Mitsuki Saiga is a Japanese voice actress recognized for a deep, versatile voice across major anime and game franchises, including the role of Rossiu Adai in Gurren Lagann.
Saiga voiced Rossiu Adai, the village boy turned political leader who becomes one of the series' most morally complicated figures, for the Japanese-language broadcast of Gurren Lagann. Her low, androgynous vocal register suited a character written to sound calm and reasoned even as his choices grow darker. The performance contributed to a Best Supporting Actress win at the 2nd Seiyuu Awards, shared with two other 2008 roles.
Saiga is best known for playing Maria Ross in Fullmetal Alchemist and the shape-shifting Kuranosuke Koibuchi in Princess Jellyfish, roles that showcase her ability to cross gender lines convincingly. In games she voiced Tiz Arrior in Bravely Default and Mòrag in Xenoblade Chronicles 2, and she is signed with Ken Production.
