Khaleesi Lambert-Tsuda

Khaleesi Lambert-Tsuda grew up with salty hair and sandy toes in Kaneohe, Hawaii, right there on Oahu. Basically, if you blinked, she was probably already halfway down the beach or up a tree. She landed the gig as the voice of Simea—Moana’s spunky little sister in Moana 2—and honestly, it’s kind of perfect. Khaleesi’s got the same fiery streak that Simea does. She’s the kind of kid who lights up a room, cracks a joke, and then runs off to help her friends. Family? Friends? Huge deal to her. Her backyard was basically the entire Kaneohe Bay, so she learned to swim before she could probably spell “surf.” The ocean’s her second home. If she’s not out in the water, she’s flipping around in gymnastics, throwing kicks in Tae Kwon Do, or working up a sweat in kickboxing. Sitting still? Not really her thing. What’s cool is that Khaleesi brings all that wild energy and heart straight into her work. She gets the whole “ohana means family” thing because, well, that’s literally her life. It’s not just about pretending on a microphone—she genuinely gets what it’s like to love your people and stand up for them. So, when you hear Simea laugh, shout, or stand her ground in Moana 2, there’s a real spark behind it. That’s Khaleesi. She’s not just playing a role. She’s living it, island spirit and all.
