landed some guest and supporting voices on the Pokémon TV series.
When fellow voice actress Tara Sands moved from New York to Los
Angeles, she auditioned to voice match Sands' character Mokuba Kaiba
in Yu-Gi-Oh!. On her way out of the audition, Keranen started pitching
another voice actress for the part, but director Eric Stuart later
told her that she was the right person for the role and that he even
vouched for her to play the part. That was her first major role as a
lead male character. Later in the same season, she also got to voice
Kisara, which she said was more typical of the characters and used her
natural voice. She also voiced Mina Simington, which she described as
"type A but not in a forceful way" and would totally get into
something if she had the chance.
