[[Manga/FullmetalAlchemist Describe Romi Park here, or I'll cut off your feet and stick them on your head!]]
One word: Tough.
Besides voicing tough ladies (and many angry young boys), Romi Park (born January 22, 1972) also enjoys Shaolin Kempo and swimming. Frequently compared to Creator/MegumiOgata, as both women have rather deep voices and the tendency of voicing young boys. Tite Kubo has apparently taken notice of this, and has arranged for the two to eventually face off in the animation, as Hitsuguya and Halibel. She's so badass that [[EvenTheGirlsWantHer even the girls want her]]. In more recent years, she has also voiced older women such as Sada in ''Anime/DragonPilotHisoneAndMasotan'' or Alma in ''Manga/{{Radiant}}''.
She's also notable for being a seiyuu of Korean descent, which is [[UsefulNotes/KoreansInJapan not terribly common]]. Her last name (박) [[InconsistentSpelling may be romanized as "Pak" or "Park"; she is also sometimes known as Romi Paku]], based on the romanisation of her name spelled in katakana (パク・ロミ). Also, the Korean hanja for the "ro" (璐) in her name causes trouble in the Japanese community, since it doesn't exist in Japanese kanji, and so is also hard to type on a Japanese keyboard.
On January 22, 2020, it was [[https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/interest/2020-01-22/voice-actors-romi-park-kazuhiro-yamaji-get-married/.155651 announced]] that she got married to Creator/KazuhiroYamaji on her birthday, regardless of their [[AgeGapRomance age gap]].

!!Tropes associated with Romi Park's roles:
* ActionGirl: If she's voicing a woman, you can guarantee that she's playing one of these.
* CrossdressingVoices: Her forte, with [[Manga/FullmetalAlchemist Edward Elric]] as one such example.
* MsFanservice: Her female characters particularly [[VideoGame/StreetFighterV Kolin]], Manga/{{Nana}} and [[VideoGame/BlueDragon Zola]].
* MistakenIdentity: If you do an image search for Creator/HiromuArakawa, you will get a lot of pictures of Romi Park, the voice of the main character in ''Manga/FullmetalAlchemist'', Arakawa's best-known work. This is because Arakawa has had Park accept awards for her.
* PigeonholedVoiceActor: Tends to play young mature males or tough females. Oddly enough, when dubbing foreign media she tends to dub mostly women, normally tomboys, {{spicy Latina}}s, or [[SassyBlackWoman sassy black women]].[[note]]It does help she's also from a minority demographic in Japan too.[[/note]]
