| What the title says. For me, I first encountered Ayako Kawasumi in Fate/Stay Night, in which she voiced Saber. I absolutely loved Saber (she's my favorite character, and, if not, in my top 3), and I really thought Ayako Kawasumi did an excellent job voicing her. Didn't hurt that Fate/Stay Night was pure win. Soon after I watched Hitohira and Nodame Cantabile, and it was true love from there. xD So...how about the rest of you? |
| Saber from FSN really did it for me. At the time I had already watched Samurai Champloo and didn't realize Fuu had the same seiyuu. Later on I watched Shakugan no Shana and it's pretty much a sealed deal as a fan of hers ^_^ |
| OMH! she does Fuu too?!?! ok, I love her more than ever now... I really don't pay attention to voice actors as much as I probably should.. I know, i'm a bad person... But I do love characters, and I know that's usually b/c of their voices, or at least the characteristics I like are emphasized by their voices... That said, Saber is epic win I have to agree. |
| Her voice of Lafiel of course, one of the most impressive female character ever created ! |
 In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same. |
| I really liked her as Saber from FSN, Aoi from Ai yori Aoshi, Nono from Hitohira, Kaori from Kanon even though she didn't get as many lines, Mahoro from Mahoromatic, and of course Chikane from Kannazuki no Miko. These are not in any specific order and yeah, I watch alot of anime with her in it lol. |
 |
| first there was Ohno from genshiken, then fuu, matsuri from ichigo mashimaro,nodame, mikan from potemayo, yoshida, henrietta in zero no tsukaima and so many more Her voice can be so different in every role, fell in love soon after fuu but deeper in love after nodame and saber |
| in mahoromatic.... love at first sight.... or almost XD |

| One day I was looking at seiyuu lists and discovered that she was the seiyuu for a bunch of my favorite characters (3 of my current Top 5, Saber, Mahoro & Lafiel). I like almost everything she's done. |
| on FSN... and after watching Shakugan no Shana... I've started to search for more anime in which Ayako Kawasumi was the seiyuu... and of course, I didn't regret it... I've like watching them... although only a few of them is what I've watch.... She's really one of the best seiyuu.... |

Music is from the soul~ ♥ |
| from fsn saber and sns yoshida kazumi |
| all about moe ^^ |
| Her amazing performance in Kannazuki is one of the reasons why Chikane will forever be my all time favorite female character <3 |

| I got caught by her the moment I heard her as Saber and in that exact moment, Saber also became my favorite character ever (kinda obvious, isn't it? =P) Her voice fit the character so perfectly, it was love at first sight (or hear?). |

| when i was watching Rave |
 |
| I first heard her in Kannazuki no Miko, but I didn't know much about seiyuu back then. I first really took note of her in Hitohira as Nono, iirc. I adore her sweet, but firm voice work the most. |
| I strongly reccomend to those who havent watched yet the anime Ayashi no Ceres. Ayaki plays a supporting character, but it was definitely one of her best works. She made the character Chidori Kuruma so perfect. Really! its a MUST WATCH for all Ayako fans! |

| Kurau, Nomura Tomoko, Matsuri-chan - good characters from my anime favourites, so it was inevitable for me, that's how i found out ... and it made a deep impression how different those roles are. I definitely missed something while watching Ayashi no Ceres since I don't remember too much of Chidori's voice acting, gotta rewatch and pay more attention next time. Pandora Hearts, Fate/stay night, Nodame Cantabile definitely got a few steps up in my plan to watch list due to Kawasumi Ayako. UPD: Awww, Ohno Kanako and Fuu!! |

| I fell in love with her voice when I watched Gatekeepers back in 2002. Very memorable, indeed. Rurippe, Chikane-chan, Saber and OMG, Chidori from Ayashi no Ceres. Everytime I watched that particular episode, I teared up. |
| Well, what happened to me was I knew that she voiced Saber first off, and then checked her wikipedia article to see who else she voiced. I then found out that she voiced tons of my favourite characters and was in many of my favourite series and even video games(such as Kluke in Blue Dragon and Gwendolyn in Odin Sphere). I was amazed, I just kept seeing more characters I knew and was all "Whoa! She played her too?". It turns out she has really good range, so much so that I didn't even notice. I mean, who else can play the Noble Saber, the Amorous Chizuru Minamoto, AND the Cynical Kaede of Ninin ga Shinobuden? |
