The book is an autobiographical memoir in which Hayashibara examines her career and the ways the characters she portrayed in various anime series affected it. Such characters include Rei Ayanami from Neon Genesis Evangelion, Faye Valentine from Cowboy Bebop, and Jessie from Pokemon.

According to Hayashibara, the time she has spent with the characters she’s played have given her strength, happiness, and allowed her to enjoy life more. She said, “They’ve showed me how to carry on when I start to lose heart, they’ve even showed me that, ‘Hey, if I do this, I can patch things up with my friends when we get into arguments.’” Hayashibara wrote the book to pass those experiences on.

Here’s the Megumi Hayashibara video message talking about her book, The Characters Taught Me Everything .

Originally, Hayashibara wanted to do autograph signing sessions around the world for the 264-page book, but will not be able to due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

The Characters Taught Me Everything, known as Zenbu Kyara kara Osowatta Ima wo Ikinuku Chikara in Japan, will appear in print worldwide in August 2021. The digital version of the book is immediately available.
