Summary
English voice actorsfor anime dubbing often run in the same circles. Some actors have been in the biz since the late 90s, whereas some up-and-comers are relatively new to the anime dubbing sphere, having come from working on American cartoons first. Some anime voice actors also work on video game dubbing or reprise their roles for movie releases.
TheJujutsu KaisenEnglish cast is star-studded with well-known names and rising stars alike. For those wondering where they’ve heard someone’s voice before and frantically checking online, there are a few possible options for where the cast have been spotted before for anime and gaming fans alike.
10Itadori Yuji
Adam McArthur
Adam McArthur’sreel is tiny but mighty when it comes to well-known roles. Fans of the Disney XD cartoonStar vs The Forces of Evilwill recognize McArthur as Marco Diaz, partner in crime to the eponymous Star Butterfly.
He also played Chifuyu Matsuno in the animeTokyo Revengers— quite a contrast compared to Itadori.
9Fushiguro Megumi
Robbie Daymond
Robbie Daymondplays Fushiguro Megumi, and eagle-eyed anime fans of all ages will probably recognize his iconic voice. From Tuxedo Mask inSailor Moonto Chrollo Lucilfer inHunter x Hunter, Daymond has been in a myriad of different roles.
He also played Kenshiro inFist of the North Star, Goro Akechi in thePersonaseries — and everyone’s favorite bicycle-themed hero, Mumen Rider ofOne Punch Manfame.
8Kugisaki Nobara
Anne Yatco
Anne Yatcois the voice behind the quick-witted hammer-wielderKugisaki Nobara. While her roles in anime have been rather small,Genshin Impactfans will recognize her as the Raiden Shogun, the archon Electro presiding over Inazuma.
For those more into cartoons, she also plays Sabine Cheng, Marinette Dupain-Cheng’s mother inMiraculous: Tales of Ladybugand Cat Noir.
7Gojo Satoru
Kaiji Tang
The strongest sorcererhas himself a strong voice actor too —Kaiji Tang, whoDragon Ball Superfans may recognize as the voice of Vegeta.
He also played Guts in the 2016 remake ofBeserk, Archer inFate/Stay Night, Osamu Dazai inBungou Stray Dogs, and Shinazugawa Sanemi fromDemon Slayer. He’s got a good track record of strong characters!
6Geto Suguru
Lex Lang
Lex LangplaysGeto Suguru, Gojo Satoru’s best friend and foil throughout the series. It’s not the first time that Kaiji Tang and Lex Lang have played opposing roles; Lang was the voice of Goku inDragon Ball Super,opposite Tang’s Vegeta.
Lang is also the English voice for Goemon Ishikawa XIII in several of the modernLupin IIIanime and movies, and he played Dr. Neo Cortex in several entries in theCrash Bandicootgames. He has the range, it seems.
5Ryomen Sukuna And Choso
Ray Chase
Anime fans old and young will recognizeRay Chasefrom his vast array of roles over the years. InJujutsu Kaisen,he plays Sukuna, the demon king whose fingers poor Itadori needs to swallow, alongside supporting character Choso.
Chase’s roles include mafioso boss Bruno Buccarati fromJojo’s Bizarre Adventure: Golden Wind,red-headed fighter Roy fromFire Emblem,the flamboyant Uzui Tengen fromDemon Slayer,brooding protagonist Noctis fromFinal Fantasy XV, and Iudex Neuvillette fromGenshin Impact. For those that still don’t recognize him, perhaps “The judgment of the Oratrice Mechanique D’Analyse Cardinale” will jog their memory.
4Yaga Masamichi
Keith Silverstein
Keith Silverstein’sdulcet tones are immediately recognizable across all media. He plays headmaster Masamichi inJujutsu Kaisen, but many anime fans will recognize him for a different, slightly less straight-laced role: clown-themed killer Hisoka fromHunter x Hunter.
Silverstein also played Zhongli inGenshin Impact, Robert E.O. Speedwagon inJojo’s Bizarre Adventure: Phantom Blood, Hawk Moth inMiraculous: Tales of Ladybugand Cat Noir, and had a ratherhilarious role as the narrator inWarioWare: Move It.
3Special Grade Curse Mahito
Lucien Dodge
Everyone’s favorite curse,Mahito. His voice actor,Lucien Dodge, is no stranger to playing antagonistic demons and characters that people love to hate.
Dodge has also voiced Upper Rank 3 demon Akaza inDemon Slayer, Keisuke Baji inTokyo Revengers, and Hifumi Yamada in the murder-mystery gameDanganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc.
2Maki Zenin And Kasumi Miwa
Allegra Clark
Allegra Clarkhas a talent for playingstrong women— one of her first voice acting roles was Josephine Montiliyet in BioWare’sDragon Age: Inquisition. Maki Zenin and Kasumi Miwa are two more great characters to add to her roster.
Gamers will also recognize Clark as Dorothea inFire Emblem: Three HousesandFire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes, as well as pirate captain Beidou fromGenshin Impact.
David Vincent
David VincentplaysKento Nanami,a tired businessman turned jujutsu sorcerer.
Vincent has played several well-known characters during his career, but his two most recognizable roles would be as Grimmjow JaegerJaques inBleach, and Richter Belmont in 1997’sCastlevania: Symphony of The Night. He reprised his role as Richter Belmont inSuper Smash Bros Ultimate, so players might recognize Vincent’s voice from there, too.
