All right, here's the thing.

I was under the impression that once a Seiyuu has gotten themselves an article, it was no longer necessary to keep writing, within the articles of the characters they voice, their name kanji.

For example: Yumi Touma, who has an article to herself (she's cute too!).

Because she has an article, I assumed that (since it's entirely unnecessary [we don't throw out the kanji for every real life person there is, every time they appear in an article], and also I've seen it done before) the kanji was to be removed, so that it looks like this:

Luka Carson's article said:
Her Japanese voice actress is Yumi Tōma.

and not this:

Lila said:
She is voiced by 冬馬由美 Yumi Tōma in Japanese

Which way would technically be correct? To always write out the kanji despite the seiyuu having a page, OR to omit it from the character articles once the seiyuu does?
 
I don't think we need the kanji every time the name is mentioned. Go on and leave it off if the seiyuu has an article, but if they do not have an article, it should be mentioned somewhere.
 
Of course it's already in the article. Wouldn't be encyclopedic without it. And yes, if they don't have an article, it's fine to had it the character article.
