Orochimaru from Naruto, Otose from Gintama Married!
Actually, after quite a marvellous title, I feel I need to explain a bit.
The news is that Wakako Matsumoto, also known as Kujira (or more likely more known as), who is the seiyuu of Orochimaru from Naruto and Otose from Gintama amongst other memorable roles, announced that she has gotten married. This has happened October 25, 2011 and was just announced on her Twitter account. Naturally, the 50-year-old voice actress hasn’t named who her husband is, but we are happy for the couple nonetheless.
Wishing them a happy and very long life as a family.
