In the anime _R.O.D the TV_ , one of the principal characters is Nenene
Sumiregawa, a famous author with an unusual personality for Japan: quick-
tempered, brash, outspoken, defiant.

She lives in Tokyo now, and we learn very little about her past, but I’m
wondering if she’s being portrayed as someone originally from Kansai. It seems
to fit her personality better than the more cultured/repressed Tokyo style. I
would guess it also fits her voice, because her _seiyuu_ , Satsuki Yukino,
hails from Ōtsu, Shiga Prefecture, in the Kansai region.

So, to those who are familiar with the series and who can judge such things:
Does she sound like she speaks Kansai-ben (possibly influenced by several
years in Tokyo)? Does she act like a Kansai-jin? Is she a character that most
Japanese viewers would immediately recognize as being from Kansai?
