I doubt the subject's notability - her only significant roles are Sakura (Dangan Ronpa), Orochimaru (Naruto) and Otose (Gintama). The rest are bit parts/minor supporting characters. Google search does not turn up anything useful or relevant. Sk8erPrince (talk) 06:45, 28 September 2016 (UTC)

 * Refferred to by ANN as "incomparable" and they covered her marriage . Also found a video interview but I need to determine its source as it may be a DVD bonus.SephyTheThird (talk) 08:33, 28 September 2016 (UTC)
 * I'll take your point on "incomparable", but not so much on her marriage. Her marriage that does assert to any sort of notability. --Sk8erPrince (talk) 09:24, 28 September 2016 (UTC)


 * Keep Having three significant roles in major anime meets WP:ENT #1. Naruto, Gintama, and Danganronpa are all major enough. Orochimaru is a notable Naruto character early on in the series. I can't say much about Otose, but given her recurring position in the show and that the anime has like 201+ episodes, I'd say she's notable. She also has a recurring role in the various You're Under Arrest! anime series as the Scooter Mama. AngusWOOF  ( bark  •  sniff ) 09:56, 28 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Are there any additional sources such as interviews and news coverage to assert the subject's notability? If there is, please add them. --Sk8erPrince (talk) 10:05, 28 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Gintama is currently 0ver 300 and will still go up. It also has an extremely large ensemble cast who appear at various rates. It's also largely episodic but will occasionally have an arc so characters will come and go as and when. Otose is one of the bigger recurring characters and has large roles in several of those arcs as well as the "as and when" appearances.SephyTheThird (talk) 10:09, 3 October 2016 (UTC)


 * Keep per Angus, her credits are sourced in the Japanese wiki article. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 13:41, 28 September 2016 (UTC)

 * Keep Otose's importance is up for debate and would not be enough to keep the article on it's own. However when combined with other roles, especially Orochimaru I think the argument in favour of keep is stronger than the deletion argument. After all, we have critical commentary on her role, and I'd be surprised if there wasn't more.SephyTheThird (talk) 10:09, 3 October 2016 (UTC)
