As you can see below, the promo for Onimusha brings Musashi Miyamoto to life in 3DCG. The character, who is a familiar face in the Onimusha video games, was modeled after actor Toshiro Mifune for this show. As for their voice, the protagonist will be voiced by Akio Otsuka who audiences will know from tons of video games like Metal Gear. And of course, they have quite a history in anime.
After all, Otsuka is perhaps best known these days for voicing All For One in My Hero Academia. The actor has also earned praise for taking over the role of Jigen in Lupin the 3rd, and he also voices Blackbeard in One Piece. Since 1988, Otsuka’s resume has become incredibly impressive, and now the actor is adding Onimusha to the list.
