nihongo|Yūko Gotō|後藤 邑子|Gotō Yūko|extra=born August 28 in Aichi is a Japanese voice actress who works for Production Baobab. In direct contrast to her cute-and-vulnerable moé typecasting, Yūko in real life is a devotee of biker culture who dresses and acts as such when not working, right down to her motorcycle. This is parodied in the 23rd Episode of Lucky Star, in which she appears as a hyper-masculine Yakuza-styled caricature of herself called Gotouther. Her birth year is not public knowledge.
