Yukari Tamura

Yukari Tamura (田村 ゆかり, Tamura Yukari, born February 27, 1976 in Fukuoka, Fukuoka Prefecture), is a popular Japanese singer-songwriter and voice actress, affiliated with the talent agency I'm Enterprise. Affectionately called Yukarin by her fans, she is also known for her high-pitched voice and interest in Lolita fashion.

While also a well-known voice actress in Japan, several of her releases have been used as opening and ending themes for anime series, while some have reached the Oricon top 100 singles and album charts. Her role as Nanoha Takamachi in the Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha series contributed to a rise in her popularity, as several of her singles ("Little Wish ~lyrical step~", "Spiritual Garden", "Hoshizora no Spica", "Beautiful Amulet") were used as the ending themes for the franchise's anime adaptations.

Yukari Tamura also has a radio show based on the character role (Seppuku Kuro Usagi) itself. It is called "Mischievous Black Bunny".
