Sakamoto Days’ first season has come to an end, concluding the assassin turned convenience clerk tale that has taken the world by storm in both its anime adaptation and its original shonen jump anime. While fans have to wait until July to see Taro Sakamoto, his family, and his friends make a comeback to Netflix, the streaming service has released a brand new behind-the-scenes interview with two of its biggest stars, Aleks Le and Dallas Liu. The pair takes the opportunity for Le to discuss how the two actors met and how Aleks became something of a mentor to Dallas who was stepping into the ring of anime voice acting.

When it comes to voicing anime characters, Aleks Le is no stranger to the medium. In recent years, Le has been a part of franchises such as Demon Slayer, Solo Leveling, Bleach, Dandadan, Undead Unluck, and The Seven Deadly Sins to name a few. Le met Dallas Liu at a convention wherein the veteran voice actor discussed his time in the anime sphere while encouraging Dallas to give it a shot. Of course, Dallas has experience in the acting game, most recently taking on the role of Prince Zuko of the Fire Nation in Avatar: The Last Airbender.
