Panther/Ann Takamaki

Ann Takamaki is one of the founding members of the Phantom Thieves. Kind-hearted, empathetic, and fiercely determined, she's far more than the "pretty girl" others assume she is. Ann deeply values her friends and isn't afraid to stand up against injustice, especially when it comes to protecting those who can't protect themselves.

While Ann has plenty of playful and humorous moments, she also carries some of the most emotionally powerful scenes in the story. We're looking for an actress who can naturally transition between lighthearted teasing, heartfelt vulnerability, and unwavering determination. Focus on portraying Ann's warmth and inner strength rather than imitating the official English performance.
