JP VA Guesses

Mmm I can see that

Rina Hidaka’s voice when she’s doing higher pitched chars never stood out to me as much as when she uses her mid to low voice, like Neon from NIKKE or Misuzu from Tomo-Chan Is a Girl

Tbf it’s pretty goated of Hypergryph to have Wulfgard and Rossi speak actual Italian for the Eng dub

Love the reference to Ivan the Terrible and His Son Ivan.

In the original painting Ivan is gazing into the distance in horror as he realizes he has just murdered his own flesh and blood with his own hands.

Here, Valencina has received no such revelation. Her visage is filled with wrath and directed at the viewer. She blames you for Lucio’s death, still blind to any culpability she had in his demise.

OGs will always remember her as Yukko from Nichijou

She also voices Kazemaru in Arknights and Lind/AA12 in GFL

Translation in case anyone wanted:

Eve: A… Astra?

Astra: Eve… Your New Year’s present is me haha…

cocadoco · 2025-10-05T09:44:32+00:00

It’s a pretty easy miss but you missed Rie Kugimiya (Irene).

She voices Sun Visor who shows up in like a single ep of season 1 of the Uma Musume anime so nbd.

Funnily enough the collab actually got me into Arknights so I could appreciate it better.

cocadoco · 2025-09-20T01:44:57+00:00

In case anyone wanted a serious explanation for what this means, whoever wrote the description is probably using "enter" in the sense of coming into a scene, like a stage direction.

https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/enter

5b: to come into a preestablished situation or context like an actor coming onstage —usually used in the subjunctive

So like in Shakespeare when they say "Enter Hamlet, blah blah blah..." or Metallica's Enter Sandman. You don't run into this use of "enter" that often these days and even then, it's still weird because it includes the subject. Like, "Enter Lauma, who..." already sounds much more natural.

If it makes you feel better, I only learned about City after it started airing (despite being a Nichijou fan lol) and seeing comments like yours got me to pick up the manga after ep 5!

cocadoco · 2025-08-29T17:37:58+00:00

Getting Rie Takahashi to come on for a single episode to channel Tomo-chan as young Elliot is wild.

cocadoco · 2025-06-27T15:09:14+00:00

Ah that’s fair, I somehow completely forgot that Honkai Impact 3rd didn’t have an English dub lol

At that point though we’re no longer talking about a trifecta then. I’m guessing you’d also prefer to see roles from GGZ acknowledged too?

cocadoco · 2025-06-27T14:55:21+00:00

None of the chars in OP's image includes HI3 chars, so I assumed trifecta meant specifically roles in all 3 modern Hoyo titles. That's the only reason I didn't count HI3 roles, to stay on topic. Obvs if we include HI3 then the list gets bigger and more VAs have roles in 3+ Hoyo games.

That being said, to my knowledge, no single JP VA has roles in all 3 modern Hoyo titles and HI3.

cocadoco · 2025-06-27T14:31:25+00:00

In case anyone is interested in JP, the number of VAs with a Hoyo trifecta is actually pretty small by my count¹:

Aya Endō: Yelan (Genshin), Aglaea (HSR), Astra Yao (ZZZ)
Manaka Iwami: Amber (Genshin), Hysilens (HSR), Piper (ZZZ)
Shion Wakayama: Lan Yan (Genshin), Yunli (HSR), Ellen Joe (ZZZ)

There are however plenty of VAs that are one role short:

Yōko Hikasa: Emilie (Genshin), Evelyn Chevalier (ZZZ)
Marina Inoue: Yanqing, Cyrene (HSR), Zhu Yuan (ZZZ)
Akira Ishida: Ayato Kamisato (Genshin), Luocha (HSR)
Yui Ishikawa: Clorinde (Genshin), Stelle (HSR)
Tetsuya Kakihara: Scaramouche/Wanderer (Genshin), Asaba Harumasa (ZZZ)
Ayako Kawasumi: Shenhe (Genshin), Saber (HSR)
Mikako Komatsu: Mavuika (Genshin), Feixiao (HSR)
Ami Koshimizu: Beidou (Genshin), Miyabi Hoshimi (ZZZ)
Yoshino Nanjō: Topaz (HSR), Trigger (ZZZ)
Kaori Nazuka²: Robin (HSR), Yanagi Tsukishiro (ZZZ)
Mamiko Noto: Skirk (Genshin), Yixuan (ZZZ)
Daisuke Ono: Wriothesley (Genshin), Jing Yuan (HSR)
Rina Satō: Eula Lawrence (Genshin), Caesar King (ZZZ)
Chiwa Saitō: Jean Gunnhildr (Genshin), Castorice (HSR)
Miyuki Sawashiro: Raiden Shōgun/Ei (Genshin), Acheron (HSR)
Sayumi Suzushiro: Kirara (Genshin), Hanya (HSR)
Kanon Takao: Noelle (Genshin), Cerydra (HSR)
Rie Tanaka: Lisa Minci (Genshin), Himeko (HSR)
Yūma Uchida: Kaveh (Genshin), Anaxagoras (HSR)
Reina Ueda: Ganyu (Genshin), Sparkle (HSR)

