Asako Kozuki (上月 亜少子),[1][2] also known as Asako Haruhana (春花 亜少子)) is a member of Nintendo's publicity department who voiced Princess Peach in Mario Kart 64, before being dubbed over by Leslie Swan in Western releases, as well as in Mario Party, with her recordings from those two games being reused in a few other titles.
Kozuki appeared on a show where she showed Donkey Kong 64 to the reporter.[3] She was also part of the Nintendo GameCube reveal at Nintendo Space World 2001[4] and an event celebrating the release of the first Famicom Mini games (including Donkey Kong and Super Mario Bros.). At the latter event, applicants could get a Famicom-colored Game Boy Advance system signed by Shigeru Miyamoto.[5] During the Famitsu Award 2011 ceremony, she took an award on behalf of Nintendo for Mario Kart 7.[6]
