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 the Japanese version of Mario Kart 64 as well as Mario Party, with her recordings from those two games being reused in a few other titles. She was dubbed over in International versions of Mario Kart 64 by Leslie Swan, while Jen Taylor voiced Peach in the other games Kozuki was credited in.
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]
