Hange Zoe in Attack on Titan is voiced by Romi Park in the Japanese version and Jessica Calvello in the English dub. Both actors bring an electric, unpredictable energy to the role that suits Hange’s passionate, eccentric personality — a brilliant Scout Regiment leader whose obsessive curiosity about Titans sits somewhere between scientific genius and barely contained chaos.
Romi Park (Japanese Voice Actor)
About Romi
Romi Park is one of the most prominent and versatile voice actresses working in the Japanese anime industry. With a career spanning decades, she has built a reputation for portraying intense, emotionally dynamic characters, and her ability to shift between frantic energy and heartfelt vulnerability has made her a go-to performer for complex roles. Her range extends from young male protagonists to strong-willed adult women, demonstrating a rare flexibility that few voice actors achieve.
As the original voice of Hange Zoe, Romi Park established the performance template that all subsequent dub actors have referenced. Her portrayal captures Hange’s signature blend of manic enthusiasm and genuine emotional depth — from shrieking with excitement over Titan research to delivering some of the series’ most somber moments with quiet authority. Even Jessica Calvello, the English dub voice actor, has publicly acknowledged Park as the definitive “O.G. Hange” and an incomparable talent.
Park has voiced Hange across all 14 documented incarnations of the character in the Attack on Titan franchise, including TV series, OVAs, films, and video games, making her the most consistent and prolific performer associated with the role.
