Madeleine Joan Blaustein (born Adam Blaustein , October 9, 1960 – December 11, 2008), also known as Kendra Bancroft , was an American voice actress and comic writer who was known for her voice acting work for 4Kids Entertainment , DuArt Film and Video and NYAV Post , for her reprising role as the character Meowth from the Pokémon anime series and for comics written for Milestone Comics , in which she introduced one of superhero comics' first transgender female characters. She was the first intersex and transgender voice artist for many of her respective agencies.[1]

In the late 1980s, Blaustein worked for Marvel Comics , as an editor (several issues each of Web of Spider-Man , Marvel Tales , and Marvel Saga ) as a writer (several issues of Conan the King ), and penciling a one-shot of Power Pachyderms. [2] [3] She wrote assorted comics published by DC Comics in the early 1990s, including a few for the Impact Comics imprint and TSR line.[2]
In 1994, she went to work for Milestone Media as production manager and writer.[4] With assistance from her partner Yves Fezzani[5] – sometimes billed together as "Adam & Yves"[6] – she wrote issues of flagship titles Hardware and Static (in which she co-created the character Rubberband Man ).[7] She also wrote (with Fezzani) Milestone's first limited series Deathwish ,[2] [8] which featured as its central character transgender female police officer Marisa Rahm, one of the first trans heroes featured in mainstream superhero comics.[9] During this time she was sometimes referred to in editorial copy in the comics as "Addie Blaustein".[10]
After leaving Milestone, she served as Creative Director for Weekly World News .[11] [12]
Blaustein was a voice actress at 4Kids Entertainment , where she worked on the English dub version of the Pokémon anime . She provided "filler" voices for various characters until episode #31, when she took over from Nathan Price in the role of Meowth, which she played through season 8.[13] During the 2004 Democratic Party presidential primaries , she voiced Sméagol on The Mike Malloy Show , announcing a satirical presidential bid.[14]
Beginning in 2004 under the pseudonym Kendra Bancroft , Blaustein was a content creator on the Second Life platform,[15] earning a reputation as an innovative, competent, and reliable 3-D modeller in the communities where she participated.[16]
Personal life
[ edit ]
Blaustein was born the second oldest of five children in Long Island , New York .[citation needed ] She was assigned male at birth . She was born intersex , and transitioned to female.[17] Her experience as an activist in the transgender community helped her to organize and support groups of people in Second Life .[18]
Video game localization coordinator and translator Jeremy Blaustein is her brother.
Death
[ edit ]
Blaustein died on December 11, 2008, at age 48 in Christ Hospital of Jersey City, New Jersey , from an untreated stomach virus (possibly gastroenteritis ) that she had been suffering from a couple of weeks prior.[11] [19] She is buried at the Congregation B'nai Israel Cemetery in Northampton , Hampshire County, Massachusetts.
