Atsuko Tanaka, the voice actor behind iconic video game characters such as Bayonetta in the "Bayonetta" series and Chun-Li in "Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike," died at the age of 61 on Tuesday. ⁠
⁠
Her son, fellow voice actor Hikaru Tanaka, announced the news on X, revealing that his mother died after a year-long battle with an unspecified illness, which she had chosen to keep private. ⁠
⁠
Born in Gunma Prefecture on November 14, 1962, Tanaka's legacy extended beyond video games to anime characters, including Konan in "Naruto," Caster in "Fate/stay night" and Major Motoko Kusanagi in the "Ghost in the Shell" franchise.⁠
