The list below reflects documented credits available from Mone Kamishiraishi’s official profile and agency filmography as of March 20, 2026.

Stage
Kamishiraishi’s official profile also documents a substantial theater career. The source page visible here confirms her award-winning stage status, but the full stage section is longer than the excerpts retrieved in search. Her official profile should be treated as the primary source for current stage credits, including major productions that contributed to awards such as the Yomiuri Theater Awards Best Actress.
Music / Other Screen Work
Her official profile additionally catalogs regular television appearances, narration work, music releases, advertising work, and other media projects through 2026, confirming that her career is multi-platform rather than limited to acting alone.
Critical Reception
Critical reception to Kamishiraishi’s performance as Mitsuha is closely tied to the reception of Your Name itself. RogerEbert.com praised the film as a “beautiful, captivating piece of work” and positioned Mitsuha as one of the story’s essential emotional centers. Slant Magazine similarly argued that the film’s romantic power depends on how delicately it develops the longing of Mitsuha and Taki. Those responses align with the industry recognition Kamishiraishi received when she won Best Actress at the 11th Seiyu Awards for Your Name.

English Voice Actor: Stephanie Sheh
Date of Birth
April 10, 1977. Stephanie Sheh’s birth date is listed by multiple industry-facing public sources, including Behind The Voice Actors and IMDb. Her birthplace is commonly given as Kalamazoo, Michigan, United States.
About Stephanie
Stephanie Sheh is an American voice actress, ADR director, writer, producer, and casting professional whose English-dub work spans anime, games, animation, and film. For Your Name, she voiced Mitsuha Miyamizu in the English dub, making her the performer most English-speaking viewers associate with the character. Her official homepage describes her as an actress, writer, and director, while public industry databases consistently identify her as one of the most recognizable English dub leads of her generation.
Sheh’s career is especially notable because it crosses both performance and production. In addition to starring roles, she has also worked as a voice director and ADR creative, which helps explain her long-running presence across major anime localizations. Public summaries of her career repeatedly highlight roles such as Hinata Hyuga in Naruto, Orihime Inoue in Bleach, and Usagi Tsukino / Sailor Moon in the Viz dub of Sailor Moon, alongside Mitsuha in Your Name.
Hometown
Stephanie Sheh was born in Kalamazoo, Michigan, and public biographies state that she was raised in California, with several sources specifying Northern California. I was able to verify the birthplace consistently, but a single official hometown phrasing was not publicly documented in the sources I checked, so “Kalamazoo-born, raised in California” is the most accurate wording here.
Career Highlights
For anime audiences, Sheh’s most defining roles include Mitsuha Miyamizu in Your Name, Hinata Hyuga in Naruto, Orihime Inoue in Bleach, Usagi Tsukino / Sailor Moon in the Viz dub of Sailor Moon, Yui Hirasawa in K-On!, Mikuru Asahina in The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, Eureka in Eureka Seven, and Illyasviel von Einzbern in the Fate franchise. These are the performances most consistently foregrounded in public reference sources and fan-facing industry guides.
Her work also extends well beyond anime dubbing. Her official site notes credits in videogames and Western animation, including the Resident Evil franchise, while public databases list later credits in projects such as DC Super Hero Girls, The Legend of Korra, Star Wars: Visions, Sonic X Shadow Generations: Dark Beginnings, and Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft. That breadth is a large part of why she remains such a prominent English-language voice actor.
Full Current Filmography
The list below reflects documented public credits verified from Stephanie Sheh’s official homepage, Behind The Voice Actors, and major public filmography sources available as of March 20, 2026. Because English-dub credits are spread across multiple databases and some supporting, recurring, additional-voice, directing, and casting credits vary by source, this should be treated as a source-based documented filmography rather than a guaranteed exhaustive master list.

Video Games
Stephanie Sheh’s official homepage notes that she has voiced characters in games including the Resident Evil franchise and titles such as Devil May Cry 4, alongside extensive anime dub work.
Public filmography summaries also document later game roles including the following:
Resident Evil franchise — Rebecca Chambers. Her official homepage explicitly identifies her as the current voice of Rebecca Chambers.
Devil May Cry 4 — publicly listed on her official homepage among game credits.
BioShock 2 — publicly listed on her official homepage among game credits.

2025 — Silent Hill f — Kimie Shimizu.
2026 — Trails in the Sky 2nd Chapter — Estelle Bright.
2026 — Danganronpa 2×2 — Mikan Tsumiki. Public fan-wiki indexing attributes this to a March 2026 announcement; because this particular citation is from a fan-maintained source, treat it as lower-confidence than the items above until matched against a primary announcement.
Critical Reception
Stephanie Sheh’s reputation is strongest in English-dub fandom and industry circles rather than in long-form mainstream criticism focused on individual performances. Public career summaries consistently single out her work on Naruto, Bleach, Sailor Moon, and Your Name, which suggests broad recognition across several generations of anime viewers. Behind The Voice Actors’ public profile likewise frames her as best known for Hinata Hyuga, Orihime Inoue, and Tharja, indicating the depth of audience association with her performances.
For Mitsuha specifically, the most reliable public confirmation is casting documentation rather than a large volume of standalone critical essays about the dub performance. Still, being cast as the English voice of the female lead in Your Name places Sheh inside one of the most internationally visible anime films of the decade, and that role continues to appear in public cast references and convention materials years after release.
