As announced on Dubbletalk, here are the voice actors for the new class of heroes in the upcoming Broadcast Dub of My Hero Academia. The first episode of the Broadcast Dub comes on 5/4/16!
(4/8/17): Updated up to Season 2, Episode 2! Click here to see Season 2 updates
Synopsis:
There’s a new hero in town! From Studio BONES, the creators of Fullmetal Alchemist, Cowboy Bebop and Space Dandy, comes My Hero Academia, a superhero origin story that soars to the top of the class.
Izuku has dreamt of being a hero all his life—a lofty goal for anyone, but especially challenging for a kid with no superpowers. That’s right, in a world where 80% of the population has some kind of superpowered “quirk,” Izuku was unlucky enough to be born completely normal. But that’s not going to stop him from enrolling in one of the world’s most prestigious hero academies. Now, the only thing standing between him and his first class is the academy’s formidable entrance exam—nothing a little private tutoring from the world’s mightiest hero can’t solve.

J. Michael Tatum |
TENYA IIDA |
 |
 |
| Nurtured on anime classics from the tender age of Star Blazers, et al, this reclusive fanboy-turned-voice actor/writer/ADR director/flake extraordinaire spent more years than he cares to remember in what might charitably be described as freefall before landing, mostly by accident, smack dab on the industry of his dreams. To this day, some believe the small crater made by the impact remains the source of his power.Discovered by Funimation warhorse and visionary ADR director Christopher Bevins, who cast him as Rikichi in 2005’s Samurai 7, Tatum’s inexplicable luck has held long enough to see his flag hoisted on a slew of dream roles, most notably Kyoya Otori in the hit English language dub of Ouran High School Host Club, suave, demonic Sebastian Michaelis in Black Butler and the equal parts maniacal/vulnerable Okarin Rintarou from Steins;Gate. Other characters the man still can’t believe he’s had the crazy good fortune to play include: Doumeki in XXXHolic, Jiro Mochizuki in Black Blood Brothers, Isaac Dian in Baccano!, Both God Eneru and Dalton in the new dub of One Piece, Komui Lee in D-Gray Man, Dororo in Sgt. Frog, the titular loveable savage of Heroic Age, Ryosuke Takahashi in Initial D, Lawrence Kraft in Spice and Wolf, Zarbon in Dragon Ball Z Kai, Scar in Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood, and Sir Hammerlock in the videogame juggernaut Borderlands 2. His vocal “stylings,” much to the chagrin of drama teachers everywhere, he’s sure, have also been featured in Romeo X Juliet, Speed Grapher, Trinity Blood, Kenichi: The Mightiest Disciple, Black Cat, Nabari no Ou, Ghost Hunt, School Rumble, The Tower of Druaga, Aquarion, Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicles, Shuffle, Shigurui, Glass Fleet, Mushishi, Soul Eater, along with feature- length films such as Vexille, Summer Wars, and Dragon Age: Dawn of the Seeker, among many others.And as if being involved with so many awesome shows wasn’t enough, in late 2007 the fluky so-and-so tempted fate by officially branching out into ADR directing and adaptive scriptwriting for Funimation as well. His ADR directing credits to date include Aquarion, Jyu-oh-Sei, Romeo X Juliet, Big Windup, Rin: Daughters of Mnemosyne and Shikabane Hime (Corpse Princess), while his writing credits include substantial work on Ouran High School Host Club, Heroic Age, Initial D, Blassreiter, Ga Rei: Zero, Hero Tales, Legend of the Legendary Heroes, Fractale, Deadman Wonderland, Steins;Gate and Dragon Ball Z Kai.In early 2010 he teamed up with Terri Doty and Stephen Hoff to launch That Anime Show, a web-based chat show centered on colorful, often diabolically unhinged interviews with friends and colleagues within the dubbing industry, all episodes of which can be downloaded for free at http://thatanimeshow.com/Ever the workaholic, Tatum is currently burning the midnight oil on a number of exciting projects due for release later this year. And before you ask, the “J” stands for… Well, it stands for whatever you’d like it to. | |

Back when people were getting ready for Y2K (remember that?) Eric Vale was getting ready for an audition. Little did he know it would change the course of his career. He was auditioning for an anime series called Dragon Ball Z as the character of Trunks. After booking the role, he dove head first into anime voice over playing over 100 characters for FUNimation Entertainment. In addition to his voice acting, Eric also spent nearly ten years as a head writer for FUNimation adapting over fifty anime programs such as One Piece, Witchblade, Dragon Ball Z and GT, Desert Punk, and Blue Gender. In addition to scripting anime, Eric has also written the original animated programs Miles Away and Switchback as well as the feature screenplays Chariot, Psychoclops, Max Come Home, The Rialto, Purity, and the TV pilot The Wrong Side. And because he just canʼt sit still sometimes, Eric dipped his pen in the ink of the literary world and his short story The Beautiful Middle of Nowhere was published in Slice Magazine last year. In his personal life, Eric’s a husband and father to two children. His son, Quinn, is in college and pursuing a theatre degree (no matter how much dad warned him against it.) His daughter Lily is about 15 years younger than her brother, which makes for an interesting dynamic in the home. One of Eric’s passions in life is to spread awareness about autism and autism research. This is a subject that deeply affects his family and, whether you know it or not, affects each and every one of us. If autism hasn’t touched your life, some day it will. Like an out of control freight train, Eric continues to barrel forward with many independent projects as a writer and actor. Want to know more about Eric and what heʼs involved with these days?

