Noriko Hidaka
From One Piece Encyclopedia
Noriko Hidaka (日高のり子, Hidaka Noriko?), real name Noriko Nagai (永井範子, Nagai Noriko?), maiden name Noriko Itō (伊東範子, Itō Noriko?, born May 31, 1962) is a seiyū, or voice actor.
She was born on in the Kudan area of Chiyoda, Tokyo, Japan, where she attended Fujimi Elementary School. Her parents owned a Western-style clothing store named "Tailor Itō".
She began her career as an idol star, but switched to voice acting, and is currently employed by the talent management firm 81 Produce. Hidaka originally used the kanji variant 日髙 (note that the second kanji is different). She switched to the current usage (日高) around 1995 when she found that it was written that way already on many things and after friends recommended the kanji with the lower stroke count. Her fans have given her the affectionate name Nonko (ノン子).
