Kikuko Inoue
Kikuko Inoue (井上 喜久子, Inoue Kikuko, born September 25, 1964) is a Japanese voice actress. She has voiced several characters in the Dragon Quest series over the years, beginning with Nera Briscoletti in the Dragon Quest V CD Theater, eventually returning in 2015 to voice Queen Cletia in Dragon Quest Heroes II and the Luminary's mother Queen Eleanor in the S version of Dragon Quest XI.
