Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) When we hear someone's voice from an anime video, we need to carry extra burdens of searching the end roll of the anime video in order to know about whose voice it is.If a system can recognize a voice actor from his/her voice on behalf of us, not only we can know about the voice actor's name without carrying extra burdens, but also we can acquire widely information about him/her such as his/her appearance information, blogs, related videos, related goods, and event information in the future.Our previous papers tackled a system of voice actor recognition with filtering by cast information extracted from the Web and similarity calculation based on voice amplitude and frequency power spectrum, but the system could not give enough good performance as voice actor recognition accuracy.And also we tried to determine the gender of the owner of a target voice using its fundamental frequency in order to narrow down candidates for voice actors, but our system could not give enough good performance, especially for the male voice actors whose voice is high pitched.Therefore, this paper tries to improve the accuracy of gender determination by pitch-based cluster segmentalization.In addition, we conduct an evaluation on the accuracy of voice actor recognition using the improved gender determination.
