This will be the first appearance for Kugimiya, who has voice acted for over 25 years, playing iconic roles like Alphonse Elric in Fullmetal Alchemist, Kagura in Gintama, Happy in Fairy Tail, and Rise Kujikawa in Persona 4. Kugimiya has voiced over 300 roles since 1992. Her US debut appearance at Anime NYC will include a free panel on the main stage and a paid autograph signing, both on Sunday, November 17th.
Kugimiya has been nicknamed the “Queen of Tsundere” by fans due to the number of roles she played as the character type.
