Satomi Arai



"YES. WE. CAN!"

Satomi Arai is a seiyu born in Chiba in 1980, probably best known as the Ninja Maid Sayoko in Code Geass and Kuroko Shirai in To Aru Majutsu no Index. Notable for her distinctly deep, nasally yet mature voice. Seems to be voicing a lot of pervy or odd girls recently.

On Friday the 30th of March 2012 she suddenly reveals that she has already been married for 4 years with a 21 month old son. Ms Arai sites that timing and "various circumstances" prevented her from breaking the news earlier; which is likely a polite way of saying that she needed to dodge the Yoko Oh No and intense Fan Dumb that would likely arise thanks to the popularity of her Star-Making Role Kuroko.
