Koei Tecmo has revealed the Japanese voice actors for some of the characters who will appear in Dynasty Warriors Origins. The company gradually made the revelations via its Tokyo Game Show 2024 stream and the game’s Japanese official website.
The list features a number of Japanese voice actor changes made for some of the existing characters. In a prior interview with Famitsu, the game’s producer Tomohiko Sho noted that he employed new voice actors for characters who have drastic design changes from prior entries.
The above point is evident from Ryota Takeuchi replacing Yasuhiko Kawazu for voicing a more serious depiction of Zhang Jiao and Yohei Azakami replacing Yukimasa Kishino as a younger Cao Cao. However, it turns out that the voice actor changes also apply to some characters who do not have major changes, such as Zhao Yun, Lu Meng, and Diaochan.
