In order to restore loli voice in Japanese anime, many adult voice actors will speak with a sharper voice line, which is somewhat contradictory. However, for the following real underage Lolita voice actors, this is a good opportunity for them to show their skills.
The rapid replacement of the Japanese voice actor industry, coupled with the rapid change of audience tastes, has made some voice actor institutions and animation works take underage voice actors as the selling point to create original "Lolita tone" and "Zhengtai tone" for the work. However, after all, it is impossible to compare with adults, and the body and mind of children are not yet fully developed, so it is very difficult to stand out in the rigorous training, which also makes the performance of the following three Lolita voice actors even better.
Ryoko Hara - representative work "Yuanqi Yuanqi Boy"
Born in 2005, the cute little sister of Ryoko is very strong in her acting skills, and has appeared in many TV series, movies and commercials, and is a talented child star. And when Ryoko cameo in the voice actor industry, her performance was equally wonderful.

In 2014, Ryoko Hara, who was only 9 years old at the time, participated in the voice work of the heroine of the new "Genki 囝仔", which conquered the hearts of all audiences with her wonderful acting skills and childlike tone, and with the unique healing atmosphere of "Genki 囝仔", people were extremely compassionate to this innocent and cute Lori.
The heroine of "Genki 囝仔" is Ginshi Naoru
Genki Ryozai is set in the westernmost part of Japan's Goto Islands, where the local residents speak a strong dialect, which is a big challenge for Ryoko Hara, who is still young. At the recording site, Ryoko repeatedly learned from the dialect CD, and tirelessly stood in front of the microphone over and over again, showing a rigorous work attitude different from her age.
Through continuous learning by himself, and the help of other voice actors, including Daisuke Ono, the recording of the sound source of "Genki Boy" was successfully completed. In Mr. Ono's eyes, the change of Ryoko's little sister is obvious to all, just like the real "Kotoshi Naya" standing in front of her, which can be said to be the greatest recognition and praise for her.
Endo Risai - representative work "Innocence and Lightning"
The heroine of "Innocence and Lightning", Inuzuka Miki
Also born in 2005, as a child actress, Riki Endo has also performed in Genki Tsuneyoshi, and her role is Tsutomu's little friend Yoshinori Kubota. Although there were not many lines at that time, the little sister of Li Cai performed well and played this shy and cute Lori to the fullest.

In 2016, 10-year-old Risai Endo got the voice work of the heroine Inuzuka in Shinban's "Innocence and Lightning", co-starring with famous voice actors Yuichi Nakamura and Saori Hayami. In this work, the little sister of Li Cai substitutes her lively side into the role setting of Mixi, and accompanies her own understanding to interpret various feelings such as happiness, sadness, and sadness in a timely manner.

Of course, the child's Li Cai is still slightly inferior in acting skills and expression, and when "Innocence and Lightning" was broadcast, there were even viewers who did not know the truth that the dubbing of this character was "too contrived" and "the voice was unnatural", and as the animation progressed, the little sister of Li Cai used her strength to slowly shut up the complaining audience, and also made the audience who liked her look forward to the future growth of Li Cai on the road of voice actors.
Okada Hihanari – Representative work "What to Do at the End of the Day"
Okada Hihana-ri voice role: What is going on in the last days of doom, Elucus Hawksden
If the above two Lolitas are also working as child stars, then the little sister below is specially debuting as a voice actor. In the current April broadcast of the new "What are you doing at the end of the day?" Are you available? Can I come to the rescue? In episode 5, Okada Hihanari (7 years old), the youngest voice actor at the moment, officially debuts, voiced the cute red-haired Lori Elucus Hawksden.

At the voice actor audition in February this year, Okada Nihanari's little sister received a lot of attention at the time with her excellent acting skills and vocal line. Now that she has finally officially appeared in the animation work, and the voiced role still has more scenes, although the unnatural tone of the stick reading and emotional ups and downs are slightly lacking, it is definitely a rare growth experience for this fledgling little Lolita.

Due to her young age, okada Hiraru looked nervous at the voice actor audition, but she still performed well and was praised by judges such as chief producer Ito Atsushi. In the anime "What is the End of the Day", Okada Hinata slowly got rid of the discomfort, and tacitly cooperated with the adult voice actors who participated, and the voice actress Ofada Dori also praised her, making people more and more looking forward to the future development of Hinata's little sister.
In April last year, the Japanese voice actor agency "Production Ace" also launched a special course aimed at cultivating voice actors for primary and secondary school students, and created a "reserve army" in the voice actor industry by arranging training for these Lolita and Zhengtai in daily interaction, pronunciation and emotional embedding. Combined with the surge in the number of voice actors in Japan at this stage, even children have competed with themselves for jobs, and I don't know how those obscure adult voice actors will feel...
