Fullmetal Alchemist, One Piece Voice Actress Juli Erickson Dies
She was not on the list.
End of an era.
Another cherished voice has gone quiet.
American voice actress Juli Erickson has passed away at the age of 86. 🕊️ Her work helped shape generations of anime fans, leaving warmth, strength, and heart in every role she brought to life.
She will always be remembered for her unforgettable performances, including Recovery Girl in My Hero Academia, Kokoro and Tsuru in One Piece, Pinako Rockbell in Fullmetal Alchemist, Ohba in Fairy Tail, and many more. Each character carried her distinct presence — gentle, wise, and deeply human.
Juli Erickson wasn’t just a voice actress; she was part of the emotional fabric of the stories we loved. Her talent gave comfort, laughter, and meaning to countless moments across anime history.
Thank you for the memories, the voices, and the legacy.
Rest in paradise, a true icon.
Memorials will be held in Spokane, Washington and Dallas, Texas.

Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay (2008) and Upstream Color (2013). She was
