Today (March 9), TARAKO (real name not disclosed), the voice actor for the heroine "Sakura Momoko" in the popular Japanese animation "Chibi Maruko-chan", passed away yesterday (8th) at the age of 63.

According to Japanese media reports, TARAKO's family informed Fuji TV and his agency of the death. The funeral was low-key and only family members were invited. The cause of TARAKO's death has not yet been made public.

In an interview last summer, TARAKO shared her views on life and death, revealing that the sudden passing of her parents made her realize: "I am no longer afraid of death. When I go to heaven, I will be able to see my parents, my dog, and my cat. I will also see my family and my friends who have become angels." As for the arrangements for her own funeral, TARAKO does not want to wear mourning clothes, but rather wear the clothes that everyone wears on a daily basis.
