[[Emiri Katou]] is a [[Seiyuu]] born in 1983. Perhaps her most famous role is of the [[Tsundere]] and [[Straight Man|straight girl]] Kagami Hiiragi of ''[[Lucky Star (Anime)|Lucky Star]]'', for which she won the Best New Seiyuu award at the second annual Seiyuu Awards. (Fittingly, her co-[[Stealth Pun|star]] [[Aya Hirano]] had won the previous year.)
 
Garnered a little bit of controversy on the Internets in 2008 [http://www.sankakucomplex.com/2008/07/16/lucky-star-seiyuu-flies-red-banner for giving an interview to a Communist-affiliated magazine].
 
She hasn't done much work with her "sister" [[Kaori Fukuhara]] (''Lucky Star'''s Tsukasa), but the two are fittingly good friends, and in 2010 did some musical jam sessions together with Emiri on drums and Kaori on bass. (Apparently both used to play those respective instruments in high school.) In the [[Fall 2011 Anime Season]], they both starred on [http://www.animenewsnetwork.comcc/news/2011-09-05/experimental-ad-lib-anime-kenkyusho-to-air-in-october Ad-Lib Anime Laboratory], an [[Exactly What It Says Onon the Tin|experimental series in which the dialog was ad-libbed and recorded first]], with the animation produced around it subsequently.
 
She also used to have...umm, [[British Teeth|rather poorly-aligned teeth]]; and when some "[[Fan Dumb|fans]]" mocked her for it quite harshly, ''[[Tear Jerker|she actually considered quitting as a seiyuu]]''. (Note how she's trying not to show her teeth in that photo.) [http://www.sankakucomplex.com/2011/08/26/seiyuu-fans-weep-as-emiri-kato-can-finally-smile-again/ She rectified this] in 2010-11 by getting some extensive orthodontic work, but it cost her a pretty yen, [[The Woobie|and all because her "fans" on 2Chan pushed her into it]].
 
The poor lady -- a fan of the [[Magical Girl]] genre -- [[Heroic BSOD|cried hard]] when she realized [[Faux Affably Evil|what kind of character]] her role in ''[[Puella Magi Madoka Magica (Anime)|Puella Magi Madoka Magica]]'' is. Admittedly, that information was withheld by [[Trolling Creator|Gen Urobuchi]]. [[Memetic Mutation|Goddamnit Urobutcher]]. [[Plucky Girl|Despite all that, Emiri still did her job admirably and once the anime concluded, considers all of the hatred for Kyubey to be praises for her]].
 
Thanks to that, she has won [http://www.animenewsnetwork.comcc/news/2012-03-01/6th-annual-seiyu-awards-winners-announced the 6th annual seiyuu awards] for Best Supporting Character by, [[Never Live It Down|you guessed it]], Kyuubei.
