Keiko Han (潘 恵子, Han Keiko, born April 5, 1953) is a Japanese actress and voice actress. She sang the theme songs in productions such as Story of the Alps: My Annette and Kazoku Robinson Hyōryūki Fushigi na Shima no Furōne. Han is a fortune teller of western horoscopes. She wrote books on the subject. She is employed by talent agency Never Land Arts, and was previously affiliated with Aoni Production & 81 Produce.

She is most known for the roles of Lalah Sune (Mobile Suit Gundam), Saori Kido (Saint Seiya), Yurika Sugadaira (Goldfish Warning!) and Luna and Queen Beryl (Sailor Moon).

Keiko's daughter Megumi is also a voice actress.

Early life

She was born in Tokyo. She graduated from Toyo Eiwa Jogakuin University and Nihon University College of Arts and Future Theater. Han is the daughter of Taiwanese parents. Early in her career, Han performed with Kenji Utsumi's troupe. She was invited by Utsumi and Michiko Nomura to work as a voice actress for film and television.

Career

At the time of the appearance of Mobile Suit Gundam, she saw eight Broadway performances during a week-long stay in New York, which had a great impact on her voice acting. Kenji Utsumi and Ryōko Kinomiya are called parenting parents.[1]

As a voice actress,[1] she worked as a singer and on theme songs, especially known as "the World Masterpiece Theater" series. In this series, she, Eiko Yamada and Mitsuko Horie are recurring voice actresses. She 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 authored many books. She serialized the horoscope section in Animage under the pseudonym 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 astrologer Tomoaki Nagare, whom she had met before, and began to study it. Less than a year after joining the disciple, she commenced writing a book with him.
