[edit] Career
Nozawa made her movie debut as a child actor at the age of 3.
Throughout her career as a voice actress, she has performed many male roles (most notably as nearly all the male members of Goku's family in Dragon Ball Z), leading Japanese fans to give her the nickname "The Eternal Boy", though she has recently forsaken male roles for elderly woman roles.
On April 1, 2006, she resigned from 81 Produce to establish Office Nozawa.