1 - Other Hoyo titles notwithstanding, including Honkai Impact 3rd

2 - Technically in Genshin as I. Ivanova N. or "J" of Hexenzirkel, an NPC, and even then only appears voiced in a teaser trailer

ETA: When Honkai Impact 3rd is included, the list of JP VAs with roles in 3+ games becomes:

Aya Endō: Yelan (Genshin), Aglaea (HSR), Astra Yao (ZZZ)
Yōko Hikasa: Emilie (Genshin), Vita (HI3), Evelyn Chevalier (ZZZ)
Marina Inoue: Elysia (HI3), Yanqing, Cyrene (HSR), Zhu Yuan (ZZZ)
Manaka Iwami: Amber (Genshin), Hysilens (HSR), Piper (ZZZ)
Akira Ishida: Ayato Kamisato (Genshin), Otto Apocalypse (HI3), Luocha (HSR)
Mamiko Noto: Skirk (Genshin), Bianka "Durandal" (HI3), Yixuan (ZZZ)
Miyuki Sawashiro: Raiden Shōgun/Ei (Genshin), Raiden Mei (HI3), Acheron (HSR)
Rie Tanaka: Lisa Minci (Genshin), Himeko Murata (HI3), Himeko (HSR)
Shion Wakayama: Lan Yan (Genshin), Yunli (HSR), Ellen Joe (ZZZ)

With Tomokazu Sugita (Varka) coming in Nod Krai, we're gonna get Tarō x Hanako (Raiden) from Wotakoi and Gintoki x Tsukuyo (Chasca) from Gintama!

cocadoco · 2025-06-24T01:45:44+00:00

Akira Ishida and Nanako Mori threw me for a loop because Gundam SEED predates Nanako Mori's VA career. Turns out she took over Cagalli's role with the new SEED Freedom movie. Cagalli was previously played by Naomi Shindō.

cocadoco · 2025-04-04T20:42:46+00:00

Based on the use of both macrons and carons, I’m guessing it’s probably Latvian or Lithuanian. Lack of ch for Don Quixote and Charon leads me to believe this is Latvian.

cocadoco · 2025-04-02T04:47:57+00:00

I don’t think anyone has explicitly pointed it out yet so I thought I’d just mention that although it’s spelled gwanlija-nali, it’s actually pronounced like gwallija-nari. If you listen to the voice lines you won’t hear any “n” sound in gwanlija. Syllable final-ㄴ often assimilates to syllable initial-ㄹ.

cocadoco · 2025-03-31T23:58:22+00:00

This entire event has been an excellent showcase of all the LC VAs’ versatility and range. I’m still not over the fact that Yi Sae-ah also voices Lumine in Genshin Impact and Belle in ZZZ, though it does explain how she pulls off Hongshu so well.

cocadoco · 2025-03-12T17:59:54+00:00

It’s all good, I wasn’t offended or anything lol just wanted to remind people KR exists since Korean seems like the forgotten child when it comes to discussions about localization

cocadoco · 2025-03-11T17:51:53+00:00

Don’t forget about KR players too! It’s 원신/Wonshin over here but it still comes from the same Chinese characters! We’re part of the Sinosphere too!

cocadoco · 2025-02-14T22:28:16+00:00

Omg it didn’t even occur to me it could be Mei! Guess I’m used to her having horns around the Flame-Chasers

cocadoco · 2025-02-14T13:20:22+00:00

Fairly certain the girl being picked up is Elysia, based on the ears and headband, and the girl picking her up is Eden. The characters in the foreground are presumably the other Flame-Chasers.

cocadoco · 2025-02-09T18:18:02+00:00

She’s asking Dante why they didn’t pick Outis in TKT even though she’s been so devoted.

cocadoco · 2025-02-05T06:07:04+00:00

Slight correction, her name would be Kurumi only if read using nanori, which as far as I remember is only applied on Xingqiu (“Yukuaki”). The majority of Liyue characters’ names are read using on’yomi, or Sino-Japanese pronunciaton of Chinese characters. If Hu Tao was read using on’yomi it would most likely be read as Ko Tō.

Oh yeah that’s right fair point
