Voice actress Kana Hanazawa will be voicing Ran in the upcoming reboot of Urusei Yatsura. Ran is a seemingly sweet girl and sometimes antagonist who comes to Earth to get revenge on her childhood friend Lum for always causing trouble for her in their youth.

Urusei Yatsura began as a manga series in 1978 and is regarded as one of Takahashi’s first major works. The series follows a young man named Ataru who’s randomly selected to compete with a race of spacefaring Oni for humanity’s future.
His opponent in the competition is the princess of the Oni, Lum. Due to a misunderstanding, Lum assumes that Ataru has proposed to her after he wins the competition. While the situation may seem intense, the series is far far more light-hearted.
After this competition, Lum tries to pursue a relationship with Ataru and ultimately ruins his chances at a normal life or a normal relationship. From here, the series takes off with perverted and slapstick comedy that fans of Ranma 1/2 would expect from Takahashi.
Kana Hanazawa’s career took off in the late 2000s her early main roles include Angelica from Gunslinger Girl and my personal favorite Sora Kajiwara from Sketchbook Full Colors.
