Karylle
Description
Karylle is a Filipino singer, actress, and television host who has also performed voice work for anime, specifically for the Tagalog-language dubbed version of the series Lovedol ~Lovely Idol~. Her birth name is Ana Karylle Padilla Tatlonghari, and she was born on March 22, 1981, in Manila, Philippines. While she is widely known for her extensive career in live-action television, film, music, and theater, her role as a voice actress for an anime series represents a distinct facet of her performance career.
Karylle provided the voice for a character in the Tagalog dub of Lovedol ~Lovely Idol~. Although one source credits her with the role of Hina Houjou, an interview at the time of the series' broadcast on the Philippine cable channel Hero TV identifies her as voicing the character Mizuki, the headstrong leader of a girl group within the story. In this interview, she described Mizuki as having a distinctive appearance with violet hair and large pink ribbons, and she noted that she could relate to the character's struggles and insecurities as a creative individual, drawing a parallel to her own experience writing songs for her music album.
Her entry into anime dubbing was part of her broader work in the entertainment industry. Around the same period, she was also a judge and later a regular host on the noontime variety show Showtime. For her dubbing work on Lovedol ~Lovely Idol~, she received training from a dubbing coach, Lucy Quinto, for her film Dalaw, which helped her learn to fully immerse herself in a scene while in the recording studio. Karylle noted that her background as a singer was an asset for voice acting, although she found the fast-paced delivery style common in anime to be a challenge that required proper breathing technique. Her approach to the craft involved physically acting out the scenes in front of a monitor to make her vocal delivery more realistic.
Beyond this specific project, information about a sustained career as an anime voice actor, including recurring collaborations with dubbing studios or directors and a broader list of voice roles, is not documented in the available sources. Her professional profile is overwhelmingly defined by her achievements in other areas of Filipino entertainment.
