Brass’s voice actor in Medabots is Masami Suzuki in the Japanese version. In the English dub, publicly accessible cast sources conflict: IMDb’s character credits for the series list Julie Lemieux as Brass, while other dub databases and cast listings associate Susan Laney Dalton with Brass in the original TV run.
For the Japanese version of Medarot / Medabots, the clearest documented answer is Masami Suzuki. Japanese biographical sources list Suzuki among the cast for Medarot and specifically identify her as voicing Brass, alongside other roles in the same series such as Kikuhime and Chidori Tenryou.
Japanese Voice Actor: Masami Suzuki
Date of Birth
July 14, 1972. Japanese biographical sources list Masami Suzuki’s birth date as July 14, 1972.
About Masami
Masami Suzuki is a Japanese voice actress, singer, and stage actress. Japanese sources describe her as being from Chigasaki, Kanagawa, and note that she became especially well known after landing the lead role of Chacha in Akazukin Chacha, which was her professional TV-anime breakout. Her career has also included singing work and stage performance.
For Medabots fans, Suzuki is the Japanese actor most directly tied to Brass, Erika/Arika’s Sailor-Multi-type Medabot. Her Medarot credit is notable because it was not a one-off supporting appearance: Japanese cast records show she voiced Brass and also played other named roles in the series, making her a visible part of the show’s ensemble cast.
Hometown
Chigasaki, Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan. Japanese biographical listings identify Masami Suzuki as being from Chigasaki in Kanagawa Prefecture.
Career Highlights
Masami Suzuki’s most widely recognized career highlights in public biographical sources include:
- Chacha in Akazukin Chacha, identified as her professional TV-anime debut and breakout lead role.
- Amelia in Slayers, one of her best-known long-running franchise roles.
- Brass in Medarot / Medabots, the role most directly relevant to this query.
- Yuki Toyama in Jubei-chan and Otohime Nana in Kochira Katsushika-ku Kameari Kōen-mae Hashutsujo, both listed among her recurring anime credits.
For this article’s search intent, Brass in Medabots is the key role. Japanese cast documentation ties Suzuki directly to the character, which makes her the correct Japanese-language answer to “Brass (Medabots) voice actor.”

Other documented work
Japanese biographical coverage also describes Suzuki as active as a singer and stage actress, not only a voice actor. It notes that she has worked with multiple agencies over time and has also served in teaching roles related to voice acting.
Critical Reception
The clearest public reception pattern around Masami Suzuki is that she is strongly associated with cheerful, distinctive, slightly offbeat characters, with Japanese biographical commentary noting that her personality as a performer and voice helped make her popular. That broader reputation fits well with a character like Brass, who is memorable less for heavy dramatic presence than for being part of Medabots’ quirky ensemble identity.
For Medabots specifically, the public record is much stronger on cast attribution than on standalone critical essays about Brass. What can be said confidently is that Japanese cast documentation consistently places Suzuki in the role, and that Brass remains one of the franchise characters attached to her anime résumé.

English Voice Actor: Susan Laney Dalton
Date of Birth
Not publicly documented in the sources I could verify under the professional name Susan Laney Dalton. A fan-maintained dubbing database gives a date, but I did not find a stronger primary or industry-standard source confirming it, so I’m leaving the birth date unconfirmed here.
About Susan
Because the English credit for Brass is inconsistent across public databases, this profile focuses on Susan Laney Dalton, who appears to be the most likely original-series English dub voice for Brass based on dub-cast listings specific to Medabots. At the same time, IMDb’s character index for the series lists Julie Lemieux as Brass, so this attribution should be treated as best-supported but not fully settled from public sources alone.
Susan Laney Dalton is also credited professionally as Susan Quinn. Behind The Voice Actors has a performer page for Susan Laney Dalton and identifies her most clearly documented Medabots role there as Samantha. IMDb’s page for Susan Quinn describes her as a Canadian actress known for New Waterford Girl, Lexx, and Undergrads, which supports the link between the two professional names used across dub and screen credits.
For Medabots specifically, the main reason she is the better fit than Julie Lemieux for Brass in the original 2001 English TV dub is that dub-specific cast lists place Dalton among the original Toronto dub ensemble and explicitly assign her both Brass and Samantha, while BTVA separately ties Julie Lemieux very clearly to Medabots: Spirits and to other Medabots roles such as later Ikki. That does not fully eliminate the IMDb conflict, but it makes Dalton the more persuasive original-series answer.
Hometown
Newfoundland, Canada. IMDb’s Susan Quinn biography states that she was born in Newfoundland, Canada. I did not find a more specific hometown in the sources I checked.
Career Highlights
Within Medabots, Susan Laney Dalton’s best-documented role is actually Samantha on Behind The Voice Actors, while fan-maintained dub databases additionally credit her with Brass in the original series. That makes Medabots one of the central franchise touchpoints for her voice-work footprint online, even if the exact Brass attribution remains partly disputed.
Outside Medabots, the clearest verifiable credits I found are Kimmy Burton in Undergrads on IMDb and Juanita in Timothy Goes to School on Behind The Voice Actors. Fan-maintained dubbing listings also credit her with Queen and several minor roles in Beyblade.
Full Current Filmography
The list below reflects documented credits I could verify from public sources tied to Susan Laney Dalton / Susan Quinn. Because the available record is fragmented across IMDb, Behind The Voice Actors, and fan-maintained dub databases, this should be read as a documented-credit filmography and may not be exhaustive.
Television animation / anime dubbing
- 2001–2002 — Medabots — Brass (credited in dub-cast databases; public source conflict exists because IMDb’s character index instead lists Julie Lemieux for Brass)
- 2001–2002 — Medabots — Samantha (securely attributed on Behind The Voice Actors)
- 2000–2001 — Timothy Goes to School — Juanita
- 2001 — Undergrads — Kimmy Burton
- 2001–2003 — Beyblade — Queen, plus minor episodic roles in fan-maintained dub listings
Live-action / screen acting
- 1999 — New Waterford Girl — credited performance noted on IMDb biography page
- 1996 — Lexx — credited performance noted on IMDb biography page
Critical Reception
I did not find substantial mainstream criticism focused specifically on Susan Laney Dalton’s voice performances. The public record is much stronger on cast attribution than on reviews or interview coverage. In practical terms, that means the most defensible assessment is that she is a recognizable supporting-player voice in early-2000s Canadian dubbing and children’s animation, with Medabots remaining one of the titles most directly associated with her online.
For Brass in particular, the main reception issue is not critical opinion but credit ambiguity. Since BTVA strongly associates Dalton with Samantha while dub-cast wikis assign her Brass and IMDb assigns Brass to Julie Lemieux, the safest conclusion is that Dalton is the best-supported probable original-series English Brass, but not an absolutely closed case from currently accessible public sources.
