Now that Donkey Kong Bananza is available for everyone, we know the voice actors who play various characters like DK and Pauline. Since Pauline is fully voiced, her actress varies for different languages and regions. However, Donkey Kong is played by Kouji Takeda in every region. In English, the spoken and singing voice for Pauline is Jenny Kidd.
Kouji Takeda taking up the role of DK in Donkey Kong Bananza isn’t surprising, as he has been the voice actor for the character for a few projects recently. He played the character in the Japanese dub for The Super Mario Bros Movie. Then, in Mario Kart World, he reprised the part. We also heard hi as Daruk in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and its spin-offs. One of his other recurring roles is Shinichi Sato in Blue Exorcist.
We knew the Japanese voice actress for Pauline ahead of launch, due to Nintendo revealing it in an Ask the Developer interview series based on Donkey Kong Bananza. Yurianne Eve plays her.
BeardBear on YouTube shared a compilation video that highlighted Pauline’s voice actresses in multiple languages. That covered samples of her performances in Dutch, English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Portuguese, and Spanish.
Donkey Kong Bananza is available for the Nintendo Switch 2.
