Tomoko Kaneda (金田 朋子 Kaneda Tomoko), born May 29, 1973, in Yokohama, Japan, is the Japanese voice actor of Chiyo-chan in the Azumanga Daioh anime, which is her best-known role. She is also a J-Pop singer and radio personality. She had worked at Aoni Production for 11 years, then worked freelance from April to August 2011, when it was announced that she belonged to Across Entertainment. She graduated from the department of architecture at Kanto Gakuin University. She typically voices young children due to her naturally high-pitched voice, which she says hardly changes even if she breathes in helium gas. Her voice is even capable of producing sounds at a frequency beyond the range of human hearing. Her height was 146 cm when she was 29 years old, but changed to 150 cm by the time she turned 37. She is also known for appearing in Digimon, One Piece, Doraemon, D.N.Angel, Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo, Bleach, Sgt. Frog, and Tokyo Mew Mew. Her favourite colour is blue, and her blood type is B.
