The character is voiced by singer Kaho Nakamura in the film's original Japanese and by Kylie McNeill in its English dub, and both musicians perform the songs that are given to Belle in the anime.
Suzu Naito is a third-year high school (12th grade) student who lives in the rural Kōchi prefecture of Japan. Shy and introverted, she is known to the online universe as the beloved digital popstar, Belle. She is voiced by Kaho Nakamura in the Japanese version and by Kylie McNeill in the English dub.
Our protagonist, Suzu, is a 17-year old high school girl, who lives in the countryside of Kochi Prefecture with her father, after losing her mother at a young age. She loves singing with her mother more than anything else, but as a result of her mother's death was no longer able to sing.
In the film, Watson did her own dancing and singing, which was challenging at times. "It's something I've always done and always loved to do, but to do it in such a beloved musical and when the songs are so well-known, I think I really felt the weight of that," Watson said.

Can Suzu actually sing in Belle?
Throughout the movie, Suzu Naito is physically incapable of singing, even to herself. This is related to a past experience where she lost her mother, which also caused her to close herself off from the world. The only way she can sing is in the virtual world of U under the alias Belle.
The film ended with no resolution as to where the boys would go. There's no way that the father was persuaded to stop abusing his kids because he was intimidated out of it in a public place one time. In fact, he's likely to be even angrier at them than usual for putting him in that position.
Benson has continued to reprise her role as Ariel in most Disney-related media, including the animated television series House of Mouse (in which she also voiced Belle from Beauty and the Beast on behalf of Paige O'Hara).
In the Disney animated classic "Beauty and the Beast," the curse on the Prince is depicted as lasting until his 21st birthday. The enchantress who cursed him gave him until the last petal fell from the enchanted rose to find true love and break the curse.
Suzu and Hiro work to find out the Dragon's real identity and warn him before Justin finds him first. They find a live video feed of Tomo singing a song only Belle and the Dragon know, and realize that he is the angel avatar and the Dragon is his older brother Kei, who's being constantly abused by their father.
Suzu is 17 and in her 3rd year of high school, Kei is 14 so he's either in his last year of middle or first year of high school, Tomo's age isn't specified but he should be around 10 and his dad probably doesn't have him in school.
Watson reportedly made $3 million upfront for her turn as Belle in Disney's live-action Beauty and the Beast in 2017. Thanks to box office bonuses on film, which earned $1.27 billion in grosses on a $160 million budget, she is believed to have made an additional $12 million for a total of $15 million.
Paige O'Hara's an American actress, singer & painter. She was born on May 10, 1956 in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida as Donna Paige Helmintoller. She's best known as the voice of Belle in Beauty and the Beast (1991)
"Emma Watson was our first -- and really our only -- choice for Belle," director Bill Condon said, "for a lot of reasons: her talent, her beauty, her intelligence." He also said that the actress is similar to Belle because she is strong and independent.
Yamashita that was Anime style. In the beginning, it was hard to choose one. Belle was set as As whose appearance was based on the main character's classmate "Ruka." We figured that would mean more of the elements of Anime would come through and decided to reproduce Mr. Yamashita's designs.
His new film, Belle, is about how the internet has introduced the possibility of multiple selves, in multiple worlds. Released in the US Friday, Belle follows Suzu Naito as she contends with newfound fame as a pop star in the virtual world U. Online, Hosoda notes, "people can explore other possibilities.
She was a victim of the plague (The "Black Death") in Paris when Belle was only an infant. Before Belle's mother died, she told Maurice to get himself and their daughter away from the plague to safety. Reluctantly obliging to her words, Maurice and Belle moved from Paris to Villeneuve.
Belle's early look in "Beauty and the Beast" was considered too glamorous to be relatable. In "Disney Princess: Beyond the Tiara," voice actor Paige O'Hara compared early concept art to Angelina Jolie. Belle was described as looking "a little too perfect." Animators changed her appearance, accordingly.
In the film, Meg sold her soul to Hades in order to save the life of her beloved boyfriend, who she was madly in love with. Unfortunately, shortly afterward, he left her for some other woman, abandoning her and leaving her heartbroken and a prisoner of Hades.
Lacey Chabert voiced Meg in season 1 of Family Guy but was replaced by Mila Kunis, who has since become synonymous with the character. Chabert left the show amicably to focus on other projects and was not credited for her work as the original Meg.
The Whales are the Five Voices of U, and the watch over Belle. While we only see four whales in U, the fact Belle rides them every time she gains untold popularity or attention does speak volumes that they are more important than mere story props.
This type of framing immerses the two characters (and the spectators) in a great intimacy (although they are not alone) and it is typically the kind of cinematographic code that one finds in couples / romantic duos. Yes, Beauty (Suzu) and the Beast (Kei) aren't really in love.
