Trina Nishimura is an American voice actress who has worked primarily with Funimation. She is known for the voice of Mikasa Ackermann on Attack on Titan.

Early life and career

At age 3, her family moved to Amarillo, Texas and began doing plays and performing at the community theater at age 9, and continued acting through high school.[2][3] She graduated from Amarillo High School,[3] and later got her Bachelor of Arts degree at the University of North Texas at Denton.[4] She originally intended to go to law school, but was asked by a friend of hers in Amarillo to try auditioning for Funimation.[3]

Her first voice acting role was in Desert Punk as Namiko. She voices Nadie in the girls with guns series El Cazador de la Bruja, and Mari Illustrious Makinami in Evangelion: 2.0 You Can (Not) Advance.[5] In the hit anime Attack on Titan, she voices the lead female character Mikasa Ackerman.[6]

Personal life

Nishimura is in a relationship with Dallas-based chef Justin Holt who opened a ramen restaurant called Salaryman in September 2019. The restaurant was closed down in November 2020 when Holt was diagnosed with leukemia.[1]
