When Megumi Ogata was in primary school, she loved acting but stopped in junior high school with interests of sports such as basketball. In high school, she acted as a boy in a school play. She was not interested in university, but her father wanted her to study. She stopped studying at university after only 1 year. After disagreements and arguments with her father, she moved away from her family and began a new life following her seiyū path. Before she had been a voice actor, she was an actress of 'Neverland Musical Community', but it was closed down when Ogata was 24. Soon after, she started working in a seiyū/voice acting company named 'Aoni Production', which became the height of her seiyū career. Her debut came from the character of '' Yu Yu Hakusho '', Kurama . In 2000, she also started working as an Indie musician, using "em;ou" as her alias in order to distingish from Megumi Ogata the seiyu. She is married and has a son NOTABLE ANIME VOICE ROLES

TRIVIA Ogata has a deep voice that stands out from the higher voices of many female seiyū. Although Ms. Ogata has played some feminine characters, such as Esmeraude in '' Magic Knight Rayearth '', she is best known for playing young men and boys (i.e. Shinji Ikari) and boyish women (most famously the lesbian Haruka Tenoh (Amara Tenoh in the English anime), a.k.a. Sailor Uranus of ''Sailor Moon''). It is also because of her deep voice, she is sometimes referred as "Aniki" (Big brother in Japanese, usually used in gangs) by fans. In Samurai Deeper Kyo , she provided the voice for Sanada Yukimura , who is a 35 years old male in the story. This is an unique case of a female voice actress provide the voice for a male adult character. However, a close contender will be Pak Romi (tipped by many to be Megumi's successor) voicing Uesugi Kenshin in the game Sengoku Basara . Coincidently, both characters are from the Sengoku period of Japan's history. Here are some interesting cases of other actors she had worked with and interesting relation of the characters they worked for:
She is a good friend of the late Shiho Niiyama , and they worked together in Sailor Moon 's final season. Her most respectful teacher is the late Kaneto Shiozawa . EXTERNAL LINK |
