# Tricia Takanawa

Field reporter for Channel 5 news in Quahog.

## Core facts

- **Role:** Field reporter at Quahog 5 News
- **Voiced by:** Alex Borstein, credited in every listed episode
- **First appearance:** Da Boom (S02E03, 26 December 1999)
- **Credited appearances:** 40 episodes across 13 seasons. This is a floor, because the source records at most ten voice credits per episode.

## Character

Her reports have a flat, nasal delivery. Alex Borstein has described the delivery as presentation with nothing behind it. When colleagues hand over to her on air, they attach an ethnicity to her name.

## Relationships

- **Workplace:** Channel 5 news team in Quahog. The source page does not name individual colleagues.

## Common errors to avoid

- **Her ethnicity is stated.** Colleagues usually introduce her as an Asian reporter; the film *Stewie Griffin: The Untold Story* identifies her as Japanese.
- **She is a field reporter, not the anchor.** Her role is reporting from the scene.

## Key episodes

- S02E03 Da Boom: first appearance
- S15E08 Carter and Tricia
- S18E05 Cat Fight: latest credited appearance
