Line 44:
* Anna Kyoyama in ''[[Shaman King]]''
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 animes as well, such as "Treat or Goblins" from ''[[Abenobashi Mahou Shoutengai]]'' and the Achika version of "Alchemy of Love", the theme song for the ''Tenchi Universe'' film, ''Tenchi Muyo! in Love''.
Line 58:
Her American equivalent is [[Wendee Lee]].

* [[Enforced Method Acting]]: One of the examples of those suffering this before it was prohibited in anime. For a voice-practice of a sad voice, she's told to imagine the saddest moment in her life. Imagining how her grandma died, Megumi was left in tears even after the practice ended, surprising the instructor (at that time, [[Shigeru Chiba]]). This scene is drawn in Megumi-Toon.
* [[Expy]]: While not voiced by her, [[Martian Successor Nadesico|Megumi Reinard]] is based on her
Line 64:
* [[Hot Mom]]
* [[Man of a Thousand Voices|Woman Of A 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).
* [[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 ''[[Abenobashi Mahou Shoutengai]]''.
