Biography

Born in Tokyo, she graduated from universities Toyo Eiwa Jogakuin, Nihon University College of Arts and Future Theater. Han is the daughter of Taiwanese parents, originally she performed on stage on the stage of Kenji Utsumi's troupe, but she was invited by Utsumi and Michiko Nomura to perform on TV and movies and perform voice actors. At that time, there was a trend that the performances of the stage and the voice actors were completely different, but the clan said that she would not bother at all.

At the time of the appearance of Mobile Suit Gundam, she saw eight Broadway performances during her week-long stay in New York. Shocked at their content, in their work they felt "another impossible!", which began to focus on the voice of the work of thinking what they can do for their own. Kenji Utsumi and Ryōko Kinomiya are called parenting parents.[1]

As an original idol voice actress,[1] she has also worked as a singer and has worked on theme songs. She has also appeared in quiz shows and TV dramas. In the early 1980s, female voice actors frequently won first place in popularity polls.

She worked as a western astrologer and has authored many books. There was also a time when she serialized the horoscope section in Animage under the pseudonym of Ban Kyoran. Currently, the astrology section (Lalah's Astrology Fortune Telling) is published in the Gundam Ace magazine, and in the anime, she is responsible for the fortune telling of Katekyō Hitman Reborn!. She began her fortune-telling when she became interested in the story of the astrologer Tomoaki Nagare, whom she had met before, and began to attend school. Less than a year after joining the disciple, she began to book with him.
