The official website of the upcoming My Hero Academia: Vigilantes anime has confirmed that several voice actors from the main My Hero Academia series will reprise their roles.
The returning characters along with their cast and comments include:
- Kenji Miyake as All Might (Toshinori Yagi)
Comment:
In the past, even the No.1 Hero, All Might, admitted that he couldn’t save everyone. That made me wonder: What happens to the lives crying out for help in places beyond All Might’s reach? Vigilantes answers that question while weaving its story. I hope you look forward to the heroic actions of these “Illegals” who take a different approach from professional heroes.
Haihiro-kun, you too can become a hero!
- Junichi Suwabe as Eraser Head (Shota Aizawa)
Comment:
Vigilantes is a spin-off set in the timeline before My Hero Academia. I never imagined it would get an anime adaptation! Knowing that Shota Aizawa would appear, I’m glad I followed the series since its serialization (laughs). The passion at the recording studio is just as strong as My Hero Academia! The new cast members are also giving it their all, so please look forward to it!
- Hiroyuki Yoshino as Present Mic (Hizashi Yamada)
Comment:
Thanks to Vigilantes getting an anime adaptation, we get to see a bit more of what the familiar My Hero Academia characters were like in the past! More than anything, I’m excited about the actions of the vigilantes themselves. I hope you enjoy it as much as the original series!
- Akeno Watanabe as Midnight (Nemuri Kayama)
Comment:
Above all else… I get to see Midnight again!!! That’s what makes me the happiest!!!
I’m grateful for this miracle—to not only meet her again but also play a slightly younger version of her. This opportunity is thanks to everyone who has continued to love and support My Hero Academia.
With full determination and a passionate atmosphere at the studio, I hope you enjoy the broadcast!
- Masamichi Kitada as Ingenium (Tensei Iida)
Comment:
Kitada, who voices the first Ingenium, was particularly thrilled about the adaptation. “I’ve been waiting for Vigilantes to get an anime more than anyone else. I’m truly happy about this. I can’t wait to bring the speed and determination of the first Ingenium to everyone. Tensei is an incredibly cool guy, and I’ll do my best to convey his resolve, passion, and fighting spirit from the original story. Let’s race forward together!”
