Donna Burke

Singer / Voice Actress / Toilet Lady

Royal Flushh Founder
Donna Burke is an actress, singer, writer, and entrepreneur known for the video games Metal Gear Solid, and Silent Hill 2 and 3 and for being the English announcer on the Tokyo to Osaka Shinkansen bullet train.

Yep, that’s still what she’s most famous for.

Donna is beloved by anime and game geeks worldwide, performing her iconic songs with symphonic orchestras in Paris, Tokyo, Osaka, New York, and LA with Konami-endorsed Metal Gear in Concert.

Donna is active on YouTube and Spotify with Glassy Sky from the anime Tokyo Ghoul racking over 70 million views and 20,000 covers- one of which Eminem sampled for his Kamikaze album in 2018.

Donna has narrated many documentaries for NHK Japan, including the 2017 International Emmy nominated, “The Phone of the Wind. Whispers to Lost Families”.

Although Donna leads an amazing and successful voice acting, and singing career she continues to set her sights higher and thinks the world is now ready for a beloved Japanese product that's been around since before she arrived in Tokyo in 1996.

Despite singing and acting in dystopian horror stealth games, Donna’s brand is cheerful, funny, and warm, which makes sense as she also exports Japanese-made Hotteeze Heat Pads worldwide. She is also the founder of Royal Flushh and brand she wants for others so they never come out of a toilet red-faced and feel the need to avoid eye contact over their sounds in the loo.

When she is not trying to eliminate the world from back pain and toilet sound woes, Donna writes YA, comedy and romcoms featuring “fish out of water” stories. Which is what she was when she arrived in Tokyo back in 1996.

Donna has proudly jujitsu her way through painful high school taunts of her “loving the sound of your own voice” into a successful international career spanning game, anime, television, and… rail.

Okay, so I think we're all clear here that she is perfect.

Phew.
