Erika Ishii is an American voice actor and host. She is best known as the voice of video game characters such as Valkyrie in Apex Legends, as well as her appearances in actual play web series including L.A. by Night and Dimension 20. Ishii's work as an actress started at a young age, with a guest appearance on Full House. In an interview with Bungie, Ishii stated that playing The Last of Us (2013) inspired her to enter voice acting in video games. From the late 2010s, Ishii performed voice roles in numerous video games, and would ultimately contribute voice work to The Last of Us Part II in 2020. During her early career, Ishii was advised to conceal her sexuality and political views to avoid losing work. Later she became more open about her orientation and identity. Ishii indicated that doing so was a positive step, as it allowed her to be part of a community, and to take on relevant roles. "The industry is beginning to recognize the value of authenticity and inclusion. It makes for better art and it's what the majority of the world wants to see." Ishii spoke positively about her role as the mixed-Japanese lesbian Valkyrie in Apex Legends, stating that "None of it was tokenism... She's one of the most real characters I've ever had the honour of portraying." More information...
