Chan-Kent voiced Misa Amane in the English dub of "Death Note" (2006-2007). Misa was depicted as a young model with traumatic experiences, who gained the eyes of a Shinigami (death spirit). At the cost of shortening her own life span, Misa could learn a person's real name and lifespan just by looking at their face. She used this ability to feed information to the supernatural serial killer Kira/ Light Yagami, due to her unrequited love for him and her agreement with his vigilantism. Kira viewed her only as a useful tool instead of a love interest.

Chan-Kent voiced Christina Sierra in "Mobile Suit Gundam 00" (2007-2009). Christina was a computer programmer aboard the mothership "Ptolemaios", and was previously a runaway from an unnamed space colony. Christina was repeatedly trying to befriend her introverted co-worker Feldt Grace and to spend private time with her, despite their different personalities and interests. Christina was eventually killed in action, using her dying moments to offer life advise to Feldt. Feldt mourned the loss of her closest friend.

In "Strawberry Shortcake's Berry Bitty Adventures" (2010-2013), Chan-Kent voiced the regular character Cherry Jam.
