Sad news to report as we have learned that Sayaka Kanda, the Frozen actress who voiced Anna in the Japanese dubbed version of Disney’s Frozen has died.
The Japanese actress, Sayaka Kanda is known for many voice-over roles including Idoly Pride, Star Blazers 2202, and Convenience Store Boyfriends. She recently voiced Princess Anna in the Japanese dubbed version of Disney’s Frozen and was to appear in the upcoming April 2022 production of Galaxy Express 999.
According to a report by People, Sayaka was found unconscious on Saturday afternoon, lying in an outdoor space at the hotel she was staying at. The voice-actress/singer died after being transported to the hospital. Police are investigating her death as a “probable suicide” but are not ruling out foul play.
A message was posted on Sayaka’s website by Mitsuhisa Kamoike, CEO of L’aube Inc. which translates to:
Sayaka was currently performing in the musical My Fair Lady in which she attended Friday’s rehearsal but did not show up for the Saturday performance. She was 35 years old.
