Yasmien Kurdi is a Filipina actress, singer, and recording artist who performed the voice of the character Rukia Kuchiki in the Tagalog-language dub of the anime series Bleach and its accompanying films. Her work as a voice actor is a facet of a broader career in Philippine entertainment, where she rose to prominence after being a finalist on the reality-based talent show StarStruck.

Kurdi’s most significant and defining anime voice role is that of Rukia Kuchiki, a Soul Reaper and a central character in the series Bleach. She provided the character’s voice for the Philippine adaptation of the show, which aired on GMA Network. Her tenure voicing Rukia spanned six years, beginning in the mid-2000s when the network first broadcast the series. In addition to the television series, Kurdi also voiced Rukia in the 2009 film Bleach: Memories of Nobody, marking her last movie project for several years. Beyond her work on Bleach, there is no record of other anime voice acting roles, indicating this was a specific, albeit sustained, project in her career.

Kurdi expressed pride in her association with the character and the series. While visiting the Kyoto International Manga Museum in Japan years later, she reflected on her experience as the Tagalog voice of Rukia and shared her openness to reprising the role should the opportunity arise. Her work remains notable as the definitive Filipino vocal performance for one of the most prominent characters in the Bleach franchise.
