Introducing the New Cast Members
Familiar Voices Join the Organization
Nobuhiko Okamoto is a voice actor who has screamed his way into fans' hearts, shouting and screaming through several roles, such asKatsuki Bakugo fromMy Hero Academia, Satan’s spawn Rin Okumura fromBlue Exorcist, Karasuno’s dynamite libero Yu Nishinoya fromHaikyuu!, and the gun-toting Genya Shinazugawa fromDemon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba; however, what’s brilliant about Okamoto is his surprising range. You’d think he’d only play characters who lack an inside voice, but then he pulls out understated, softer performances like Kuma fromOne Piece, Himmel fromFrieren: Beyond Journey’s End, Ryo Kurokiba fromFood Wars!(who’s quiet when he isn’t cooking) and even Otonashi fromAcchi Kocchi(which is funny, because “otonashi” literally means quiet).
Based on the character design of Natsuki Seba, whom Okamoto will play inSAKAMOTO DAYSepisode 7, we can expect another “understated” Okamoto performance. On the other hand, Kashima will be voiced by Kazuyuki Okitsu, who is Okamoto’s colleague inMy Hero Academia, playing the role of Fat Gum, and in Haikyuu!, where he plays Suguru Daishō. Interestingly, Okitsu has voiced another character named Kashima, from theIs It Wrong to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon (DanMachi)series. Okitsu’s most famous roles include Masa fromGokushifudō: The Way of the Househusband, Luke Notos Greyrat fromMushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation, Shinzō Yozakura fromMission: Yozakura Familyand Serpico fromBerserk (2016).
SAKAMOTO DAYS is available to stream onNetflix. New episodes are released on Saturdays.
