5 popular anime characters voiced by Genshin Impact’s Rie Takahashi

1) Takagi (Karakai Jouzu Takagi-san/Teasing Master Takagi-san)

Rie Takahashi voices the main female protagonist, Takagi, from the anime series Karakai Jouzu Takagi-san. In the anime, Takagi is represented as a middle school student who is in the same class as the male lead, Nishikata, the person she constantly teases but secretly has feelings for.

Genshin Impact's Rie Takahashi masterfully portrays Takagi’s sweet, intelligent, carefree, and fearless nature, along with her penchant for mischief.

2) Megumin (KonoSuba: God's Blessing on this Wonderful World)

Megumin from KonoSuba gave birth to the whole “Explosion!” meme and as one of the main characters in the Isekai parody, she comes with her own quirks. Being an Arch Demon of the Crimson Demon clan, Megumin comes with innate magic abilities and very high intelligence stats.

However, instead of investing her skills evenly throughout a variety of magical abilities, she opted for explosion magic. She put all her attribute points into a single skill, “Explosion”, which completely depletes her mana after one use.

Genshin Impact’s Rie Takahashi does a phenomenal job in portraying Megumin’s obsession with explosion magic.

3) Emilia (Re: Zero)

Emilia is the female lead from the Isekai anime Re: Zero, who is a Half-Elf and a candidate to become the 42nd King of the Dragon Kingdom of Lugnica. Re: Zero starts off as any other light-hearted Isekai, however, things take a turn for the worse, as the narrative gets darker and darker each time Subaru (the protagonist) dies and comes back to life.

Genshin Impact's Rie Takahashi shows Emilia as a straightforward, good-natured, and energetic girl, who seems to be carrying a lot of responsibilities on her shoulders.

4) Mash Kyrielight (Fate/Grand Order)

In the Fate/Grand Order series, Genshin Impact’s Rie Takahashi plays one of the lead characters Mash Kyrielight, who is a “Demi-Servant” human fused with the Heroic Spirit of Galahad from Arthur’s Round Tabe.

At the start of the series, she did not know the identity of the Servant that was fused with her. Moreover, she was artificially fertilized through genetic editing, as part of the project that dealt with fusing heroic spirits to a compatible mortal vessel.

5) Shino Kiryuu (Kanojo mo Kanojo)

Kanojo mo Kanojo is a Japanese romantic comedy anime. Here, Genshin Impact's Rie Takahashi plays the character of Shino Kiryuu, who is shown to be quite moral and considerate towards her friend Saki.

Shino, much like Emilia, is portrayed as a straightforward and serious character. She excels in her studies, and doing well in exams comes as second nature to her.
