A Religious Shrine For Voice Actors

A Religious Shrine For Voice Actors

This month in Tokyo, a voice actor museum opened. It claims to be the first of its kind. It houses anime scripts and various memorabilia. But the most interesting part of the museum is a Shinto shrine dedicated to voice actors.

In Japan, voice actors (seiyuu) also release pop music albums, write books, and some of them are quite well-known. When a famous voice actor dies, it’s national news.
