Kae Araki from Osaka Japan is best known for her character roles in animations and video games. Working for Capcom, Namco and Square Enix.
Kae is the original voice actress for Chibi Moon and is the best Chibi Moon in the entire original series. Kae has also voiced Sailor Moon, when she filled in for her best friend Kotono Mitsuishi. The English voices have nothing on the Japanese cast. Japanese cast are the originals and cannot be always be beaten. You’ll find people are ignorant and hate reading subtitles. The voices are only dubbed because of the language barrier.
To be honest the English SM cast have always sounded demented in the series, including the new English cast in the Sailor Moon reboot. Doesn’t sound quite right. What were VIZ thinking? They should have asked Stephanie Beard to reprise her role. She was a great choice. But being as they cast someone less known the English dub is horrible. The Japanese dub recasting all the roles also makes the Japanese dub not as great. They didn’t bother ask any of the original cast to return. Most had retired.
In the Sailor Moon Crystal reboot Kae was weirdly replaced by Misato Fukuen, who sounds nothing like the original.
