Sarada Uchiha in Boruto: Naruto Next Generations is voiced by Kokoro Kikuchi in the original Japanese version. In the English dub, the character is voiced by Cherami Leigh. TV Tokyo’s official Boruto cast page lists Kikuchi as Sarada, and public franchise voice-role databases list Leigh as the English dub voice most associated with the character.
Japanese Voice Actor: Kokoro Kikuchi
Date of Birth
November 9, 1982. Public profile sources list Kokoro Kikuchi’s birth date as November 9, 1982. I did not retrieve a detailed official agency profile page exposing her full bio in the search results, so this date here is based on public filmography summaries rather than a primary personal profile.
About Kokoro
Kokoro Kikuchi is a Japanese voice actress best known for voicing energetic young characters and franchise heirs, which makes Sarada Uchiha one of the most search-relevant roles in her career. TV Tokyo’s official Boruto cast page lists her directly as Sarada, confirming her as the core Japanese performer for the character in the anime series.
Public career summaries also associate Kikuchi with major roles such as Mikochi in Hakumei and Mikochi, Misaki Yata (child) in K, Akito / Agito / Lind Wanijima in Air Gear, and, more recently, Momoko Sakura / Maruko in Chibi Maruko-chan beginning in 2024. That range shows she has stayed active across both supporting and lead-profile franchise roles.
Hometown
Public profile sources list Kokoro Kikuchi as being from Tokyo, Japan. I was not able to verify a more detailed hometown from an official profile page in the retrieved results.
Career Highlights
The key credit for this query is Sarada Uchiha in Boruto. TV Tokyo’s official cast page lists Kikuchi as Sarada in the anime, and Behind The Voice Actors’ franchise page shows her as the Japanese voice across the TV series, movie, OVA, and game entries. That long continuity is the strongest public evidence that her performance is the definitive Japanese version of Sarada for most viewers.
Outside Boruto, Kikuchi is publicly documented for Akito / Agito / Lind Wanijima in Air Gear, Mikochi in Hakumei and Mikochi, and Maruko in Chibi Maruko-chan from April 2024 onward. The Chibi Maruko-chan succession especially stands out because it placed her into one of Japan’s most recognizable long-running anime roles.
Full Current Filmography
The list below reflects documented public credits visible from major public profile summaries and franchise voice databases as of March 20, 2026. Because I did not retrieve a complete official chronological agency filmography page for Kikuchi in the search results, this should be treated as a source-based documented filmography rather than a guaranteed exhaustive master list.
Anime Television
2000s — Air Gear — Akito / Agito / Lind Wanijima. Public summaries list this as one of Kikuchi’s best-known early roles.
2010s — K — Misaki Yata (child). Public summaries document this among her recurring credits.
2017–2023 — Boruto: Naruto Next Generations — Sarada Uchiha. TV Tokyo’s official cast page and franchise voice listings both identify Kikuchi as Sarada.
2018 — Hakumei and Mikochi — Mikochi. Public summaries list this as a notable lead role.
2024–present — Chibi Maruko-chan — Momoko Sakura / Maruko. Public sources state Kikuchi succeeded TARAKO in the role starting with the April 21, 2024 broadcast.

Critical Reception
The strongest public evidence for Kikuchi’s standing as Sarada is franchise continuity. TV Tokyo’s official cast page lists her as Sarada in the anime, and Behind The Voice Actors shows the same casting across multiple Boruto titles. That strongly supports the conclusion that her performance is treated as the definitive Japanese interpretation of Sarada. This is an inference from the casting record rather than a direct quoted review.
There is also broader evidence of trust in her casting for recognizable legacy characters. Public reporting on Chibi Maruko-chan notes that Kikuchi became the new voice of Maruko in 2024 after an audition process, which suggests strong industry confidence in her ability to carry major established roles.
English Voice Actor: Cherami Leigh
Date of Birth
July 19, 1988. Public industry-facing sources list Cherami Leigh’s birth date as July 19, 1988, and identify her birthplace as Dallas, Texas, USA. IMDb’s public biography also notes that she began performing professionally as a child.
About Cherami
Cherami Leigh is an American voice actress, ADR writer, and actor whose official website presents her as working across anime, games, cartoons, commercials, and on-camera projects.

For Boruto, Leigh is the English dub voice most closely associated with Sarada Uchiha. Behind The Voice Actors lists her as Sarada across the TV series, film, OVA, and game entries, which makes her the definitive English voice of the character for most dub viewers.
Hometown
The most consistently documented birthplace is Dallas, Texas. I did not verify a separate primary-source “hometown” label beyond that, so Dallas is the safest source-based wording here.
Career Highlights
For this query, Leigh’s key credit is Sarada Uchiha in Boruto. Behind The Voice Actors lists her as Sarada in Boruto: Naruto Next Generations, Boruto: Naruto the Movie, The Day Naruto Became Hokage, Naruto to Boruto: Shinobi Striker, and Naruto x Boruto Ultimate Ninja Storm Connections. That long continuity strongly supports the view that her performance is the definitive English interpretation of Sarada.
