One Piece Anime Reveals Vegapunk's Voice Actors

One Piece has been around for ages now, and its anime is about to enter an important era. After years on the air, One Piece is getting ready to kickstart its final act. The manga is still ongoing, of course, but Toei Animation is charging ahead with the anime's Egghead Island arc. Now, we know the new stars joining the anime ahead of the premiere, and they will bring every side of Vegapunk to life.

After all, the One Piece manga made it clear the infamous doctor is not what we were led to believe. Dr. Vegapunk most definitely exists, but he has a number of clones on hand. He uses the six clones to spread out his enormous brain, and we have learned which actors will be bringing the Vegapunks to life. So if you are curious, read on below!

• Vegapunk: Tadano Yohei
  
• Shaka: Sakaguchi Shuhei
  
• Lilith: Hirano Aya
  
• Edison: Shiraishi Ryoko
  
• Phytagoras: Kawashima Tokuyoshi
  
• Atlas: Hondo Kaede
  
• York: Tamura Mutsumi
  

So, there you have it! Toei Animation has found its new stars, and the Egghead Island arc is going to be wild given this much talent. The One Piece anime did not skimp on its casting, and many fans will recognize these new voices once they arrive on the air.

After all, Shaka is being voiced by Sakaguchi Shuhei who's starred in everything from Fairy Tail to Naruto Shippuden. Hirano Aya, the voice of Lilith, is known best for voicing Haruhi Suzumiya as well as Lucy in Fairy Tail. Edison's Shiraishi Ryoko lead Hyatt the Combat Butler as its lead while Hondo Kaeda (Atlas) is newer to the industry. As for Pytagoras, Kawashima Tokuyoshi has been acting since 1996, and he's joined by York's Tamara Mutsumi.

Oh? And as for Vegapunk's original self? He is voiced by Tadano Yohei, the Japanese voice of Rick Sanchez. It's pretty much perfect.
