Michiko Nomura
Michiko Nomura (野村 道子, Nomura Michiko; born March 31, 1938 in Yokohama, Kanagawa) is a Japanese actress, voice actress, and sōdanyaku.
She is best known for her roles as Shizuka Minamoto in Doraemon, Maya the Bee in The Adventures of Maya the Bee, and Wakame Isono in Sazae-san.
Nomura was born in Yokohama, Kanagawa Prefecture on March 31, 1938. She was adopted by relatives living in Osaka Prefecture when she was two years old.
As the war intensified, Nomura and her family evacuated over to Gifu Prefecture. Once the war came to an end, she returned back home. Because she was the only one with a different surname, she thought her younger siblings were merely relatives.
From an early age, Nomura loved radio dramas and wanted to pursue a career in radio dramas and voice acting. During her time at Kanagawa Gakuen Junior and Senior High School, she joined their drama club, with her coaches being Yoshiya Nemoto and Naoki Sugiura.
In her third year of high school, Nomura applied for a theater company established by the Tokyo Announcement Academy, but was rejected due to her young age, though got heavily encouraged to join the acting training department, so started attending the academy's acting department every Sunday.
Once Nomura graduated from training school, she appeared on programs by the producer who instructed her. At the beginning of her career, she usually worked as an actress on commercials and TV dramas. Initially, when she was in her early twenities, she passed the Fuji TV weathercaster audition and became their first weather girl, but since the weather forecast was done every morning, she was unable to make time to film for live-action dramas, and her voice acting jobs grew. She officially began working in the voice acting industry three to four years after she started her career in acting. By her early twenties, Nomura would often show her face, and since the weather forecast ended at 8:00am, she was able to do other work like dubbing songs used in commercials, acting in television commercials, and dubbing for foreign films afterwards.
In 1973, Nomura married Kenji Utsumi. She met Utsumi while on Speed Racer and their wedding ceremony took place at a white church in Hawaii, USA, with Tadashi Nakamura and his wife serving as their matchmakers. They were married for nearly 40 years until his death in 2013.
