Blood type: A

- Her given name, Houko (法子, Hōko?), is sometimes misread as Noriko, even in Japan. This may be due to the fact that Noriko is another way of pronouncing 法子, as seen in the name of Noriko Sakai, a famous Japanese actress.

- She has starred in many anime produced by Sunrise (e.g. Infinite Ryvius, Argento Soma, Gundam Seed and Seed Destiny, Inuyasha, among others). Also, in Gundam Seed, Argento Soma and Infinite Ryvius, her characters have strong relationships with the characters voiced by Hoshi Soichiro.

- She has worked alongside Kotono Mitsuishi whereby they voiced partners who act as foils to each other:

- Coincidentally, both ladies had voiced the same character before, under different circumstances: Satsuki Yatōji from X (Kotono was Satsuki's voice in the movie version while Houko voiced Satsuki in the anime version.) Also, both ladies appeared in three anime series in a row on the Saturday 6 p.m. timeslot on MBS and TBS, starting from Gundam Seed, to Fullmetal Alchemist and to Gundam Seed Destiny.

- Became good friends with fellow seiyu Haruna Ikezawa after their collaboration in Gravion.
