This is the childhood of Tanjiro, the protagonist of “Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba,” which began its anime development in the spring of 2019.
In episode 19 “Hinokami”, which has been called a “divine episode” and was a major catalyst for the explosive popularity of this work, Taniro was in a desperate crisis against Rui, the Twelfth Demon Moon, when he saw his childhood in a running lantern.
There are many cases where female voice actors play the childhood roles of male characters, but in most cases, the roles are equivalent to small roles, and the appearances themselves are usually very small.
Tanjiro’s childhood is no exception, but due to the mega-hit of the work and the huge response to this episode, a lot of attention was paid to Ms. Sato who played the role.
The response was also great when the compilation episode “Nada Spider Mountain Episode” was aired, which recorded a high viewer rating of over 15%.
No.9：Hanajima Saki
A character in Fruits Basket, the remake of which began airing in 2019.
He has been a friend of the main character, Toru Honda, since middle school, and the three of them often hang out together with another friend, Arisa Uotani.
He is a user of poisonous radio waves, and has the mysterious ability to send malicious radio waves into other people’s brains and to sense other people’s thoughts.
She looks cool and beautiful, but in fact, her schoolwork is atrocious and she is a habitual make-up student.
She often makes witty remarks with low tension, and has a remarkable gap between her appearance and her character.
Right after her breakthrough, Ms. Sato often played cheerful girls, but as her career has progressed, she has had more opportunities to play characters with a mysterious atmosphere.
No.8：Shiina Kokomi

She is the main character in “Girl Friend (Kari)”, which was made into an anime in the fall of 2014, and served as the main character in the anime version.
She is a beautiful girl with excellent grades, good manners, and is the ace of the rhythmic gymnastics club.
She has a natural temperament and collects unusual stuffed animals, which makes her a bit unique.
She won first place in the Miss Sakura Contest 2013, beating out the second place finisher by nearly twice the number of votes, and has been the face of the game for many years, having placed in the top three in every general election since.
It was announced that she would be voicing Shinjitsu before the game’s launch on October 29, 2012, and her voice and performance have contributed greatly to the game’s popularity.
No.7：Kanzaki Yukiko
A character from the 2015-2016 broadcast of “Assassination Classroom”.
She is a female student in Class 3E who trains daily to assassinate Sen Sen.
She is a beautiful, gentle girl with long black hair, and is so popular that she was ranked first in the “Girls I like in my class” ranking by her male classmates, making her something of a madonna.
Although she is not a main character and does not have many appearances, she is a fan favorite, coming in 10th place in the “Assassination Classroom Animate Character Popularity Poll” (2nd place for women and 1st place for female students).
She has been ranked 10th in the “Assassination Classroom Animate Character Popularity Poll” (2nd place female, 1st place female student).
No.6：Tamura Manami
出典 : Amazon.co.jp
She is one of the heroines of “Ore no Imouto ga Konnani Kawaii Wake ga Nai,” which was made into an anime in the fall of 2010.
She is a childhood friend of the main character, Kyosuke Kosaka, and has known him for 10 years.
She is a quiet girl who is good at cooking, and is called a “sober girl” by Kyosuke’s younger sister, Kirino, because of her plain appearance and personality.
On the surface, she does not show any resistance to Kyosuke’s friendship with other girls, but she strongly rejects the idea of becoming romantically involved with Kirino, and when Kirino agitated her, she gave her a strong punch in the stomach, causing an uproar among the fans.
The role of a calm girl is one of her strongest points.
This includes Sakura Karasuma from “Kiniro Mosaic” and Mizuki Shibata from “Magical High School for Inferior Children”.
