Fanboy moment for MrBeast

She has even worked in Japanese dubs of popular films like 'Toy Story 4' and 'Zootopia.'
If you're wondering, Takeuchi is still the voice behind Naruto Uzumaki, who is currently the Hokage of the Hidden Leaf Village. The anime hero has been a crucial part of the show 'Boruto: Naruto Next Generations,' although it's currently on hiatus after running for six years.
