Hidaka Noriko's parents once ran a suit shop called "Turro Ito" near the Nippon Budokan. She was born as the eldest daughter among three siblings (she has two younger brothers).
Hidaka attended Chiyoda Ward Fujimi Elementary School, Chiyoda Ward Kudan Junior High School, and Shokoei Girls' College High School. Short, big, medium retreat.
Hidaka has played various roles, especially lively boys and girls. For a period of time after marriage, I was busy with my business and gradually stayed away from voice acting work. This is because "family is given priority, so work is specifically oriented" (selected from Yuji Mitsuya's speech on the webcast).
Rigao's voice quality is relatively bright, and he can dub characters in various positions. Most of the works from the mid-1980s to the early 1990s are protagonists. Nowadays, there are many dubbing voices commentating special programs.
At the end of May 1992 (before her 30th birthday), she married a director who was younger than herself whom she met while working in broadcasting. In the winter of 1996, she gave birth to a son (Gata). Hidaka began voicing children's characters as a child. When she was in high school, she sang the theme song for the cartoon "Twin Monkey" under the name "Noriko Ito". Hidaka, who sang and appeared in promotional activities, traveled throughout Japan with Monchichi's dolls.
Hidaka made his debut as an idol in "First Love Sequence". He once only used the stage name "あいようこ" (kanji unknown) for one day, but later changed it back to his real name "のりこ", which continues to this day. Hidaka once served as the Campaign Galle of Kagawa's "Nio Taiyo Expo". Later, he voiced the members of NHK's "Let's Go Shounen". To a certain extent, the fame has been greatly improved, but the daily work is also very hard.
In 1984, the 22-year-old Nidaka failed to make a comeback in the entertainment industry, so he quit under the persuasion of his parents. Hidaka was triggered by the audience's submission that "the voice is very distinctive and you can try to work as a voice actor" in the radio program that he was working on at the time. Try moving into voice acting work. As a result, he made his debut as a voice actor in "Chrono Riders" (Mikauya). Since 1985, she has become famous for her role as the heroine Minami Asakura in "Touch". (Nine months after Hidaka debuted as a voice actor, he was invited to play the role of Minami Asakura in Mitsuru Adachi's masterpiece "Touch". Under strict guidance, Hidaka's acting skills greatly improved. For more than 20 years, Minami Asakura has Her status in the hearts of the Japanese people remains unshakable, and Hidaka's perfect performance of Minami Asakura also established her future status in the voice acting industry)
Since then, Hidaka has acted in "Over the Top" and "The Mystery of Sapphire" ", "Ranma 1/2", "My Neighbor Totoro" and many other well-known works have been dubbed. In addition, in "The Adventures of Peter Pan" in 1989, he tried for the first time to play the main role of a teenager. In addition, the age adaptability of the voice has also been increased, and the range of characters that can be voiced has also been expanded. In "The Adventures of Peter Pan", Hidaka's original role was the young girl Wendy. Later, he was changed to the protagonist Peter Pan because he "wanted to challenge a young boy". Hidaka himself also hopes to use the performance of the role of Peter Pan as an opportunity to expand the intensity and range of voice expression. And he hopes to get rid of "the shadow of Minami Asakura that always haunts him." Hidaka mentioned in subsequent interviews that during the post-recording of the first episode of "The Adventures of Peter Pan", his vocal cords were damaged due to excessive force. In addition, Hidaka himself often feels too much pressure when voicing a teenage character for the first time. It is said that Nanako Matsui, who voiced Wendy, and Sumi Shimamoto, who was co-starring at the time, were invited to help play the role.
The second true teenage character is Jean in The Mystery of the Sapphires. Unlike the dubbing of Peter Pan, there are often acting requirements for limited scenes and daily conversations. Hidaka often worries about "does my voice sound like a little boy?" In addition, there are many obscure Chinese characters in the script setting, and Hidaka, who is not good at this aspect, also put in a lot of effort.
