For most, the world of anime and manga is dominated by shonen series, typically action-focused storyies aimed primarily at a young male demographic (famed hits like Dragon Ball Z and even Death Note included). However, there are also anime and manga aimed at an older demographic, and that category is known as seinen.

So, what is seinen? "Seinen" is media aimed at older males in their late teens and 20s. In general, these series tend to star older protagonists, feature more explicit content, and deal with darker subject matter (though not all have to). While that male audience is the only real requirement to be seinen, the series can be enjoyed by anyone, and contains the variety to do exactly that.

Himiko Toga is one of the beloved and intricately complex characters of My Hero Academia's League of Villains. She is known for her unique interest in the blood of those who have managed to win her affections, as well as her heartbreaking backstory.

Leah Clark, the woman responsible for translating Togas complicated character into English, gives the performance of a lifetime as everyones favorite devilishly cute vampire girl. However, aside from Toga, Clark's career spans across many notable anime series, displaying the epic range of her voice-acting talents in numerous characters.
