Houko Kuwashima (桑島 法子, Kuwashima Hōko?) is a seiyū and singer born December 12, 1975 in Kanegasaki, Isawa, Iwate Prefecture, Japan. She is capable of playing a variety of roles, ranging from young boys to feminine women. Kuwashima is currently affiliated with Aoni Production. Her given name, Hōko (法子, Hōko?), is sometimes mistransliterated 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.

Notes
She has starred in many anime produced by Sunrise (e.g. Infinite Ryvius, Argento Soma, Gundam Seed and Seed Destiny, and Inuyasha, among others). Also, in Gundam Seed, Argento Soma and Infinite Ryvius, her characters have strong relationships with the characters voiced by Hoshi Soichiro.
In both Gundam Seed and Seed Destiny, she has voiced characters who were the main character's first love interest (Flay in GS and Stellar in GSD). All characters which she voiced in the two shows never survived.
She has worked alongside Kotono Mitsuishi whereby they voiced partners who act as foils to each other.
*In Gundam Seed, with Kotono as Murrue Ramius and Houko as Natarle Badgiruel
*In Noir, with Houko as Kirika Yuumura and Kotono as Mireille Bouquet
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.
