Doctor Atsuko Chiba from Paprika
Dr. Atsuko Chiba (voiced by Megumi Hayashibara) is the main protagonist of the anime film Paprika, named for the doctor’s cheerful and carefree alter ego. Atsuko is a psychotherapist and co-worker of Kosaku Tokita. Atsuko’s serious personality matches her clothing choices well, as she typically opts for beige and black work clothes and black heels. Paprika, on the other hand, sports short auburn hair, a bright red t-shirt, and matching sneakers.
