Former VA Tomoko Kawakami, who voiced such characters as Violet, Marian, and the Diamond and Pearl Pokédex until 2008, has unfortunately passed away, at the age of 40.

On August 19th, 2008, she underwent surgery after admitting herself to a hospital with an unknown illness. As a result she was given an 20 month sick leave. Satsuki Yukino served as her understudy during that time. She died from ovarian cancer on Thursday.

Other anime characters that she voiced ranged from Rika Sasaki in Cardcaptors Sakura, to Soifon in Bleach, to Amanda in One Piece. She also voiced Dawn's Buneary.

RIP Kawakami Tomoko.
