Kate Higgins as Karin Kurosaki and Michelle Ruff as Yuzu Kurosaki. Yuri Lowenthal and Steve Staley have also been confirmed, although Yuri's said he's playing a minor character.
Thanks for the info Saman! Source plz?Originally Posted by saman
For anyone who's interested Kate Higgins is currently playing Sakura on Naruto. I don't really like her very much, but I can imagine her very well as Karin.Kate Higgins as Karin Kurosaki and Michelle Ruff as Yuzu Kurosaki. Yuri Lowenthal and Steve Staley have also been confirmed, although Yuri's said he's playing a minor character.
Michelle Ruff is a seasoned VA who has awesome range. It's a pity they're wasting her on such a minor character like Ichigo's sis. I could have seen Ruff playing Orihime, but whatever.
Yuri Lowenthal plays Sasuke on Naruto, so it would be great to have him reprise another one of Noriaki Sugiyama's roles and play Ishida, but apparently he's only playing a minor character.
Steve Staley should quit the business. He's a fucking dork and can't act.The end.
<@Terra> he told me this, "man actually meeting terra is so fucking big", and he started crying. Then he bought me hot dogs
hmm, alright, let's see. kate herself has confirmed that she's in bleach:

that's here: http://boards.ign.com/bleach/b8101/120202932/p2/?19Well, I can confirm one more casting. Apparently Yuri Lowenthal is in the mix. I sent him an email on which part. He didn't reveal who, but he did say he was doing a minor character. He did confirm that Viz will reveal who is cast for what soon.

I think they'll be doing an official BLEACH dub cast announcement soon, so I'm not sure if I should say anything, but I think you'll be happy with the casting. I play a minor role on the show. They (VIZ & Studiopolis) are taking great care with the series, and know that there are a lot of nervous and excited fans out there.

as for steve staley, it seems to be pretty widely accepted that he's in bleach, but uh, i can't seem to find the actual confirmation anywhere. *continues searching*
Stolen from Bleach 7 frontpage:
"Viz announces main cast members for Bleach Dub
According to this article, they announced the main cast members of the dub.
Ichigo - Johnny Yong Bosch
Rukia - Michelle Ruff
Isshin - Patrick Seitz
Karin - Kate Higgins
Orihime - Stephanie Sheh
Tatsuki - Wendee Lee
Ishida - Derek Stephen Prince"
NOOOOOOOOOO! I am not a fan of Johnny Young Bosh and am appalled that I'll have to hear him as Ichigo! His Renton in Eureka 7 is very irritating, but hopefully he'll put some bass back in his voice to sound something like Vash or Sakaki(WHR).
Michelle Ruff has a unique and interesting voice, I'm glad she's got the part of Rukia.
Ishida's VA has an odd somewhat whiny voice, which I'm also not looking forward to as Ishida is anything but whiny...
Funny, I don't remember seeing any anime where Wendee Lee isn't cast on some role or another. Not that it would bother me though, as I'm not native English speaker, I never watch my animes in English anyway.Originally Posted by eat_toast
It just seems that she's cast in every series where I've checked who's done voices in English...
hey yukimura. Mizuchi > w.e attack yukimura uses at the end when she gets her legendary bow (i dont remember wat its called).
and yes, yami kyo > yami yugi.
anyway, since id get flamed if i dont contribute to the thread, i hear bleach is comming to adult swim sumtime in october.
Sunnovabitch! Bosch as Ichigo?? That doesn't quite work out at all. I love the guy (hate him as Vash), but he just isn't an "Ichigo" type. He's got a soft spoken, cool guy voice. I'm really intrigued to see how this'll turn out.Originally Posted by eat_toast
Michelle Ruff as Rukia is a great choice, though. As I mentioned before, she's a great actress and has been able to pull off tomboy characters in the past. A grave, lower voice like Rukia's should be no problem. I am very happy with this choice.
Stephanie Sheh is cleaning up as Hinata on Naruto. She'll make a great Orihime.
But Derek Stephen Prince playing Ishida will make loads of fans pissed. I'm calling it now. Message boards will be filled with "I hate the Bleach dub! Ishida sounds like a nasaly, whiney fag!" Not that I have anything against the guy, but his voice is...unique. However, he can sound like a badass at times (Chou the Sword Hunter from RuroKen). I can't wait to see how this turns out.
<@Terra> he told me this, "man actually meeting terra is so fucking big", and he started crying. Then he bought me hot dogs
Hmmmm...If memory serves...wasn't he the black and green power rangers at one point o_0Originally Posted by eat_toast
...wow...i feel old for remembering that...
For all you awesome people, it's just Phoenix. The numbers are just the amount of times people misspell it.
LOL, you're right phoenix he was the black ranger in zeo then the green in turbo. I had thought he died b/c I never heard of him after those roles. But he's actually been VAing, that's awesome.
ps: you didn't hear this from me....
