Following up on this post with research on the vocals of a WarioWare song, I noticed a strange convergence with the credited roles of Kyoko Watanabe and WarioWare composer Kyoko Miyamoto:

WarioWare, Inc. Mega Microgames (March 2003)
Kyoko Miyamoto: game design, music composition
Kyoko Watanabe: voices

WarioWare, Inc. Mega Party Games (October 2003)
Kyoko Miyamoto: GBA WarioWare (just a legacy credit)
Kyoko Watanabe: game design, voices

WarioWare Twisted (October 2004)
Kyoko Watanabe: game design, voice

WarioWare Touched (December 2004)
Kyoko Miyamoto: game design, voice acting

WarioWare D.I.Y./D.I.Y. Showcase (April 2009)
Kyoko Watanabe: script, game contents


Could they be one and the same? Sennen kazoku has a caricature of Miyamoto for her credit as music composer:



Other than that, I have nothing on her. She's not credited with her kanji name anywhere, so I can't tell whether it's the same as Watanabe's. The other Watanabe photo we have looks similar to Miyamoto's caricature but it's a stretch either way.

Kyoko Miyamoto also did some of the music for Sakura Momoko No Uki-Uki Carnival, made by Nintendo and the studio that worked on Sennen Kazoku. I have no idea if she's distinct from Kyoko Watanabe, though.

I finally solved the mystery! Kyoko Miyamoto and Kyoko Watanabe are two completely different people. In the manual of Sennen Kazoku (https://www.nintendo.co.jp/data/soft...l_WUPNPDCJ.pdf, credits on page 18), it has the staff list in kanji, which shows that Miyamoto's name is spelled as 宮本 京子. So now, it seems that we can put this to rest.