After that, Hidaka encountered another problem in dubbing Jean. Faced with the role of a teenager and the grown-up 17-year-old Jean (The Mystery of Sapphires), Hidaka spent a lot of time trying to figure it out. In the drama "The Mystery of the Sapphire", Hidaka voiced Jean's son Yuna. Hidaka's cross-dressing skills were considered at the time to be "a presence that no one can match except Masako Nozawa among young cross-dressing characters."
After dubbing Jean, Hidaka's tasks of dubbing male characters also increased a lot. In terms of difficulty, compared to others, the range of sounds that can be expressed is also constantly expanding. In "TOUCH", which began broadcasting in 1985, the audition staff's opinion of her was "not very good, but let this kid take a gamble", which also included the emotions of the heroine Minami Asakura, the purpose of training. At the recording site, Hidaka, together with his co-starring Hayashiya Masazo, received strict guidance from his seniors, headed by Uesugi Tatsuya's voice actor Mitsuya Yuji, and the sound supervisor Fujiyama Fushin. However, he and Mitsuya Yuji founded an agency together or appeared in TV shows together, and the relationship between the two is very good.
This made Rigao's acting skills significantly improve in a short period of time.
Reports such as "a typical representative of those who grew up under heavy criticism" and "old people who climbed up through hard work" are also mixed with the gratitude of Japanese high school students to their predecessors in "TOUCH" feeling.
After that, Yamaguchi Kappei also accepted Hidaka’s guidance during his rookie era. To this day, Yamaguchi still maintains admiration for Hidaka. Later, he personally drew the cover illustration for Hidaka's autobiography "のんこ". When Hidaka was a child, he was affiliated with Tokyo Boei. After debuting as an idol, he worked on Kono's promotional activities at CBS Sony (Manager: Morita). After Okamoto served as manager for a long time, he changed with Rie Teraoka.
Beginning in the spring of 1996, the office closed and temporarily conducted free activities. Afterwards, he received an invitation from Yoshida, the manager of 81 Office, and transferred with Teraoka. Enrolled for many years. In March 2006, Hidaka resigned from his position at 81 Firm, and has since resumed his activities in her husband's personal firm (BIG MOUNT). On January 19, 2009, he established a new office with his old friend Yuji Mitsuya.
The record company he belongs to was Sony CBS Records and PONY CANYON in the initial idol era, and later it was メルダック. Later, it changed and he has not participated in activities as a singer in recent years. Hidaka is well known for his bright, lively personality and informality.
One day during the idol era, Hidaka and the camera crew arrived at the scene to shoot the exterior of a hot spring where bears were bathing. In fact, the content plan for the location shooting was "soaking in hot springs with bears." Rigao went there tremblingly. Suddenly, the bear wanted to bite Rigao's hair. After escaping, Hidaka complained to the director of the program, saying, "It doesn't matter, I'll demonstrate it to you myself." So he took a dip in the hot springs with the bear himself. But in the end, he was bitten on the arm by a bear (selected from the autobiography "のんこ" "Shibuya Nobu!").
Hidaka once mentioned at Inuyasha’s Japanese-American voice actor meeting that because Kikyo is not her natural voice, according to her bright and lively personality and voice, she had to be dubbing Kikyo from time to time. Remind yourself: sink, sink.
When dubbing Bellemere in One Piece, Hidaka, who had never smoked, said that it was hard for him to imagine a mother smoking in front of her children. In order to successfully interpret the effect of Bellemeier holding a cigarette, she once bit her fingers in her mouth to dub. "Nonko" (nonko) is Hidaka's nickname. It was blurted out by the teacher of the theater troupe when he was in the sixth grade of elementary school when he omitted his real name "Nonko" when he was angry. Nidaka liked this title very much. He added a tulip symbol to "のんこ" when signing his name, and used it as a pen name when writing lyrics.
When he debuted as an idol at the age of 18, in addition to "Hidaka Noko", Hidaka's biography and promotional posters also had "nonko" printed on them, which made him famous among fans and colleagues. *Accepted and recognized (selected from the autobiography "のんこ" "Private, "のんこ"だよ").
