Might that be spoiler[Conan's voice changing device from Detective Conan]? That's the first thing that comes to mind for me at least.

Anyway, here is the next character. Sorry for the delay.

After looking it up, my mini-game guess seems wrong. I'm curious to find out what it was. spoiler[It definitely give the impression to me of something to change someone's voice (or it seems to have two areas that could be a microphone and speaker respectively)].

You were on the right track. spoiler[It's one of the Detective Boy badges. It's a little tricky because this is a pic of the back with the covering off, but you can still see part of the 'B'. And you were right about the speaker and microphone, they use these badges to communicate, like walkie-talkies.]

That's correct. I had figured you would be the person to guess this since I know you've watched that anime.

I'm ashamed that it took a hint for me to put a name to that face.

The combination of Hint #2 and (believe it or not) the background allowed me to pin down the source series, but boy, pinning down her exact name was hard, as info on this one is thin in English. I actually had to watch an episode: spoiler[Yuuko Yamazaki from Showa Monogatari].

That is correct! Not a well known show indeed, and more's the pity. The "Leisurely Walk" sections at the end of many episodes, where they do a travelogue-style visit to the modern-day areas of the city that were shown in the anime, are a special treat. And the show provides an excellent reminder that there is no guarantee that every slice in a "slice of life" series has to be a pleasant one.
