She’s cute, she’s spunky, she’s socially awkward… you know her, you love her, it’s Naomi Fairchild, the Funplex’s resident arcade techie! And she’s voiced by Stephanie Sheh!
Stephanie Sheh has been doing voiceover for over a decade. Most well known for her work in anime such as Sailor Moon in VIZ’s redub of Sailor Moon and Sailor Moon Crystal, Mitsuha Miyamizu in Makoto Shinkai’s Your Name, Hinata in Naruto, Orihime in Bleach, Eureka in Eureka Seven, Yui in Sword Art Online, and Mineva in Gundam Unicorn. Stephanie has many voice credits in video games, most notably Tharja in Fire Emblem, Airy in Bravely Default, Mikan in Danganronpa, Kyrie in Devil May Cry, and Rebecca Chambers in the Resident Evil games. She is also excited to be voicing Maya in Overkill’s The Walking Dead game. When it comes to original animation, Stephanie has voiced ZhuLi in Legend of Korra, Katana in WB’s DC Super Hero High, Jinafire and Boolittle in Monster High, Share Bear in Carebears: Welcome to Care-a-lot, Vega in Disney’s Stardarlings, Popo in Miles from Tomorrowland, and various roles in Cartoon Network’s We Bare Bears.
We couldn’t be happier to have Stephanie on board to bring Naomi to life. Naomi was the first character designed for Arcade Spirits, embodying the union of a romantic comedy with a love letter to arcade culture. Finding just the right voice for her was critical — and Stephanie really knocked it out of the park. We hope you’ll enjoy her work in the upcoming Arcade Spirits!
