Voiced by Alex Borstein. ## Facts | Fact | Detail | | --- | --- | | Household | Quahog 5 News | | Role | Field reporter (draft, awaiting review) | | First appearance | [Da Boom](https://familyguy.co.uk/episodes/s02e03-da-boom/) (S02E03, 26 December 1999) | | Wikidata | [Q16324808](https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q16324808) | ## About Tricia Takanawa is a field reporter for Channel 5, the television station in Quahog. Alex Borstein voices her. Her colleagues introduce her on air with her ethnicity attached to her name, and the film Stewie Griffin: The Untold Story settles that she is Japanese. She files her reports in a flat, nasal register, a delivery Borstein has described as presentation with nothing behind it. Her first appearance is "Da Boom". ## Credited appearances Credited in the principal cast or guest list of 40 episodes across 13 seasons. IMDb records up to ten voice credits per episode, so this is a floor, not a full list. ### Season 2 - S02E03 [Da Boom](https://familyguy.co.uk/episodes/s02e03-da-boom/) (voiced by Alex Borstein) - S02E04 [Brian in Love](https://familyguy.co.uk/episodes/s02e04-brian-in-love/) (voiced by Alex Borstein) - S02E05 [Love Thy Trophy](https://familyguy.co.uk/episodes/s02e05-love-thy-trophy/) (voiced by Alex Borstein) - S02E06 [Death Is a Bitch](https://familyguy.co.uk/episodes/s02e06-death-is-a-bitch/) (voiced by Alex Borstein) - S02E10 [Running Mates](https://familyguy.co.uk/episodes/s02e10-running-mates/) (voiced by Alex Borstein) - S02E18 [E.
