TOKYO — A Japanese actor who was the voice of 'Doraemon,' a cartoon cat robot beloved by children in Japan and other countries has died, her agency said Friday. Nobuyo Oyama was 90.For a quarter of a century until 2005, Oyama lent her endearingly hoarse voice to the titular blue feline from the 22nd century with his 'magic pocket' and its supply of fantastical gadgets, including a door that lets you travel anywhere.
'Doraemon' is still on air as one of the longest-running Japanese anime series, popular across Asia and farther afield.While Oyama's successor has played the role for nearly two decades, her voice remains the definitive sound of the robot for many who grew up hearing it.In 'Doraemon', the cuddly robot cat with its huge smile travels back in time to help a lazy schoolboy called Nobita overcome the trials of everyday life.Created by the artist Fujiko F.
