Idol and occasional seiyuu Aya Hirano will be playing the role of デンデ / Dende, a young Namekian, in upcoming episodes of the newly remastered Dragonball Kai.
As the original seiyuu who played Dende, 鈴木富子 / Tomiko Suzuki, regrettably passed away in 2003 due to a heart attack, a new seiyuu was obviously required to perform in the show’s new vocal recordings.
While Hirano’s fame amongst otaku seems reason enough for her selection in the cast, it still has come off as quite a surprise online, especially as Hirano has mostly not done the typical young-boy roles female seiyuu so typically perform.
In any case, this image provided by 2ch is at least tangentially related to Hirano’s latest role:

Finally a role fitting for her. A green midget. Is a match made in heaven!
Namecks are assexual. So it's not a boy Dende.
True. They pop out eggs from their mouth, yet their appearance is so manly. Lil' Dende even ask Bulma "Wut is Mom & Dad??". LOLs
y'know the late Tomiko Suzuki sang the opening theme for 70s mecha Voltes V.
lol I got a idea on what the comic was about without the translation xD
FOREHEAD SAANN !!
LAST PIC IS TEH LULZ!!!
Out of the time loop and onto Namek.
Ah! Now we know why she promoted that BIG FOREHEAD of hers!
Indignation is over NINE THOUSAAAAAAAND!
She can do the opening as well

SParkyyyyyyyyyyy
jesus that was truly awful!
Now I get the whole huge forehead thing.
Wow.. so that explains the the recent forehead propoganda thing..
Want to compete with Satomi's Ritsu and Kugimiya's Iori,eh...
I seriously hate this annoying bitch.
I'd still like to blow my load on her forehead though, lets see how well we can shine it.
As if dragon ball didn't suck enough.
why are they making a sequel the first sucked total dragon balls.
Hey Vegita, what does the scouter say about the fail level?
ITS OVER NINE THOUSAAAAND!!!!
lol that comic strip is hilarious
YAAAYYY!!!!!! C=
Good luck Aya, i wish you could've done android 18...

Are they still on namek?
Original pic on right. Shopped version on left.
they look the same so i think it's a good choice,
especially since i coudn't care less for DB!
LOL!
why cant i stop thinking of her forehead now of all times >_>
maybe thats why her hair line is receding..
the fuck are they doing for auditions? pulling names out of a hat?
no their pulling it from her forehead and their ass
They play twister, but with names. It's more fun that way.
epic fail
This is why Dragon Ball Z sounds so gay in Japanese.
They get a bunch of hot chicks to do it.
>hot chicks
Wait... What?
Ok I can't be the only one who thought of her forehead as soon as they saw that picture of Dende
Definitely not. I want to see her with antennae now.
now her fans' balls will be inert from too much fapping.
so.. her first male character of all people would be Dende eh... welp.. we have never heard her as a male before so...
stormwing is still a faggot
LOL, I love how he hasn't even commented yet and people are already starting shit.
He's got a ban incoming. The only question is when.
When i bash people. But nah, i don't like to bash around.
completely agree. stormwing is a fucking faggot
ORLY??
"Cool" story, bro.
Uh... Wut was that again? Oh right. Bashers = bunch of spineless cowards who likes to bully a peaceloving person.
I stab a bully once, with a scissors & only stucked in prison for 1 week, because thar's a MASSIVE supporters for me. Bite me.
Unfortunately, Razor... It's true. I'm one of his old high school friend. He was being bullied so often so anger is in his blood. Some jerks ALWAYS make his bike's tyre goes flat, or spits on his back hair. Until one day, he saw the culprit. He told them to stop it, but instead they laugh. So, Storm Wing got snapped... The rest is history.
Yes you are , i hope the banhammer coming soon.
samefag
^Storm Wing
He's not admitting his own "crime". LOLs.
Yarly
+Rep
Talk about someone who yelled "first!"...
PWND!!
-Rep
Your the one giving it to him... huh???????
@bashers: Proof or you all lied. Oh wait, you don't haev to. If that's you are than who am i?
Aya Hirano as Dende... ^^; Nanael turned green?? LOLs.
@ Storm Wing, that's a lot of Anon who hates your guts, what in the hell did you do to them?
@Anonymous 11-08-2009 15:21: "Maybe you have a cool name or jealous of your avatar." That's bullshit! His nickname & his avatar is NOT cool. They just wanna bash him for commenting in 1st comment. Wut's wrong with dat anyway?? Although, i'm not supporting Storm Wing. But hey, wut's teh point in this so-called Flame War??
Nah, don't ban anons. Ban those trolls & bashers.
I agree. Wut is this flame war? How unsightly.
Yeah, we should ban Anonymous too, for his retarded comments...
his comments is always retarded. xD~
Poor little nimrod.
BAN STORM WING
Troll Fight! Troll Fight!
DAMN! Storm Wing, when did you start your own Fan Club?!
If stormwing's comments are actually relevant, why doesn't he comment on all the other comments on articles instead of the first comment every time?
LOL. Someone tries to be me but forgot to type his name as Storm Wing...
@Sanimej2: Since someone starts bashing me?
@Anon: Due to my job at the office, i'm often replying on the VERY first comment on screen. But if i got spare time, i also reply to other people.
every time I read the comments on every thread, they're on to you. Maybe you have a cool name or jealous of your avatar.
Beats me. I don't bashing people. They start it first.
first? aya hirano + dragon ball = fail
You suck! >:[
No, you suck
Leave it to 2chan to make something... so brilliant! Wonder how Dende will sound though...

Man, a lot of people sh*t with pens...

Aya Hirano can suck me all day long (^.^)
Daisuke Ono as Fat Buu...
Sexy...
looking at the title i thought it was another forehead joke........
me too! roflmao XD!
First Post!
And first to fail!
ahahahha.i lolled
well i lolied
Why do people always post "useless" first posts ? it fucking useless, post something better.
And if you trollers say that i should take my own advice, Tell those "First Post" faggots first.
Because we're (or just me? haha) stupid.
And before you start posting and crying about how "useless" a post is, why should it even matter to you? Yeah sure, maybe it killed a few brain cells, but hey, you've got plenty more!
Now go learn some grammar. You obviously need it.
Yep, losing a few ones won't make a difference especially, and I'm just noting it without pointing anyone, when you're used to having almost none.
Let me say that losing a few brain cells doesn't mean you have plenty left, people can be born naturally stupid also... No offense, just proving a point.
MY DRAGONBALLS!
ARE INERT
ARE CASTRATED
I wonder what is going to happen now.
Pretty much nothing. Now, Dende will sound a little wierd from what we were acustom to. Unless she can pull it off. They did choose her so I guess she did a good job. Only time will tell.
What?How is it going to sound like? If I close my eyes,I want to fap to haruhi.If I open my eyes, my stick won't shift into high gear.
Pointless.
She should have been android 18 instead.
Or not in DBZ period.
Now Japan has a better excuse to fap to green aliens.
