Kristi Bingham

Description
Kristi Bingham, later known professionally as Kristi Kang, is an American voice actress primarily associated with English dubs of anime produced by Funimation. Born Kristi Lynn Bingham on March 24, 1984, she is a native of Arlington, Texas, and an alumna of the University of Texas at Arlington. In addition to her voice acting career, she has also worked as a yoga instructor in the Arlington and Mansfield, Texas area.

Her career in voice acting began around 2007, and she has been credited under both her birth name, Kristi Bingham, and her married name, Kristi Kang, following her marriage in 2011. This name change is evident in her filmography; for example, she is credited as Kristi Bingham for her early work on the series Fairy Tail but as Kristi Kang for later episodes of the same show. One of her early roles credited under Kristi Bingham is Rin Hiroishi in the OVA series Master of Martial Hearts.

Bingham's body of work includes a wide range of significant and recurring roles in major anime series. She is perhaps best known for voicing Levy McGarden in the long-running series Fairy Tail. Other prominent roles include Irina Shido in the High School DxD series, Maria Takayama in Haganai, Kyoka Kanejo in B Gata H Kei, and Miharu Shimizu in Baka and Test. Her versatility is further demonstrated by parts in series such as Assassination Classroom as Yuzuki Fuwa, One Piece as Tamachibi, and A Certain Scientific Railgun as Kinuho Wannai.

Throughout her career, she has been a frequent collaborator with the Funimation voice acting pool, working alongside many regulars from that studio. Her contributions to English-dubbed anime also include voice work in films such as Wolf Children, Fafner in the Azure: Heaven and Earth, and One Piece Film: Gold. Beyond acting, she has also participated in commentary tracks for several series, including Haganai and Red Data Girl, offering insights into the dubbing process.
