Nyarth (CV: Inuko Inuyama) is the Japanese name for Meowth, one of the most recognizable recurring characters in the Pokémon franchise. The role is credited to Inuko Inuyama (犬山イヌコ), a Japanese voice actress born on December 16, 1965, in Tokyo, Japan, and her performance helped define the character’s distinct personality and voice.
As a long-running figure in the Pokémon anime, Nyarth is closely tied to the series’ comedy, dialogue-driven scenes, and ensemble storytelling. The character stands out among Pokémon through speech, expressive reactions, and a memorable presence that makes Nyarth immediately identifiable to fans. Because Nyarth appears in a franchise that spans television anime, films, games, and other media, the name remains a frequent search term for viewers looking for the character and the voice credit behind it. That connection between the role and Inuko Inuyama is central to how the character is discussed in anime and voice-actor contexts, and it is a major reason Nyarth remains one of the most enduring voice performances associated with Pokémon.
