Kira Buckland grew up way up north in Anchorage, Alaska, which is about as far away as you can get from Hollywood—both literally and, you know, in spirit. She kicked off her voice acting journey back in 2004, just doing gigs online with indie creators (before everyone and their dog wanted to be a voice actor, mind you). Fast forward to 2011, she packed up and moved to L.A., chasing the dream like so many before her. Turns out, she’s got some serious pipes—she’s voiced a ridiculous number of characters in anime and games. Seriously, you’ve 100% heard her work even if you didn’t realize it. She’s always jetting around to cons, meeting fans, living the voice actor life. 2021 was the big year for her—landed her dream role as Jolyne Cujoh in JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure. Yeah, that JoJo. But don’t box her in, she’s all over the place: Demon Slayer, Genshin Impact, NieR:Automata, Zenless Zone Zero, Pokemon, Fire Emblem, Street Fighter, Soulcalibur, Edens Zero, Ace Attorney, YashaHime, Dead or Alive—the list is nuts. She’s not just a voice behind the mic either. Kira helped start the Voice Acting Club, which is kind of a big deal online for actors trying to break into the scene. Oh, and she owns a freakin’ 1983 DeLorean, just in case you thought she couldn’t get any cooler. Add five cats, a slight Pokemon GO obsession, roller skating, makeup tutorials, and Twitch streaming as a cow VTuber named Josie McFly, and, well, you’ve got Kira in a nutshell.
She’s pretty much a legend in the gaming world—people instantly recognize her the second she starts talking. You know that voice that just sticks in your head long after you’ve shut off the console? That’s her. She’s lent her vocal chops to a wild range of characters, from badass warriors to quirky sidekicks, and somehow always nails it. It’s not just the big titles either; she pops up in indie gems and cult favorites, so even the most hardcore fans get those “wait, that’s her again?” moments. Gamers will argue for hours about her best roles, and honestly, it’s tough to pick just one. Her voice has this weird magic—makes you care about the character even if you’re not paying attention to the story. She’s not just some random name in the credits, either. She’s got a massive fanbase, and people basically lose their minds at conventions when she shows up. Voice acting royalty, no question.
