| Character | Japanese Voice Actor | Notes | |-----------|----------------------|-------| | | Yūki Kaji | One of Japan’s top anime stars (Eren Yeager in Attack on Titan , Todoroki in MHA ). His energetic, youthful voice perfectly matched Hiro’s genius-but-immature personality. | | Baymax | Takuya Kimura | This was the biggest surprise. Kimura is a member of the legendary pop group SMAP and a major film/TV actor. He gave Baymax a warm, gentle, slightly monotone baritone—different from the American version’s softer tone, but equally beloved. | | GoGo Tomago | Ayumi Ito | Known for her live-action role as Yuna in Final Fantasy X motion capture. She brought a cool, tough edge to GoGo. | | Wasabi | Hiroyuki Yoshino | Anime veteran (Favaro in Rage of Bahamut ). | | Honey Lemon | Yuko Kaida | Known for mature/energetic roles (Sakuragi in Haikyuu!! ). | | Fred | Shintarō Asanuma | Anime regular (Rai in Noblesse ). | | Aunt Cass | Yoshiko Sakakibara | A legendary seiyū (Hamaguchi in Porco Rosso , Lina Inverse’s mother in Slayers ). Her warm, comedic timing shone. | | Professor Callaghan | Tesshō Genda | The iconic voice of Optimus Prime in the Japanese dub of Transformers . His deep, authoritative voice gave Callaghan weight. | | Tadashi Hamada | Mamoru Miyano | A huge star (Light Yagami in Death Note , Okabe in Steins;Gate ). His casting made Tadashi’s death even more impactful for fans. | | Alistair Krei | Hōchū Ōtsuka | Recognizable as Jigen in Lupin III (2015–present). |
Fans of the franchise might also be interested in the Japanese manga adaptation illustrated by Haruki Ueno, which was released shortly before the film.
