"JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stone Ocean" is the sixth part of the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure series. The main character is Jolyne Kujo, the daughter of Jotaro Kujo, the main character of the third part, and it became a hot topic as she is the first female main character in the series. The second season will be broadcast in the fall of 2022, which is attracting attention. In this article, we will introduce who the voice actors of the main characters, including the main character, are! Some of the voice actors may have heard of them in other works, so please read with attention.
What kind of story is it?
The story is set in America in 2011. Jolyne Kujo, who was falsely accused of a crime, is imprisoned in prison. Jolyne's father, Jotaro, gave her a pendant containing a fragment of an arrow, which awakened her to the power of her Stand. Jolyne is told by Jotaro that her imprisonment was a planned plot, and is urged to escape. However, the prison where Jolyne is is not only a place where dangerous criminals gather, but also where Stand users gather.
Jolyne Kujo: Fairouz Ai
The voice actress for Jolyne Kujo is Fairouz Ai. She was born in Tokyo, but lived in Egypt for a time, and is half Egyptian and half Japanese. The reason she wanted to become a voice actress was actually because of the manga "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stone Ocean." When she participated in a reading session by JoJo fans on Skype, she not only wanted to become a voice actor, but also wanted to appear in the JoJo anime. It must have been an emotional experience for her to have such a long-held dream come true. Fairouz herself also released a comment expressing her joy at being chosen to play Jolyne Kujo. In another anime work, she plays the main character in the muscle training-themed "How Heavy Are the Dumbbells You Lift?". Fairouz herself also seems to enjoy muscle training as a hobby.
Hermès Costello: Mutsumi Tamura
The voice actor for Hermes Costello is Mutsumi Tamura. She makes the most of her husky voice and plays many boy roles. In addition to playing boys, she also plays Sonya, a cool high school girl who is a killer, in "Kill Me Baby". In 2014, she took a break from voice acting due to a polyp in her throat. The polyp was successfully removed, and she reported on the radio that she had returned to work.
Emporio Alniño: Atsumi Tanezaki
The voice actress for Emporio Alniño is Atsumi Tanezaki. She has been active as a voice actress for 10 years, but I think it was Anya Forger from "SPY×FAMILY" that really made Tanezaki famous. If you compare the voices of Anya and Emporio, you can see that they have completely different atmospheres, which shows how good Tanezaki's acting skills are. She has played various characters in the past, and each character has a different atmosphere, so it's hard to believe that they are being played by the same person. She gained fame as Anya, and recently many people have praised her for her amazing ability to play different characters.
Foo Fighters: Mariya Ise
The voice actor for the Foo Fighters is Mariya Ise. She is a voice actor famous for her role as Killua in "HUNTER×HUNTER". What inspired her to become a voice actor was watching the musical "HUNTER×HUNTER". Ai Fairouz, mentioned above, also won the lead role in the work that made her want to become a voice actor. It's such a wonderful story that it's hard to imagine a more satisfying story for a voice actor. Another famous character is Cure Lemonade in "Yes! PreCure 5".
Weather Report: Yuichiro Umehara
The voice actor for Weather Report is Yuichiro Umehara. He is a male voice actor from Shizuoka Prefecture. He aspired to become a voice actor because he admired his senior voice actor, Yoshitada Otsuka. He has been active as a voice actor since around 2014 and has appeared in various works. In 2018, he fell ill and took a temporary break, but returned to voice acting in the same year.
Narciso Anasui: Daisuke Namikawa
The voice actor for Narciso Anasui is Daisuke Namikawa. He has been active as a voice actor since he was a child, dubbing child actors in foreign films. As a result, he has a very long career as a voice actor, and although he is now 46 years old, he is a veteran with over 35 years of experience. He still appears in various works consistently.
