About 喜久子

Inoue Kikuko goes by "Onee-chan" (big sister)—a nickname that stuck from her iconic role as Tendou Kasumi in Ranma 1/2, and she's kept it official across her site and albums ever since. She's also known for her quirky belief that she was a fish in a past life, which became her trademark.

Hometown: Kanagawa, Japan

Blood type: O

Debut: 1988 in Hai Akko Desu

Her most famous bit is claiming to be eternally 17 years old. Fans love to call her out on it with a joking "Oi! Oi!"—basically the Japanese equivalent of "sure, Jan." She's taken this running gag seriously enough to found her own "17-year-old cult," complete with actual member recruits like Yukari Tamura, Sakura Nogawa, Rina Satou, and Yui Horie.

She's the mother of voice actress Honoka Inoue.
