| Man, so many negative news about seiyuus lately :( Hope she will be happy in her retirement. |
 |
| It's beginning? Noooooooo!!!!!! We just don't have enough talent to replace the legendary talent that are leaving the industry right now and the industry is becoming saturated too to make things worse. |
 |
| Does this mean her role as Hinowa in Aizome Kaori-hen her final role? All the best to her for whatever reason to put down the mic. |

| lmao why are you so obsessed with commenting this same negative comment to every news that has someone young looking. plus fyi she's 45. |
| @Raina- i am not obsessed or something and that's not a negative comment . let's be real , marriage may fail . |

AllenVonStein said: @Raina- i am not obsessed or something and that's not a negative comment . let's be real , marriage may fail . It has nothing to do with marriage though. She is retiring because, according to her, she's having trouble voicing characters these days. |
| Well, have a nice retirement. |
| May you have a happy retirement. |
| Shes quite young to retire though.. wish her all the best |
Klad said: She'll be 45 years old in a week. How many 45 year old female Japanese seiyuu do you see getting regular roles in anime???? Not many, just a few really senior members of the Endless 17 club like Kikuko Inoue. Tomo has had a long career for what she does.Shes quite young to retire though.. wish her all the best |
| Good luck to her, I hope she finds her passion. |
faizdanyal said: Anybody knows what was her last Seiyuu role in an Anime? I don't know if I can recognize her voice now. If you won't count Gitama's Hinowa, she played minor role in one episode of Ushio to Tora and Mumei's mother in Koutetsujo no Kabaneri. And she voiced Alicia in Granblue Fantasy game. |
| It's sad to see her and so many of her fellow seiyuu leave recently, but all the best to whatever she does after this :D |
AllenVonStein said: probably she is tired of all that hentai voice acting or maybe she is gonna get married she looks young , another marriage may fail . At least she's getting married and retiring from something she found passion for, unlike you man. this comment was too good to pass up |
| Goodbye, Hinowa. You made a great arc like Yoshiwara into an unforgettable one. Let the sun shine bright upon all of us. |
