A new milestone in Japanese anime has been reached, as the role of Mouri Ran in the popular series, Detective Conan, is being taken over by the voice actor of Nami from One Piece. This news comes after the former voice actor had to withdraw due to health reasons. Viewers are eager to hear the new voice and the representative company has reassured fans that Mouri Ran's character essence will remain intact despite the voice change.

The change of voice actors, especially for beloved characters from long-running anime like Detective Conan, is not taken lightly in Japan. It can affect the show's ratings and audience acceptance. These characters are appreciated not only for their visuals but also for the unique personalities their voice actors bring. The appointment of another famous voice actor from a highly successful anime like One Piece shows the level of quality and dedication that Japanese productions are willing to maintain.

In the US or EU, a change in voice actors, especially for animated series, is not a common occurrence, but when it does, it can be met with mixed responses. While some fans may be open to changes, others often feel very attached to the original voices behind their favorite characters. Just like in Japan, celebrity voice actors can bring renewed interest and viewership to the show.
