[edit] Trivia

• Kujira's voice is described as hoarse and androgynous. Thus, many of her characters are middle-aged. Her best roles are Otose of Gintama and Orochimaru (Naruto), an antagonist of Naruto.

• Chiba Shigeru, another member of 81 Produce, gave Kujira her nickname. The nickname means "whale".
