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:

SParkyyyyyyyyyyy
jesus that was truly awful!
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
FOREHEAD SAANN !!
Now I get the whole huge forehead thing.
Indignation is over NINE THOUSAAAAAAAND!
Out of the time loop and onto Namek.
Ah! Now we know why she promoted that BIG FOREHEAD of hers!
y'know the late Tomiko Suzuki sang the opening theme for 70s mecha Voltes V.
Wow.. so that explains the the recent forehead propoganda thing..
Want to compete with Satomi's Ritsu and Kugimiya's Iori,eh...
LAST PIC IS TEH LULZ!!!

Are they still on namek?
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.
LOL!
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?
now her fans' balls will be inert from too much fapping.
They should be using her real pic
You nkow, the unphotoshopped, wide foreheaded one
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.
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??
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.
"Cool" story, bro.
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?
Nah, don't ban anons. Ban those trolls & bashers.
Yeah, we should ban Anonymous too, for his retarded comments...
@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??
I agree. Wut is this flame war? How unsightly.
his comments is always retarded. xD~
Poor little nimrod.
Troll Fight! Troll Fight!
BAN 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.
LOL. Someone tries to be me but forgot to type his name as Storm Wing...
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?
DAMN! Storm Wing, when did you start your own Fan Club?!
Beats me. I don't bashing people. They start it first.
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.
