Florence Pugh, the English actress known for her film roles in productions such as Little Women, Midsommar, and Oppenheimer, has an emerging but notable credit in the field of anime voice acting. Her career in this specific area is currently defined by a single high-profile role in a feature film from a legendary Japanese animation studio.

Pugh's primary and most recognized anime voice role is Kiriko in the English-language dub of Hayao Miyazaki's fantasy film The Boy and the Heron, released in 2023. This Studio Ghibli production marked director Miyazaki's first feature film in a decade and featured a star-studded English voice cast that also included Christian Bale, Robert Pattinson, Willem Dafoe, and Mark Hamill. In the film, Pugh provided the voice for Kiriko, a character who appears as one of the elderly maids working at the estate of the protagonist Mahito. Her role is significant, as Kiriko becomes a guide and helper to Mahito when he enters the film's magical other world, where she also appears as a younger version of herself. Critics and reviewers highlighted her performance as a standout, noting her ability to voice the older, weathered version of the character with convincing authenticity.

Beyond her work in Japanese animation, Pugh has also lent her voice to other animated projects. She voiced the character Goldilocks in the DreamWorks Animation sequel Puss in Boots: The Last Wish, released in 2022. While this is an animated film, it is Western-produced and not typically categorized within the Japanese anime medium. As such, her filmography does not include multiple roles in anime series or films, making her contribution to the genre specific to her work on The Boy and the Heron.

A notable achievement connected to her anime voice work is that The Boy and the Heron became one of the highest-rated films of her career on review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, surpassing other major live-action films in which she has appeared. This success underscores the cultural and critical impact of her debut in the anime voice acting space. However, there is no information available regarding recurring collaborations with specific anime directors, voice directors, or dubbing studios beyond this single project.
