Onimusha: Way of the Sword Voice Actors (Japanese)
If you are an anime fan, you will definitely know some of these original performances. Let’s see who the Japanese voices are and where you’ve heard them.
Miyamoto Musashi by Yoshimasa Hosoya
Hosoya is one of the most legendary voices in the industry, and his range is exactly why he fits a young, unpolished Musashi. Anime fans know him as Reiner Braun in Attack on Titan and Fumikage Tokoyami in My Hero Academia. In games, he played Sonon Kusakabe in Final Fantasy VII Rebirth and Basilio in Metaphor: ReFantazio.
Sasaki Ganryu by Nobuhiko Okamoto
Okamoto built a career on volatile rivals, which makes him an obvious pick for Ganryu. He is Katsuki Bakugo in My Hero Academia and Rin Okumura in Blue Exorcist, and more recently Tianyou Zhao in Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth.
Daidara by Kenta Miyake
Miyake has one of the most recognisable heavy voices in Japan. He is All Might in My Hero Academia and Scar in Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, and in games he plays Zangief in Street Fighter 6 and Roche in Final Fantasy VII Rebirth.
Shuten Doji by Shinnosuke Ogami
Shinnosuke is an amazing talent who has frequently appeared in major games and anime series. He voiced Loffrey Wodring in Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles, Captain Glory in Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy, and the Tech Chief in Monster Hunter: World.
Dokyo by Riho Fushida
Fushida is the least-credited name in the Japanese cast, with her most visible role being Mary Rose in Tiger & Bunny. Onimusha is comfortably her biggest game role to date, which she nailed, honestly.
Oni Lady by Aya Endō
Endō is best known as Sheryl Nome in Macross Frontier, and gacha players will know her as Yelan in Genshin Impact and Aglaea in Honkai: Star Rail.
Fun fact: she has been the official Japanese dub voice of Minnie Mouse since 2016.
Ono no Takamura by Akihiko Ishizumi
Ishizumi is the one name on this list with actual Onimusha history: he voiced Ekei Ankokuji in Onimusha 2: Samurai’s Destiny back in 2002, which makes Way of the Sword a return to the series after more than twenty years. Outside Onimusha, he is Deadman in Death Stranding.
Izumo no Okuni by Chiharu Hokaze
Chiharu got her big start as a member of the digital idol group 22/7. Hokaze got her start as a member of the digital idol group 22/7 before moving into full-time voice work. Her other game credits include Zoya in Kyoto Xanadu.
Rasho-gan by Yasuhiro Mamiya
Mamiya completes the Japanese cast as Rasho-gan. He is Hugo Kupka in Final Fantasy XVI, Pierro in Genshin Impact, and Titamon in Digimon Story: Time Stranger.
Onimusha: Way of the Sword Voice Actors (English)
The English dub was cast almost entirely out of the UK, and it leans heavily on FromSoftware and Larian veterans. Here is the full English cast and where you know them from.
Miyamoto Musashi by Kenichiro Thomson
Onimusha is Thomson’s first video game role, which is a remarkable place to start. The British-Japanese actor is a series regular on Netflix’s The Diplomat, with earlier screen credits in Flack and Britannia.
Sasaki Ganryu by Tashinga Bepete
Bepete is a rising star in the gaming scene. He played Rook in Dragon’s Dogma II and The Savant in Warhammer 40,000: Darktide, both roles that lean on the same controlled menace he brings to Ganryu.
Daidara by Abe Jarman
Abe is a talented actor known for his gritty performances. Jarman comes from screen rather than games, with TV work including The Witcher! Daidara is one of his first major game roles. He brings a grounded, intense vibe to the character of Daidara.
Shuten Doji by Anthony Howell
Is that the iconic voice of the boss Margit: the Fell Omen, in Elden Ring? Yes, it is! Not only that, but he also plays Morgott the Omen King and the Grafted Scion in the same game. Elsewhere, he is Geppetto in Lies of P, Elias in Diablo IV, and Jonathan Reid in Vampyr. Now he is back doing what he does best: another boss.
Dokyo by Clare Corbett
Clare is a legendary voice veteran in the Soulsborne community. She voiced Gwynevere and Priscilla in the original Dark Souls, Maiden Astraea in Demon’s Souls, and in Elden Ring she voiced Irina, Hyetta and one of the female Tarnished voice options. That means most players heard her every time their own character grunted! I’m just saying.
Oni Lady by Yuriri Naka
Naka moves between live-action TV and games. Her most prominent recent game role is The First Sister in Black Myth: Wukong, and she brings the same restrained, unsettling delivery to the Oni Lady.
Ono no Takamura by Shogo Miyakita
Miyakita is a British-born voice artist whose work includes Father Roache in The Excavation of Hob’s Barrow. Ono no Takamura is his biggest role so far.
Izumo no Okuni by Leader Looi
Leader is a versatile voice talent with a background in major triple-A titles. Looi has quietly appeared in several recent big-budget releases: Pingping in Black Myth: Wukong, Gethya in Lost Soul Aside, and Chisa in Wuthering Waves. She delivers a standout performance for Izumo here.
Rasho-gan by Adam Longworth
Longworth handles Rasho-gan in English, with prior game work including Wolven: Lords of Mayhem.
That is the full Onimusha Way of the Sword voice cast. Did you notice any of them until the game’s ending? Which performance stood out most to you? Drop it in the comments.
