The infamous "Osaka Hiccups" scene. BTW, Chiyo's VA, Tomoko Kaneda, was only 5" taller than Chiyo. Tomoko is only 4'9". She is also listed as having the highest pitch human voice on the planet. She can make sounds beyond human hearing. She is also a delightful person.

"She can make sounds beyond human hearing. She is also a delightful person." You know, I don't doubt you, but that kinda seems like an oximoron

She's either running the best con I've ever seen or the highest voiced post-pubescent Japanese woman to ever live...

[@tommynobaka]

14 year old comment :0 a friend of mine in middle school never developed a "deep" voice after puberty. He had the same voice from 6th grade until 12th. We're almost 10 years removed from highschool and I ran into him at the grocery store and he STILL has that same pre-pubecent voice. It's strange because he's clearly a grown man (albeit short - 5'5) but has a middle school boys voice I've also met numerous woman who have very high voices despite being clearly grown woman. I found it strange at first then remembered my friend from school. Some people can "develop" "deeper" voices, (much like a voice actor manipulating their voice to create different sounds) it's just more comfortable for some people to use their "normal" voice which just happens to sound higher pitched
