Michie Tomizawa (富沢 美智恵, Tomizawa Michie, born October 20, 1961) is a Japanese actress, voice actress and singer born in Maruko, Nagano Prefecture and raised in Shinmachi, Gunma.
Tomizawa temporarily retired from voice acting before getting married in 2002.[1] She came out of retirement for 2004's Disgaea and 2006's Black Lagoon. She also appeared in a number of Musical Kayou Shows as her Sakura Taisen character Sumire; she retired from the annual performances after getting married but came back for the 2005 show, the final show in 2006, and the 2007 Budoukan show. Although said to have retired from the Sakura Taisen world, she did, however, appear backstage in scenes of Hanagumi Camera and later on stage during some of the later shows. In 2019, she also reprised her role of Sumire Kanzaki in Shin Sakura Taisen, now as the commander of the Hanagumi and as the Imperial Playhouse's general manager.
She sang a song in Sailor Moon R, "Eien no Melody" (Eternal Melody) written by Noda Kaoru and composed by Mashita Izumi.[2] She has also recorded songs for several Sailor Moon soundtrack albums, including a version of Wham!'s "Last Christmas" (in English) for the Sailor Stars Christmas album. Tomizawa is fluent in English as well as Japanese.
She married Akira Ito in 2002.[4] Although not raised as a Christian, Tomizawa attended Christmas night church services and later converted to Christianity.[5]
