Megumi Ogata (緒方 恵美, Ogata Megumi, born June 6, 1965) is a Japanese actress, voice actress and singer from the Greater Tokyo Area.^[1] As a singer, she goes by the name em:óu. She attended Tokai University, but left due to lack of interest. She is also best known for voicing Sailor Uranus in the Sailor Moon series, Shinji Ikari in Neon Genesis Evangelion, Makoto Naegi and Nagito Komaeda in the Danganronpa series, Kurama in Yu Yu Hakusho, Yugi Mutou and Dark Yugi in Yu-Gi-Oh!, and Yukito Tsukishiro/Yue in Cardcaptor Sakura.

Biography[]

Ogata began working as a musical actress, attending the same classes alongside Rumi Kasahara and Shiho Niiyama. She used to be affiliated with Aoni Production. Because of her husky voice, she is often typecast as either young men and boys or tomboyish females (a famous example of this being Sailor Uranus, a popular character from Sailor Moon, known for being a charming tomboy in her civilian form). It is also because of this that she is sometimes referred as "Aniki" ("Big Brother" in Japanese, usually used in gangs) by fans. She married for the second time on April 1, 2004 and appeared with Ichirou Mizuki on NHK's second anime song marathon on April 30.
