Yes Kugimiya Rie can do a lot more than the tsundere rolls she's "typecast" as, the problem is her most well known female roles are all tsundere characters. It doesn't matter is she was amazing in <insert obscure anime> when she's playing another tsundere in another popular show.

By the time Znt3 finishes Toradora starts up, and by the time that finishes (assuming Toradora is two cours) Hayate no Gotoku 2 might be airing since ZKC (same producers, director and timeslot as HnG) will be finished by Spring 2009. So that's a lot of time with her most prominent character in every season being a tsundere.. and by the time HnG 2 whines down Shana 3 could be starting up... and this isn't counting any new shows where she might play a popular tsundere..

In a way she's unfairly typecast as being tsundere only since she can do so much more but it should be obvious why she is typecast like this.
