Fumiko Orikasa

Japanese voice actor Fumiko Orikasa plays plucky yet sweet female characters on popular animated TV programs such as the long-running action-fantasy series "Bleach" and the sci-fi drama "Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood." The Tokyo-born actor first gained recognition as a contract player at the respected Japanese anime agency Atomic Monkey. After a series of lead roles on the children's animated programs "Digimon Tamers" and "Pokemon," Orikasa began tackling more teen- and young adult-oriented fare on the popular Shonen Jump branded series "One Piece" and the Naohito Takahasi-directed drama series "Figyua 17 Tsubasa & Hikaru." But the actor earned her best-loved role in 2004 when she was cast as Soul Reaper Rukia Kuchiki on the Tite Kubo-created supernatural anime series "Bleach." Orikasa continued to essay strong-willed female characters on series like "Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood" and "Hyakko," as well as the exquisitely drawn feature drama "Millennium Actress" (2001) and the comedy-adventure film "Atashin'chi the Movie" (2003).
