Atsuko Tanaka, the Japanese voice of Bayonetta, has passed away after an unnamed illness she had lived with for more than a year. She was 61 years of age.
The news of her passing was shared by her son Hikaru Tanaka on social media earlier this week. He said she “fought… with grace, humour and strength” during her illness.
“I believe it was a life that was truly characteristic of Atsuko Tanaka,” her son wrote (translated by Anime Corner). “I feel truly blessed to have had such a proud mother.”
