When the voice actress of “Doraemon” cannot remember “Doraemon” anymore
It’s a shocking bad news!
A Japanese actor, Sagawa Keisuke, husband of the anime voice actress, Oyama Nobuyo has revealed that his wife, with the age of 81 is currently suffering from a dementia (a persistent disorder of the mental processes caused by brain disease), which caused her to lose the memory and also a behavioral change.
Oyama Nobuyo is one of the important voice actresses in the anime industry who voiced for the very famous character, “Doraemon” from 1979 to 2005.
Her sickness was started since 2008 and now, she cannot even take a bath by herself and when Mr. Sagawa says something to her, she will forget about it only after a few minutes.
Mr. Sagawa said about the character Doraemon which considered a part of Mrs. Oyama that, “I’m not sure whether she still remembers her voice as Doraemon or not, but her memory about this character was already gone.”
Actors Seven, an agency of Mrs. Oyama stated that she needs to take more time to get her strength back before returning to the public.
This might be a very sad news for all of anime fans, but I believe that Mrs. Oyama will get better soon. Let’s pray together for the returning of original Doraemon voice.
