Christy Carlson Romano is an American actress and voice artist known for her work in animation and video games. In the realm of anime-related projects, she is recognized for providing the English voice of the character Yuffie Kisaragi. Romano originated the role of Yuffie for the English dub of the animated film Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children, a sequel to the popular Japanese role-playing game. She also voiced the same character in the crossover video game Kingdom Hearts, developed by Square Enix and Disney. For these performances, she is credited as the first English voice actress for Yuffie Kisaragi. Her tenure with the character spanned these early projects before other actresses were later cast in subsequent installments of the Final Fantasy VII compilation series.
Beyond her work on Final Fantasy and Kingdom Hearts, Romano has an extensive and notable career in voice acting, primarily for Western animation. Her most prominent voice role is the title character in the Disney Channel animated series Kim Possible. Her performance as the teen heroine earned her a Daytime Emmy Award nomination. Her other voice credits include guest roles on animated series such as Family Guy and The Penguins of Madagascar, as well as roles in the animated series Big Hero 6: The Series and films like Casper's Scare School. While her work on Kim Possible is her most celebrated voice role, her contributions to English-language dubs of Japanese properties remain a significant part of her voice acting portfolio, with her portrayal of Yuffie Kisaragi serving as a key example.
