Sarah Wiedenheft

Birth Date: 03/07/1993

At 19, Sarah Wiedenheft landed at Funimation after eight months of waiting on an audition callback - and she never left. The Danish-American voice actress, raised in Fort Worth, Texas, has since built a catalog spanning over 170 characters across anime, original animation, and video games. Best known for Tohru in Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid, Power in Chainsaw Man, and Suika in Dr. Stone, she is one of the most active voices in English anime dubbing today.

Sarah Wiedenheft’s Path from Dutch Roots to American Dubbing Royalty

Born in Amersfoort, Netherlands, on July 3, 1993, Sarah Wiedenheft grew up with a stage ambition that eventually found its home in a recording booth. A childhood devoted to theater, musicals, and show choir in Fort Worth, Texas – where she later settled – pointed clearly toward performance. At age 19, she walked into Funimation after an open audition process that took nearly eight months to yield a callback. That first foot in the door opened into one of the most active careers in American anime dubbing.

Miss Kobayashi’s Dragon Maid and the Role That Introduced Her to Millions

Tohru, the lovesick dragon maid at the center of Miss Kobayashi’s Dragon Maid, became Wiedenheft’s first signature role when the English dub launched in 2017. The character demanded a shifting register – booming draconic pride sitting alongside soft, domestic warmth – and Wiedenheft threaded that needle across the original series, OVAs, Season 2, and the 2024 theatrical release. Anime News Network’s preview guides took note early on, and the BTVA community nominated her for Voice Actress of the Year in 2017, marking her as a name worth tracking.

Chainsaw Man and the Chaos of Power

When Crunchyroll launched its English dub of Chainsaw Man in late 2022, Power arrived as one of the season’s most unpredictable screen presences. Wiedenheft captured the character’s swaggering, unhinged self-obsession without softening the edges, drawing wide praise for a performance that felt genuinely dangerous rather than simply loud. That gremlin energy carried through to Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc in 2025, extending the role into the franchise’s theatrical chapter.

Dr. Stone, Dragon Ball Super, and a Career Built on Range

Suika, the melon-helmeted young scientist of Dr. Stone, runs through the main series, Stone Wars, Ryusui, and New World under Wiedenheft’s voice – a contrast in tone that sits far from Power’s chaos. Meanwhile, Dragon Ball Super handed her Grand Zeno, the omnipotent ruler of all universes, in a casting choice that asked for both childlike delivery and existential weight. Other confirmed credits include Charmy Pappitson in Black Clover, Phosphophyllite in Land of the Lustrous, Pony Tsunotori in My Hero Academia, and Kikyo Kushida in Classroom of the Elite. On the gaming side, Fu Xuan in Honkai: Star Rail and Castti Florenz in Octopath Traveler II mark an expanding footprint in interactive entertainment. She is affiliated with Funimation/Crunchyroll, Sentai Filmworks, Sound Cadence Studios, and OkraTron 5000.
