Romi Park (Korean: 박로미, Hanja: 朴璐美, born January 22, 1972) is a Korean-Japanese actress, voice actress, and singer born in Edogawa, Tokyo. Born as a South Korean national, she became a Japanese citizen afterwards. She graduated from the Tōhō Gakuen College of Drama and Music, and studied Korean language in Yonsei University's Korean Language Institute. At the first Seiyu Awards, she won Best Actress in a leading role for her portrayal of Nana Osaki. Her most well-known roles are usually tough, calm, and mature preteen or teenage boys who are often called prodigies in their fictional universes (for example, Tao Ren, Tōshirō Hitsugaya, Edward Elric, Kosuke Ueki, and Natsume Hyūga). Her female roles also fit the "tough/punk lady" archetype (Temari from Naruto, Nana Osaki and Teresa in Claymore).
