more singers who are synonymous with a franchise/series? (if any-one can & wants to answer)

the only singers i can think of right-now are:

hironobu kageyama - dragon-ball z

&

kouji wada - digimon

i think

i don't think pokemon counts.

In Pokemon Rica Matsumoto might be considered synonymous with the series to an extent, since she played the lead character for over 1000 episodes and sang more openings than anyone else ranging from Rival to the XYZ opening. Idk who sang the most openings in the English version but most of the ones before the voice acting team change from 4Kids to the other company sounded the same.

that could be but rica matsumoto is also seiyuu 1st right?! (if i can ask)

if we only go by how many songs some-one sang (which i don't think is necessarily equal to q i'm asking i think) then couldn't mai kuraki be for detective-conan (if i can ask)?

on a kind-of same note i think ai maeda & ayumi miyazaki, if considering only singers, can be for digimon too if only looking at how many songs. here tho i think they rly can be considered the same way kouji wada is for digimon.

Nobuo Yamada is highly synonymous with Saint Seiya, having performed not just the original opening/ending, but several tracks on the albums and returning to perform the ending song of the film Heaven Chapter: Overture as well as a new version of Pegasus Fantasy for Saint Seiya Omega. Akira Kushida is also similar with Kinnikuman, having performed all the openings of the series' original run and several tracks on the albums. The same can be said of his association with Toriko, even if it was nowhere near the same scale of quantity or popularity as Kinnikuman.

It was probably due to contract reasons, considering all of the cast were recast for Scramble For the Throne other than Kinnikuman himself and even he got recast for Kinnikuman Nisei, as there was quite a few years between the original anime ending and the Throne Arc being animated. He didn't do any songs for the video games, which instead repurposed the original openings he did for the anime.

Mayumi Gojou for Pre-Cure (definitely early-on, but still).

EDIT: And to a some-what lesser extent Yuka Uchiyae, but still very much. Actually there are quite a few singers that are with the series.

4 songs in an anime with a billion songs. Much Wow! Did they do any songs for Gin-Tama CDs that weren't in the featured in the TV-series?
