Kristen McGuire

Kristen McGuire is best known to genre fans for voicing Milim Nava, the powerful demon lord in Reincarnated as a Slime, and Akane Kurokawa, the actress at the center of Oshi no Ko. Those two roles anchor her profile as an English dub voice actress. She has built a career spanning more than a decade of anime dubbing.

In the English dub of Solo Leveling, Kristen McGuire voices Mari Ishida. The role adds another credit to a dubbing career built through Funimation over more than a decade. It sits alongside the wider English-language cast assembled for the series.

Kristen McGuire's path into voice acting began in comic book art, before Funimation brought her into the dubbing booth. That transition launched a dub career that has run for more than a decade, including her current role as Mari Ishida in Solo Leveling.

Beyond Solo Leveling, Kristen McGuire voices Ruri in Dr. Stone and Chiyo Kurihara in Prison School. She also plays the title character in The Helpful Fox Senko-san and Alice in The Duke of Death and His Maid. That work spans both Funimation and Sentai Studios productions.

Kristen McGuire, born in 1985, has worked as a voice actress since 2013. That gives her more than a decade in the English dub industry by the time of her Solo Leveling casting as Mari Ishida. Her career began after an earlier stint as a comic book artist.
