You might’ve noticed an Ojiro Otori-shaped hole in the Tribe Nine English dub cast list we shared last week, and that’s because we’ve been saving this home-run casting to really run the bases…
Viral sensation Corpse Husband, renowned for his pop culture-infused music and bedrock-deep tones, will be making his anime voice acting debut as the aptly designed antagonist of Kazutaka Kodaka’s (Danganronpa, Akudama Drive) latest high-octane thriller, Tribe Nine!
He joins an all-star lineup of co-stars, including Casey Mongillo (JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure STONE OCEAN) as Haru Shirokane, Jacob Hopkins (To Your Eternity) as Shun Kamiya, Phillip Sacramento as Taiga, Brittney Karbowski (That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime) as Saori Arisugawa, and more listed in the official announcement here.
