Timeline
Kari Wahlgren (born July 13, 1977) is an American voice actress who has provided English-language roles for animated movies, TV series, and video games.
She got her start in anime voice-overs as Haruko Haruhara in FLCL, and would later land major roles in a number of shows and films: Robin Sena in Witch Hunter Robin, Lavie Head in Last Exile, Fuu in Samurai Champloo, Scarlett in Steamboy, Pacifica Casull in the Scrapped Princess, Saya Otonashi in Blood+, Michiru Satomi and Luca in Immortal Grand Prix, Kagami Hiiragi in Lucky Star, Saber in Fate/zero, Fate/stay night: Unlimited Blade Works and Fate/stay night: Heaven's Feel, and Celty Sturluson in the Durarara!! series.
In American animation, she has provided voices for a number of series including Super Robot Monkey Team Hyperforce Go!, Fish Hooks, Phineas and Ferb, Dorothy and the Wizard of Oz, Ben 10, Kung Fu Panda: Legends of Awesomeness, Kaijudo: Rise of the Duel Masters, Rick and Morty, Bunnicula, The Fairly OddParents, Bunsen Is a Beast, and the Nickelodeon versions of Winx Club and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
She also voiced Baby Scrat in the 2022 Disney+ original series Ice Age: Scrat Tales, produced by Blue Sky Studios.
In video games, she voiced lead characters Ashe in Final Fantasy XII, Shelke in Dirge of Cerberus: Final Fantasy VII, and Raine Sage in Tales of Symphonia.
Wahlgren was born and raised in Hoisington, Kansas.
She was inspired as a child by the Disney Princesses and other voices in animation.
Her parents were teachers, which encouraged her to support charities and organizations that promote reading and education later in her career.
On her eleventh birthday, when she and her family were in California and toured the building for Focus on the Family, she was asked to do a bit role in their radio drama Adventures in Odyssey, as an eleven-year-old character named Gloria McCoy.
Wahlgren graduated from the University of Kansas with a Bachelor of Arts in Theater in 1999.
Wahlgren is of Swedish and Irish descent.
In December 2022, she announced that she was expecting her first child with drummer Bobby Rock that was due in January 2023.
On February 5, 2023, she revealed via Instagram that she had given birth to their son.
Wahlgren lived in Kansas City, Missouri, where she did some radio spots, then moved to Los Angeles in 2000 to work on her acting career.
In an interview in Lawrence Journal-World, she said that she was not getting much on-camera work, so she shifted her energies towards voice-over work, and that her experience with dialogue and Shakespeare classes helped a lot towards landing roles that involved various characters, some of which had accents or were from certain time periods.
Wahlgren's debut anime role was Haruko Haruhara in a six-episode OVA series called FLCL.
In an interview with Anime Tourist, she said that Haruko was the only character she got to audition for.
She depicted her as close to the original dub but with some American interpretation to appeal to the audience, and depending on how she was drawn, she changed her voice range from cartoon and childlike to realistic.
In a later review of the series, Bryce Coulter of Mania.com was impressed by her character work: "she definitely gives Haruko that twenty-something, sarcastic and almost punkish persona."
In live-action works, she starred as Tinkerbell in an indie Peter Pan film rendition called Neverland, released in 2003.
Her character was described as a "sullen sidekick" and "drugged-out".
In 2004, she voiced a starring role in the animated feature film Steamboy, among actors Anna Paquin, Patrick Stewart and Alfred Molina.
She played Scarlett, a teenage granddaughter of the corporation's chairman, described as spoiled and cruel, and generally annoying.
Peter Sanderson of IGN called Scarlett one of the most obnoxious characters he has ever encountered, and hardly stands up to her movie equivalent.
She voiced Chika Minazuki in Ai Yori Aoshi, a little cousin character.
Way Jeng of Mania.com described her performance as energetic, yet innocent and simple, but contrasting to Wendee Lee's voicing of Tina Foster.
In 2005, she voiced the female lead character Fuu Kasumi in Samurai Champloo.
Carlo Santos of Anime News Network thought the characters sounded "well-suited to their personalities", but was concerned that Fuu "falls into the habit of sounding like every other ditzy anime girl out there."
In the James Bond video game From Russia with Love, released in 2005, she voiced a Bond girl that was paired with Sean Connery's original voice.
In 2006, she landed leading roles of Ashe in Final Fantasy XII and Shelke in Dirge of Cerberus – Final Fantasy VII.
In Scrapped Princess, she voices the title character Pacifica Casull, who is hunted down because of a prophecy where she would cause the destruction of the world if she lives to see her 16th birthday.
Theron Martin called her acting of "Pacifica's brattiness and deep sensitivity solidly pegged", although it is different from her Japanese counterpart as it "lacks some of the poutiness", and takes some time to get used to.
Wahlgren has been involved in a number of video games.
Her first voice-over role in video games was in Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Chaos Bleeds where she played Willow Rosenberg.
In 2018, she voiced in the new FLCL seasons, including as main character Haruha Raharu in FLCL: Progressive and reprising Haruko in FLCL: Alternative.
Wahlgren's next major anime dub role was in Witch Hunter Robin, where she played the title character Robin Sena, a soft-spoken girl who joins a group of witch hunters, but harbors some magic abilities of her own.
Zac Bertschy of Anime News Network said she was "pleasant, subtle and perfect for the role" and wished the supporting voice cast would demonstrate such subtleties.
She voiced lead character Lavie Head in the steampunk fantasy series Last Exile.
Allen Divers of Anime News Network grouped her with the "better known names of the California voice-acting scene".
She voiced title character Sakura Kinomoto in Bang Zoom!'s dubbing of Cardcaptor Sakura Movie 2: The Sealed Card, which Divers praised that "the voice actors did a great job of matching the emotions of the original Japanese voices, including Sakura's trademark expression 'Hoe!'", something that was missing in previous English adaptations.
