#ultraman dyna's dong the op which is fun

[harukakitous]

To say that I’m excited would be an understatement...not only do we get our main actor for Zenkaiger, we got the voice actors as well! If you’re a fan of Toku and anime, get your seatbelts and strap in, because your minds will be blown.

(what a cutie am i right?) 

Kiita Kogamine (so no, not the actor who played Kusaka in Kiramager) will be playing Kaito Goshikida/ZenKaiser. He’s 20 years old and has watched all of the series from Gaoranger to Magiranger (overachiever lol). A cute dude and a friggin’ MODEL (seriously he is so pretty in editorials). Quite the popular dude from the get-go compared to the Kiramager guys, so it’ll be interesting to see where his popularity leads from here. As for Kaito, I really like the energy he gives him so far. It’s not much, but it’s definitely a positive - not overbearing - go-getter energy. 

Now that we got our human lead out of the way, let’s get to the voice actors…

(dandy~) 

Shintaro Asanuma will be voicing Juran (or Zyuran)/ZenkaiZyuran (or Juran), the red Kikanoid based on Zyuranger’s Daizyujin. A renaissance man in the flesh, being a popular seiyuu, scriptwriter, director, actor, copywriter, and designer. While well-known for franchises such as A3! And Hypnosis Mic, he’s also known for his roles in Ace of Diamond and Beelzebub. While he’s had roles in Ultraman and Sentai before as a villain, this will be his first time taking on one of the heroes in Toku. Fun fact, he’s the oldest of the voice cast at 45 (being born in ‘76), which is rather fitting seeing that he voices the oldest ranger. (Yeah, he doesn’t look like it I know.) I was honestly very surprised when I heard him as Juran, he sounds completely different from his usual roles! Asanuma has such an insane range, it honestly blows my mind every time I hear it. 

(seriously, what a cutie) 

Yuki Kaji will be voicing Gaon/ZenkaiGaon, the yellow Kikanoid based on Gaoranger’s GaoKing. If you’ve been in the anime fandom for a bit, you most definitely know his name. A HUGE, and I mean HUGE name in the anime industry, he’s also a narrator, fashion designer, and most recently Youtuber. Known for his roles in Attack on Titan, The Seven Deadly Sins, High School DxD, and a bunch more, he’s kind of a really big deal. Excluding a dub role in Kamen Rider Dragon Knight, this will be his first Toku role. He’s also married to Ayana Takatatsu, the voice actress for Goche Ru Medou in LuPat. On a very dawww moment, he stated on his Twitter that he’s been a long time fan of the franchise and it was his dream to become a Sentai hero. (He also likes reds lol) Gaon honestly reminds me of Melodias, just a bit lower-pitched and obviously unpervy. Kaji is always amazing so I expected nothing less. 

(so pretty!) 

Yume Miyamoto takes on Magine/ZenkaiMagine, the pink Kikanoid based on Magiranger’s MagiKing. A rising star in the anime industry, she’s been in the entertainment industry for 20 years, being a child actress back in the day. She’s primarily known for her roles in SSSS.Gridman, GJ Club, Akashic Records, etc. but she’s starting to rise through the ranks at such a young age (being a mere 3 years older than our lead). Despite her long career, she had never made any appearances in any of the Toku franchises until Zenkaiger. Magine is so cute! Her voice is surprisingly deeper than I thought, but it’s honestly still very very cute lol 

(onore you handsome man!) 

Takuya Sato voices Vroon/ZenkaiVroon, the blue Kikanoid who’s based on Boukenger’s DaiBouken. A short, but muscular glasses wearer who’s primarily a voice actor with quite the suave voice. Known for his roles in Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure, Cardfight Vanguard, and Moriarty the Patriot, you can also find in the wildly popular franchise Idolish7 (which I’m a casual fan of). You may also know him rather infamously as Yuri Ayato, one of the main dudes of Yarichin B Club (who is shamelessly proud of this role). Like Miyamoto, this will be Sato’s first time on a Toku series. A Tokusatsu fan as well, he said on a recent blog post that he’s elated to be part of such an iconic franchise and hopes to do his best as a voice actor as his height prevented him from being a full-time actor. (He’s 166 cm, so around 5’5”) Vroon is basically more akin to his nerdy roles, glasses and all. His voice just fits so well lol 

Now onto the supporting characters!

(minna no idol. i’m not kidding) 

Ikue Sakakibara will be playing Kaito’s grandmother Yatsude Goshikida. A relatively big star back in the day, she was a former idol that switched over to hosting and acting on TV after she got married and had children.

(she looks like that friendly grandma down the street lol) 

Lenna Hardt will be voicing the Geartiinger. Narrator for Momoiro Clover, Japanese mixed-martial arts, and voice actor in various games and anime. If you’re wondering, she’s fully bilingual in English and Japanese. 

As far as we know, that’s basically all for now. No cast reveals for the villains or other supporting characters so far, which is interesting considering Toei loves to reveal practically everyone during the press conference. We’ll more than likely be getting news for that in the near-future once it gets closer to the air date. Hopefully this ends up pretty good! I was really surprised at this cast lineup, but damn can’t say that I’m disappointed. To a new Sentai!
