Here it is.....


Name : Inoue Kikuko.  Her student number in primary school,
       junior high school, and high school are all in single
       digit
Alias : Onee-chan.  She is actually the sister of a 2 daughter
        family.  During her voicing of the role of Kasumi
        onee-chan in the anime Ranma 1/2, Hidaka Noriko started
        to call her "onee-chan" during the off hours.  Others
        including those who are older than Kikuko follow suit.
        Kikuko has wanted to be an "onee-chan" since her childhood,
        so she was happy when the fans also called her onee-chan.
Birthday : 09.25.  Her favorite present is "letter with love".
Age : 17.  Around 3 years ago, she changed from introducing
      herself as "16 years old Inoue Kikuko" to "17 years old
      Inoue Kikuko".  Once she was co-hosting a radio show with
      the then real 17 years old Yamamoto Maria, featuring both
      host as "17".  After Maria grew up to 18, Kikuko decided
      to retain her age as 17.
Occupation : Seiyuu.  After graduating from college, she got
             a teacher's license and was teaching at a junior
             high school.  however, she faced great difficulties
             during her teaching there.  One day, after watching
             the re-run of an old TV anime Attack No.1, she was
             moved by the seiyuu work, and subsequently applied
             for a place in a seiyuu school.
Representative work : No doubt, her representative work must be
                      Belldandy of Ah! Megami-sama.  Kikuko has
                      the rare talent of getting the character
                      she voice to merge with her own character.
                      After Belldandy meeting her seiyuu Inoue
                      Kikuko, her character has been Kikuko-lised.
Character : Healing type "boke".  She is the pioneer of the "boke"
            character in female seiyuu.  However, she cannot voice
            super-boke characters.  Currently, there is a type of
            anime/game characters "Inoue Kikuko-like characters",
            that is, pure and innocent princesses with a little
            "boke".  The origin of this type of characters is
            Kasumi onee-chan of Ranma 1/2, which was wholly
            digested by Onee-chan and became part of her.
            ["boke" eas difficult to translate, something like
             a person not getting clues.  -Ed.]
Sports good at : Swimming
Sports not good at : Everything other than swimming
Setup timer recording in a VCR : Cannot
PC : Know nothing
Internet : Interested, but only look at other people browsing
Email : Surprisingly, can manage i-mode prefectly
Doing imitation : Particularly good at imitating Tange Sakura
Karaoke : One of her farvrite activity.  Good at Pinky Lady
          (with gestures), Cutie Honey (with gestures), Candy
          Candy, Anpanman, etc.
Candies : Likes all kinds of candies, especially Chocolate.
          You might not even think of the combination of
          Chocolate and Banana, but this combination can
          rival the combination of Onee-chan and Hisakawa Aya.
Character : Very gentle.  She might show her temper to someone 
            very close to her, but the temper would be milder 
            than those kindergardeners'.
Memory : Not very good
Calculation : Her weak point.  Cannot handle 9X9 multiplication 
              table entries after 5.  
Brain Processing Power : Fearfully fast.  Startled many people.
                         When there is some happening on stage, 
                         she can follow up that happening and 
                         makes other people laugh.  You can say
                         she is witful.
Special ability : Composing songs and writting song lyrics.  You  
                  cannot imagine someone in the world can do 
                  these 2 things so effortlessly.  Of course she
                  might turn up a few not so good songs/lyrics 
                  occassionally, but she have many execellent 
                  songs/lyrics written.  
Hobby : Single person Shiritori [game of finding words begin 
        with the ending of the prvious word.  -Ed.]  Usually 
        play during free time.  When playing during talk shows, 
        her comments on the words she choose are treasures.
Previous life : According to Kikuko, she was a manbow in her 
                previous life.
Dream Life Style : Mermaid.  Spend half her rest days in the sea.
                   Would be ideal if she has gills.
Works you should check : Dreamcast's game Sakura Taisen 3's 
                         Lobelia, a bad woman, which is the kind 
                         of role Kikuko want very much to voice.  
                         Her first role of such kind of character
                         was Panter of Saber Marionette.
