Melissa Hutchinson
Description
Melissa Hutchison is an American voice actress who has been active in the industry since 2002. She is widely recognized for her work in video games and animation, with a career that also includes significant contributions to English-dubbed anime.
One of her earliest forays into anime voice acting was her role as Chise in the English dub of the series Saikano. She voiced the character in the original 2002 television series and its side-story original video animation, Saikano: Another Love Song, which was released in 2005. This role as the shy and tragic protagonist marked one of her first major credits in the medium.
Hutchison's anime filmography later expanded to include prominent roles in several high-profile dubs. She voiced Katie Forester, Komasan, and other characters in the long-running Yo-kai Watch series, including its television adaptation and the 2014 film Yo-kai Watch: The Movie. In 2019, she took on the role of Sailor Star Fighter, also known as Seiya Kou, in the Viz Media dub of Sailor Moon Sailor Stars. Her other anime credits include roles in Cannon Busters, Pluto, and Aldnoah.Zero.
While her anime roles form a part of her diverse body of work, Melissa Hutchison is perhaps best known for her iconic performance as Clementine in Telltale Games' The Walking Dead video game series. This role earned her critical acclaim, including the Best Performance by a Female award at the 2013 Spike Video Game Awards and two BAFTA Award nominations for Best Performer. Her extensive video game career also includes voicing Ashe in League of Legends, Merlina in Sonic and the Black Knight, and characters in The Wolf Among Us, among many others. Her work in animation extends to series like Space Racers and films such as Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer 4D Attraction.
