Line 46:
Any ''one'' of these roles would be a [[Star-Making Role|career-making milestone]] for a voice actress, but as a [[Man of a Thousand Voices|Woman Of A Thousand Voices]], Hayashibara has had the talent and skill to win that kind of part again and again. She is such a major figure in anime that the character of Megumi Reinard in ''[[Martian Successor Nadesico]]'' was actually based on her, partly as parody and partly as tribute. She is arguably one of the few seiyuu who isn't [[Pigeonholed Voice Actor|set in a role]]. Her huge number of voice credits have invited comparision to [[Mel Blanc]], [[June Foray]], and [[Frank Welker]] in American Animation.
 
When she has a part in an anime, she frequently performs its [[Anime Theme Song|theme song]]; she is also in demand to record themes for other animesanime as well, such as "Treat or Goblins" from ''[[AbenobashiMagical MahouShopping ShoutengaiArcade Abenobashi]]'' and the Achika version of "Alchemy of Love", the theme song for the ''[[Tenchi Universe]]'' film, ''Tenchi Muyo! in Love''.
 
As the seiyuu for girl-type Ranma in ''[[Ranma ½]]'', she has been a part of the singing group DoCo, and has participated in other anime-related "supergroups" as well.
Line 64:
* [[Hot Mom]]
* [[Only One Name]]: It is not uncommon to find her credited only as "Megumi".
* [[Surprisingly Good English]]: Shown in an omake for ''[[Saber Marionette J]]'', where she spoke English, quickly and grammatically-correctly, for a half-minute before switching to Japanese. She also sings in English, Hip-Hop style, in "Treat or Goblins", the theme to ''[[AbenobashiMagical MahouShopping ShoutengaiArcade Abenobashi]]''.
* [[Man of a Thousand Voices|Woman Ofof Aa Thousand Voices]]: And ''how''. This is the lady whose voice can range from [[Genki Girl|hyperactive]] to plain [[Emotionless Girl|emotionless]] and sometimes even the cold, harsh one. Oh? And her [[Hot-Blooded]] voice is also a hearing to behold. (Hell, she first got into seiyuu acting because she gave out an annoyed-as-hell voice because shopping didn't go her way).
