It has been just announced that Wakana Yamazaki, Ran's VA, passed away on April 18th at the age of 61.
Earlier this year, on February 16, Yamazaki stated that she would be taking a leave of absence from voicing Ran due to undergoing treatment for an undisclosed illness. Since then, her role as Ran in Detective Conan was supposed to be temporarily handed over to Akemi Okamura. Her agency stated that the treatment was not successful, and she succumbed to her illness. Okamura will now be the voice of Ran going forward.
Gosho Aoyama also offered his condolences:
“It is incredibly heartbreaking to think that I will never again hear that gentle, comforting voice that always felt so naturally close by…”
