Notes

• Appeared as a presenter in the live-action film adaptation of the novel Battle Royale (2000)
• In September 2007, a thyroid condition called Grave's Disease nearly sidetracked her voice-acting career, as described in her blog entry. This disease affects the thyroid gland and throat, often leaving a victim unable to speak. At the time, many fans had speculated whether Miyamura would return to voice Asuka in the then-upcoming Evangelion 2.0, or even if Asuka would not be featured out of respect to her seiyu, as is often done in Japan. Despite this debilitating disease, miraculously "Miyamu" was able to make a voice-acting comeback for Evangelion 2.0 and the remaining installments of Rebuild of Evangelion.
• Miyamura lived for many years in Melbourne, Australia, with then husband/stuntman Seki Takayuki and a daughter. She had her own voice acting school, and returned to Japan later.
