Crayon Shin-Chan Mandarin Voice Actress Passed Away On 16 Sep
Crayon Shin-Chan, AKA La Bi Xiao Xin (蜡笔小新), is a nostalgic anime character for many of us who grew up in the 1990s.
Unable to understand Japanese, we would have watched the anime – which aired for 2 decades – with Mandarin dubbing.
Sadly, Jiang Duhui (蔣篤慧), the Taiwanese voice actress behind the goofy Shin Chan, passed away on Monday (16 Sep) as a result of cancer.
