Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2, the sequel to the highly acclaimed anime series Cyberpunk Edgerunners, will return to Netflix later this fall, bringing with it an all-new cast of colourful characters. The first episode of the anime will be previewed at Anime Expo in Los Angeles this weekend, giving fans an early look at one of this year’s most anticipated series.
Ahead of the premiere, the series’ official X/Twitter account announced the voice cast of our four main characters. Here’s where you might have heard them before!
Momoka Terasawa/Valeria Rodriguez as Roman Carax
The young cinephile Roman Carax will be played by Momoka Terasawa in Japanese, primarily known for her roles as Chiharu Kujo in Milky☆Subway: The Galactic Limited Express, Viola Wahlstrom from Fate/strange Fake, and Chika Komari in Makeine: Too Many Losing Heroines.
In English, Roman is played by Valeria Rodriguez, whose notable roles include Rosario from Stranger Things: Tales of ’85 and Venture from Overwatch 2. She is also the English voice of Sucrose from Genshin Impact and Strawberry Crepe Cookie from Cookie Run: Kingdom.
Akari Kito/Kimoy Lee as Talia Yang
Akita Kito is the Japanese voice actress for the deadly but beautiful cyborg Talia Yang. She is best known as the voice behind Nezuko from Demon Slayer, Seiun Sky from Umamusume: Pretty Derby, Promeia from Honkai: Star Rail, and Latte Cookie from Cookie Run: Kingdom.
Talia is voiced in English by Kimoy Lee, a relatively new voice actress who previously provided the English voices for Sana Niwatori from Medalist, Syrup Amai from Witch Watch, Daniel from Trails in the Sky, and Piyoko from Rooster Fighter.
Koki Uchiyama/Nazeeh Tarsha as D
Vengeful netrunner D is voiced by Koki Uchiyama in Japanese, a prolific voice actor whose credits include Roxas from the Kingdom Hearts series, Shigaraki Tomura from My Hero Academia, Mithrun from Delicious in Dungeon, and Toge Inumaki from Jujutsu Kaisen.
His English voice is provided by Nazeeh Tarsha, the voice behind Alhaitham from Genshin Impact, Seth from Zenless Zone Zero, and Kafka Hibino from Kaiju No.8. Nazeeh Tarsha was also recently announced as the new voice actor for Yu Narukami from Persona 4 Revival.
Kentaro Tone/Clancy Brown as Weak Kingsley
Last but certainly not least, the veteran edgerunner Weak Kingsley is portrayed in Japanese by Kentaro Tone, best known for roles like Cressidus from Xenoblade Chronicles 2, Bartre from Fire Emblem Heroes, and Schnell Eligoth from Welcome to Demon School! Iruma-kun.
In English, he is voiced by Clancy Brown, who is perhaps best known for playing Mr. Krabs from SpongeBob SquarePants (yes, really). More serious roles in his oeuvre include Hank Anderson from Detroit: Become Human, Alec Ryder from Mass Effect: Andromeda, and Damien Darkblood from Invincible.
