The only female title character she's played, if I'm not mistaken.

Guess it wasn't a coincidence that Minami Takayama played the lead in
two anime series based on Gosho Aoyama's manga.  Yaiba seemed to be a
lot more popular over here (whole series was aired, including a few
reruns) than Detective Conan was (only the first 25 episodes or so were
aired).  Then again, Yaiba was probably a lot cheaper to license.
