Who voices Kuvira?

Zelda Williams voices Kuvira in The Legend of Korra.

Kuvira is introduced as the captain of Zaofu’s guard and later becomes known as the “Great Uniter.” After the Earth Queen’s death creates a power vacuum, she leads a campaign to reunite the Earth Kingdom, ultimately establishing the Earth Empire. Her political ambition and authoritarian methods make her the central antagonist of Book Four: Balance.

Williams’ performance gives Kuvira a controlled, commanding voice that suits the character’s military discipline and confidence. The character was deliberately designed with similarities to Korra in height, build, and personality, creating a conflict between two powerful women who each believe they are restoring order.

Viewers sometimes confuse Kuvira’s voice actor with the actors behind other major women in the series. Janet Varney voices Korra, Mae Whitman voices Katara in the original series, and Grey DeLisle voices several Avatar characters, but none of them voices Kuvira. Zelda Williams also appears in the series’ recurring cast for Book Four.
