While watching One Piece I noticed that Nami's voice sounded different coming
into the Little Garden arc. When I looked up info on her character on the One
Piece wiki I found that during episodes 70-78 she had a different Japanese
voice actress, Wakana Yamazaki, before returning to the previous voice
actress, Akemi Okamura. I can't seem to find any reason or explanation for
this. Does anyone have a clue why this would be? It was all part of a canon
arc too.

question
one-piece voice-acting
What is the reason for the change in Nami's Seiyuu for a short period of time (Japanese Dub)?


According to [Nami](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nami_\(One_Piece\))'s
Wikipedia's page:

> In the Japanese version of the entire One Piece anime series, and later
> spin-offs, Nami has been voiced by Akemi Okamura. In 2001, Okamura
> temporarily left the series due to her pregnancy; Wakana Yamazaki acted as a
> substitute for episodes 70-78.
