Hey I was just wondering is there a character in the movie by this name or did they just choose to name it that?

It's not a name but a title. "Mononoke" means demons formed by animals, plants, or even lifeless objects. After accumulating enough spirit energy they become sentient. While most human fight against mononoke, San was adopted by one and later fights alongside them, so Eboshi Gozen and her people nicknamed San "Mononoke Hime."

Princess Mononoke was the only anime in which I noticed the voice acting (english dub). Using Billy Bob Thornton (Jigo), Minnie Driver (Eboshi), Jada Pinkett-Smith (Toki) really made their characters seem unique, unlike any other characters in anime. Why would they make the characters really noticeable, while other anime characters are only distinguishable in terms (how would I explain this) of that world, like in their characterization and such. Did anyone else notice this?
I would get that they're accomplished actors already, but I don't think that that alone would make those characters that unique.
