ANIHK 編輯部Preface: The Unsung Heroes Behind Giving "Master" a Voice
In "Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation," the Water King-class magician "Roxy Migurdia" has become a "goddess" and inspirational mentor in the hearts of countless viewers with her gentle, resolute, and wise image. Beyond the character's inherent charm, the voice actresses who give her a soul are indispensable. Both the original Japanese voice and the Taiwanese Mandarin dub accurately interpret Roxy's petite appearance and mature inner self. This article will provide an in-depth introduction to the two voice actresses from Japan and Taiwan who lent their voices to this legendary character—Konomi Kohara and Lian Siyu—and introduce you to their charm and representative works.
Japanese Voice Actress: Konomi Kohara
The Japanese original voice for Roxy is provided by popular Japanese voice actress Konomi Kohara. With her clear and nuanced vocal tone, she perfectly portrays the calmness Roxy possesses as a long-lived Demon race member, as well as the occasional clumsiness and cuteness she displays. In promotional interviews, Kohara mentioned that Roxy, as Rudy's master, grows spiritually while teaching him, and this interactive relationship resonated deeply with her.
Kohara's Rise and Representative Works: Kohara, who became interested in anime during middle school, gained attention in 2017 with her roles as "Akane Mizuno" in "Tsuki ga Kirei" and the heroine "Kokori" in the new version of "Magical Circle Guru Guru." Subsequently, her role as "Kaguya-sama: Love Is War" 's "Chika Fujiwara," with her天真活泼 voice and the iconic "Secretary Dance," sparked widespread discussion and boosted her popularity further.
Her vocal range is versatile; she can handle calm and gentle mentor roles like Roxy, as well as perfectly portray energetic girls like "Yoshida Yūko" in "The Demon Girl Next Door." In June 2024, Kohara even came to Taiwan to hold a fan meeting, interacting closely with fans, demonstrating her high popularity in Taiwan.
Taiwanese Mandarin Voice Actress: Lian Siyu
In the Taiwanese Mandarin dub of "Mushoku Tensei," the voice actress for Roxy is Lian Siyu. However, in the version licensed by Muse Communication, she also voices another important heroine, "Eris Boreas Greyrat," showcasing her impressive ability to switch between vocal tones. (Note: According to data from Moegirl Encyclopedia, the Taiwanese voice actress for Roxy is listed as Xue Qing, but this information conflicts with recent discussions on platforms like Bahamut and media reports; this article follows the more recent information.)
Lian Siyu's Dubbing Career and Diverse Development: Lian Siyu has admired Japanese anime since childhood and, after graduating from university, with her family's support, went to a specialized school in Japan to study voice acting courses, receiving formal actor training. After returning to Taiwan, she officially entered the dubbing industry and has since accumulated over ten years of rich experience.
Her dubbing works span anime, drama, and games, with her vocal tones being highly recognizable and adaptable. Besides "Mushoku Tensei," her representative works include "Rem" in "Re:Zero − Starting Life in Another World," "Anya Forger" in "Spy × Family," "Aura" in "Frieren: Beyond Journey's End," and "Mash" in "Fate/Grand Order Absolute Demonic Front: Babylonia." Whether it's the天真可爱 Anya or the冷酷 Aura, she can handle them perfectly, demonstrating her profound skill as a professional voice actress.
Conclusion: Perfect Interpretation Across Languages
Both Konomi Kohara and Lian Siyu, through their professional skills and deep understanding of the character, have infused unique vitality into the role of "Roxy." Kohara delicately portrays Roxy's wisdom and gentleness as a "master," while Lian Siyu, under the challenging task of voicing two roles simultaneously, still delivers a stable performance. It is precisely because of their brilliant performances that "Mushoku Tensei" fans worldwide, regardless of which language version they listen to, can feel Roxy's timeless and unique charm.
