Kirsten Dunst began her career as a voice actor in anime and animation at a young age, with her most renowned role being the English-language voice of the title character in Hayao Miyazaki's Kiki's Delivery Service. She was born on April 30, 1982, and made her feature film debut in 1989 at the age of seven. That same year, she was cast as Kiki, an apprentice witch, for the Disney English dub of the Studio Ghibli film, marking her entry into voice acting for anime. Her performance in this role is noted for capturing the youthful energy and naivety of the character.

In addition to her work on Kiki's Delivery Service, Dunst provided the voice for the young title character in the 1997 animated musical film Anastasia, which, while produced by Fox Animation Studios and not an anime, is a significant role in her animation filmography. She also starred as the voice of the protagonist in the 2003 French-produced computer-animated science fiction film Kaena: The Prophecy, which was released in English under her name. Other voice credits include a role in the English-language dub of the Russian animated feature The Mystery of the Third Planet.

While her career includes several notable animated films, Kiki's Delivery Service remains her most significant and recognized contribution to the anime genre. Her voice acting roles were primarily undertaken in the late 1980s and 1990s, with Kaena: The Prophecy being a later project in the early 2000s. Beyond her voice work, Dunst is widely known for her live-action performances in films such as Interview with the Vampire, for which she received a Golden Globe nomination, the Spider-Man trilogy, and The Virgin Suicides. She won the Cannes Film Festival Award for Best Actress for her role in Melancholia. While she has received critical acclaim for her live-action performances, details regarding recurring collaborations specifically within the anime voice acting industry or awards solely for her voice work in anime are not available.
