The Biography

Gotou Yuuko, born August 28, 1975 in Aichi Prefecture, Japan, is a voice actress and singer who formerly worked for Production Baobab. In direct contrast to her cute-and-vulnerable moé typecasting, Gotou in real life is a devotee of biker culture who dresses and acts as such when not working, right down to her motorcycle. This was parodied in the 23rd episode of Lucky Star, in which she appears as a masculine Bousouzoku-styled caricature of herself called Gottouuza-sama. In June 2012, she announced that she is suffering from idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura and systemic lupus erythematosus.[6] She is currently performing voice actor activity, while frequently going to the hospital, but recovered on October 4.