Outside Boruto, Leigh is widely known for Lucy Heartfilia in Fairy Tail, Asuna Yuuki in Sword Art Online, Patty Thompson in Soul Eater, Road Kamelot in D.Gray-man, Sailor Venus in the Viz dub of Sailor Moon, Makoto Niijima in Persona 5, Rhea in Fire Emblem: Three Houses, and A2 in NieR: Automata. Those roles are the ones most consistently highlighted on her official site and public voice-acting profiles.
Her official website also shows that her career extends beyond acting alone, with credits in ADR writing, live-action performance, and broader voiceover work.
Full Current Filmography
The list below reflects documented public credits verified from Cherami Leigh’s official website, Behind The Voice Actors, IMDb, and major public profile summaries available as of March 20, 2026. Because Leigh has extensive credits across anime, games, cartoons, ADR writing, and on-camera work, this should be treated as a source-based documented filmography rather than a guaranteed exhaustive master list of every credit.
Anime and Anime Films
2000s onward — Fairy Tail franchise — Lucy Heartfilia. Public voice-acting profiles consistently identify Lucy as one of Leigh’s signature anime roles.
2000s onward — Soul Eater — Patty Thompson. Public summaries list this among her early best-known anime roles.
2000s onward — D.Gray-man — Road Kamelot. Public role summaries list Road among Leigh’s notable recurring performances.
2010s onward — Sword Art Online franchise — Asuna Yuuki / Asuna. Leigh’s official website and public profiles both identify Asuna as one of her marquee roles.
2010s onward — Sailor Moon / Sailor Moon Crystal — Minako Aino / Sailor Venus. Public voice-acting profiles consistently list this among her most recognizable anime roles.
2015 — Boruto: Naruto the Movie — Sarada Uchiha. Behind The Voice Actors lists Leigh as Sarada’s English voice in the film.
2017 — The Day Naruto Became Hokage — Sarada Uchiha. Listed on Sarada’s franchise voice page.
2017–2023 — Boruto: Naruto Next Generations — Sarada Uchiha. Behind The Voice Actors lists Leigh as Sarada’s English voice in the TV series.
2019 — Boruto OVA — Sarada Uchiha. Listed on Sarada’s franchise voice page.
2022–2024 — Cyberpunk: Edgerunners / related animation recognition period — Leigh’s official site highlights Lucy among major credits; because the retrieved sources were stronger on her official bio than a full role-by-role chronology for every recent anime, I am not padding this section with unsupported year-specific entries beyond clearly retrieved credits.
Video Games
2010s onward — NieR: Automata — A2. Leigh’s official site and public profiles consistently list A2 among her best-known game roles.
2010s onward — Persona 5 — Makoto Niijima. Public profiles identify Makoto as one of Leigh’s most recognizable game performances.
2018 — Naruto to Boruto: Shinobi Striker — Sarada Uchiha. Listed on Sarada’s franchise voice page.
2019 — Fire Emblem: Three Houses — Rhea. Public profiles consistently list Rhea among Leigh’s major game roles.
2020s onward — Genshin Impact — Aloy. Public voice-acting profiles list Aloy among her notable game credits.
2023 — Naruto x Boruto Ultimate Ninja Storm Connections — Sarada Uchiha. Listed on Sarada’s franchise voice page.
Cartoons / Western Animation / Other Screen Work
Leigh’s official site states that her work spans cartoons, anime, video games, commercials, toy lines, and live action, and public profile summaries also list substantial non-anime voice and on-camera work. The retrieved sources for this turn were stronger on her headline roles than on a complete role-by-role cartoon chronology, so I’m keeping this section source-limited rather than filling it with less certain entries.
ADR Writing / Other Professional Work
Cherami Leigh’s official site explicitly states that she works as an ADR writer in addition to acting, which is an important part of her professional profile. Her official site also presents convention appearances, demos, and other professional materials, showing that her career is broader than performance alone.
Critical Reception
Cherami Leigh’s public reputation in English-dub fandom is especially strong because she is consistently identified with multiple marquee roles across anime and games. Behind The Voice Actors highlights Lucy Heartfilia, Sailor Venus, and Asuna among the roles she is best known for, which is strong evidence of sustained audience association even though it is not formal newspaper-style criticism.
For Sarada specifically, the strongest evidence is franchise continuity. Behind The Voice Actors lists Leigh as Sarada across the TV anime, film, OVA, and games, which strongly supports the view that her performance is the definitive English interpretation of Sarada for most dub viewers. That is an inference from the casting record rather than a direct quoted review.
Social Media
I found Cherami Leigh’s official website and public social presence references, but the retrieved results did not cleanly expose exact verified handles from a primary source in the required handle-plus-direct-link format, so I’m omitting this section rather than risking an inaccurate listing.
