode, she co-stars alongside her husband Kenji Utsumi as a married couple for the first time in years.[24]

In 2016, she received the Merit/Achievement Award at the 10th Seiyu Awards alongside Sachiko Chijimatsu and Tadashi Nakamura.[25]

In 2023, she received the Commissioner for Cultural Affairs' Award.[26]

Personality

Her voice range is mezzo-soprano.[27]

In her early twenties, Nomura was mostly hired to voice child characters, as the idea was that someone her age at that time could voice children. When she started voice acting, she was often cast to voice young characters. She voiced boy characters in shows such as the first series of Perman and Serendipity the Pink Dragon, but after that started voicing girl characters more often. Nomura admitted that she preferred voicing young boys, as she felt like young girl roles weren't that interesting to her.[16]

Nomura was often cast in quiet character roles, the worst of which was her role in the first Babel II film, in which behind the scenes she was told that she had no real talent.[16]

Her late husband was Kenji Utsumi, who was also a voice actor and the former CEO of Ken Production. They have a son.

During her time voicing Shizuka on Doraemon, Nomura felt a sense of tension and tried to stay young so that Shizuka wouldn't sound old. In the Doraemon manga, Shizuka referred to Nobita as either "You" (あんた), "Nobi-chan" (のびちゃん), or "Nobita-kun" (のび太君) interchangeably, but Nomura decided to have Shizuka refer to him as "Nobita-san" (のび太さん) in the anime.[Note 1] In response, the manga unified to have Shizuka refer to Nobita as "Nobita-san" as a reverse import from the anime, and has been kept as part of Shizuka's character in the 2005 anime.

Nomura was friends with Nobuyo Ōyama and Noriko Ohara, and they went on overseas trips during their time on the Doraemon anime together.[28][29][30]

Since she left the Doraemon franchise along the other voice actors in 2005, Kazuya Tatekabe, who voiced Gian, died in June 2015,[31] Kaneta Kimotsuki, who voiced Suneo, died in October 2016,[32] and Noriko Ohara, who voiced Nobita, died in July 2024.[33] After Nobuyo Ōyama, who voiced Doraemon, died in September 2024,[34] Nomura is currently the last surviving regular cast member of the 1979 to 2005 Doraemon television series.[35][36][37]

Nomura's hobbies are dancing, tai chi,[38] aerobics, and wearing kimonos.[39] She is a fan of the Hanshin Tigers. In a post-recording interview for Kämpfer, she said that when she was initially offered to voice for the show, she accepted because she was a fan of the team.[40]

Notes

  1. ↑ Nomura didn't have Shizuka refer to him "Nobita-san" consistently from the beginning, as she had Shizuka refer to Nobita as "Nobita-kun" in early episodes of the 1979 anime and in the first three Doraemon movies, Doraemon: Nobita's Dinosaur, Doraemon: The Record of Nobita's Spaceblazer, and Doraemon: Nobita and the Haunts of Evil, Shizuka referred to Nobita as "Nobita-kun". It wasn't until Doraemon: Nobita and the Castle of the Undersea Devil that Shizuka starts referring to Nobita as "Nobita-san" in the film series.
