Yuki Mizutani (née Kudara), also known by her stage name keity.pop, is a vocalist and voice actress for the Splatoon series.
Mizutani was first seen voicing Callie in a behind the scenes video posted under Nintendo's Japanese and European YouTube channels, although she would not receive proper credit for her role unit the release of Splatune.[2][3] However, her role as the enemy Octolings would never be officially acknowledged despite her performance getting reused for the enemy Octolings in Splatoon 2, common sanitized Octolings in Octo Expansion, and the common fuzzy Octolings in Splatoon 3.
