- - - - - - - - - ->  Horie Yui -- Tohru

Tohru, our dearest main character, is played by Horie Yui. You don't hear about Horie Yui a lot in other anime, but she's done quite a few other roles. She was born on September 20th, 1976 in Tokyo and her blood type is B. Doesn't she look like Tohru? Sometimes seiyuu have this thing where they look like the character they play. Look at that picture. That is definitely Tohru right there. I swear I'm not crazy. ¬¬ Her other roles include:

  • Kurono (Ah! Megami-sama movie)
  • Galatea (Bubble Gum Crisis Tokyo 2040)
  • Naru (Love Hina)
  • Multi & other various roles (To Heart)
  • Fujimaya Aya (Weiss Kreuz)

- - - - - - - - - ->  Hisakawa Aya -- Yuki

Yuki is played by the ever-popular and versatile Hisakawa Aya! She's one of my favorite seiyuu and plays other awesome characters from great series, like Kero-chan from CCS (whose personality is contrastingly different that Yuki). Yes, Yuki is played by a woman. Anime males are sometimes played by women, especially when they're somewhat feminine (which Yuki definitely is). Hisakawa was born on November 12th, 1968 in Osaka! Some of her other roles are:

  • Skuld (Ah! Megami-sama!)
  • Kero-chan (Card Captor Sakura)
  • Amara Suu (Love Hina)
  • Yohko (Devil Hunter Yohko)
  • Arimi (Marmalade Boy)
  • Ami/Sailormercury (Bishoujo Senshi Sailormoon)
  • Miki (Shoujo Kakumei Utena)
  • Tomoko (To Heart)
  • Tatiana Diward (Slayers Excellent)
  • Taata (Magic Knights Rayearth)
  • Yuko (Here is Greenwood)

 - - - - - - - - - ->  Okiayu Ryoutarou -- Shigure

Shigure is played by Okiayu Ryoutarou, who has been in an incredible amount of series, whether they be more prominent roles, or smaller roles.

 - - - - - - - - - ->  Suyama Akio -- Hatsuharu

Hatsuharu is played by Suyama Akio. He suits Hatsuharu well; both his good and bad side. Suyama has a great way of being able to switch from one side of Hatsuharu's nature to the other in an instant. Suyama Akio was born on July 8th in Osaka and his blood type is O. Other roles he's played are:

  • Gabil & Physica (Macross 7)

 - - - - - - - - - ->  Imai Yuka -- Arisa

Unlike Tohru's seiyuu, Arisa's seiyuu looks absolutely nothing like her. :P Compare this to the Arisa with shoulder-length blonde hair. Imai Yuka was born on September 19th, 1970 in Shizuoka and her blood type is O. Some of her other roles include:

 - - - - - - - - - ->  Minami Omi -- Hanajima Megumi

Megumi is Hanajima's little brother. Again, this is seen quite a lot throughout Fruits Basket: he's a male character played by a female actress. :P This is because he's a younger child and usually they're played by females rather than males. Minami Omi was born on July 13th in Tokyo and her blood type is B. Other roles include:

  • Minagawa Takurou (Di Gi Charat)
  • Akira (CLAMP Campus Detectives)

 - - - - - - - - - ->  Takahashi Miki -- Mine

For those of you that don't remember, Mine is the assistant who worked at Ayame's store, AYAME. Yes, she's an extremely small role. :P But isn't Takahashi Miki so puretty? Look at that picture! Anyhow, Takahashi Miki was born on September 18th, 1961 in Tokyo and her blood type is O. She doesn't have many major roles but they include:

  • Midou Tomoe (Battle Athletess Dai Undoukai)