Since then, John has gone on to voice hundreds shows and characters with FUNimation, ADV Films, Switchblade Films, Sentai Films, Okratron 5000, Gearbox, Seraphim Digital and Illumitoons just to name a few. John’s wife once quipped that there are certain actors who might be the “Brad Pitts” of anime but John is the “Kevin Bacon” of anime.
Being more of the character actor type has given John the freedom to voice bazillions of characters such as Undertaker in Black Butler, Salvador in Borderlands II (VG), Gendo in Evangelion, Sgt. Hauser in Halo (VG), Lord Death in Soul Eater, Hoenheim in Fullmetal Alchemist, Sir Crocodile in One Piece, Dodoria in DBZ Kai, Kogoro in Sgt. Frog, Huang in Darker than Black, Hades in Fairy Tale, Zachary in Attack on Titan, Aramaki in Ghost in the Shell, and Jinnouchi in Summer Wars, as well as roles in the live action films 2009 Lost Memories, Conduct Zero, Yesterday, Jungle Juice, and the Gamera trilogy. Most recently you can catch John in the broadcast series of GANGSTA as Chad, and Akame Ga Kill as Bols as seen on Toonami.
John is also very excited to be playing one of the title roles in Funimation’s theatrical release (March 2016) of Mamoru Hosoda’s film, The Boy and the Beast. John plays the Beast, Kametesu.
In 2004, John jumped to the other side of the “mic” to direct. Some of the shows he has directed include Welcome to the N.H.K., AirGear, Wandaba Style, St. Seiya, Shadow Skill, E’s Otherwise, Michel, Jinki Extend and Shinobi (live action co-directed with longtime pal, Kyle Jones). John loves working in the world of anime as a director and voice actor! Currently John is working with pals Kyle Jones and Jay Hickman on an original animation full length movie called The Perfect Khan. In addition to anime, John has voiced thousands of radio and tv commercials – even acted in a few films. One of the coolest acting jobs was being the Beer Delivery Guy in Dazed and Confused. |

Heck Yeah! Dub coming soon then?
next week
Where does it say that?
They announced it on dubbletalk last night
Does that mean the rest of the broadcast dubs come out next week?
I can’t wait to hear the dub!
Chris Sabat and Luci Christian?? Definitely gonna watch the English dub!
I kinda wanted Clifford Chapin to voice Izuku, but I guess he’ll do good as Bakugo. I’m glad to see Luci Christian in the cast (she’s an amazing voice actress). So far the cast looks really good. P.S. I know that Chris Sabat will do an amazing job as All Might. I’m also looking foward to Justin Briner’s performance as Izuku.
I didn’t think the broadcast dubs would come out this soon considering some of the anime has been delayed due to the earthquakes.
I love Luci Christian! If she’s in the dub you know its gonna be great :p
I kinda disagree with some of the voice actors, and the dub came out to soon but I love my hero academia!!! but Izuku voice actor doesn’t fit him and ochaco I’m not too sure? I don’t know so much anime with her voice in it but over all I’m ok With it. I’m just gonna stick with the subbed version 🙂 hopefully the dub is great, looking forward to it!!!
The first episode of the dub hasn’t came out yet, just give Justin Briner a chance as Izuku first before saying that the voice don’t fit him. It’s the same thing with Luci Christian as Ochaco. I’m really looking foward to Chris Sabat’s performance as All Might (I’m sure it’ll be epic).
So much hype, can’t wait for this dub. I watched the first four episodes in subs but now that the dub has a schedule planned I can’t wait!
wheres the rest of the dub cast?
You’ll find that out once the dub premieres.
“Ochaco” No. Please don’t do that. Please keep it as Ochako.
The damage has probably already been done.
It’s just spelled differently, I’m sure that it’ll be pronounce the same way. Replacing a “K” with a “C” isn’t a big deal.
Meh
I hope that Bryce Papenbrook, Matthew Mercer, Kang Tagi, Chermai Leigh, Patrick Seitz, Todd Hadberkon, Kyle Hebert, and some other Californian actors joined Funimation appears in this dub.
Who’s Kang Tagi, don’t you Kaiji Tang? If you mean him, he never worked for FUNimation yet. I hope Chris Cason comes back, he’s been doing a lot of ADR work (and some voice acting) in LA recently.
Actually, Kaiji Tang provided voices for both Lord Marksman and Vanadis (Pierre) and Prince of Stride: Alternative (Nobuhiko Nagatsuka). It’s conceivable that these were rare occasions, but the possibility also exists that he will appear in future Funimation titles.
If he does show up in My Hero Academia, I think that Kurogiri would be a great fit for him.
I never knew that because I haven’t watched those shows yet and I’m not interested on watching them at this time.
Based Sabat as All Might? Hell yes!
Well since Luci Christian’s voicing Ochako guess I have the watch the dub too.
Thanks for updating the cast list to episode 13!
