Ai Orikasa

Her real name's Kikue Orikasa, but this voice-over actor is plenty popular amongst some veterans and fans (and a singer to boot). For v/o actors to compare with Ai, look no further than Megumi Ogata and Romi Paku, due to that semi-masculine voice of hers, perfect for roles intended for teenage boys and young men. Then again, she does voice some rather sultry characters like Ryoko of Tenchi Muyo! and the Japanese dub for Jessica Rabbit in Who Framed Roger Rabbit? and voices quite a few evil women. Expect to have Yumi Touma alongside Ai in some of her works, voicing a character that's an older sibling to Ai's (Raine Sage in Tales of Symphonia and Aya Kobayashi in Super Robot Wars, for instance).

Not related in any way to Fumiko Orikasa.

 * The one-off characters Orikasa played in Detective Conan pretty much exemplified her voice acting: her semi-masculinity meant the males she played (outside her brief stint of playing Mitsuhiko when Ikue Ohtani was on leave) were mainly Ill Boys like Seiji Asou or Hiroki Sawada; while the major female character she played, Mrs. Midori Megure, is a pretty badass Japanese Delinquent.
