In addition to its fascinating story, this work is also appealing for its characters' unique movements and interactions. In other words, the enjoyment of this work as an anime depends on the skill of the voice actors who bring out the charm of the characters. With that in mind, you'll be even more curious about the voice actors who will be appearing in this work. So, today we'll be giving a quick summary of the voice actors who will be voicing the characters that appear in Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid. We'll also be introducing the characters, so be sure to check that out as well!
Tamura Mutsumi (Kobayashi)
The voice of the main character, Kobayashi, is provided by voice actress Tamura Mutsumi. Her name is pronounced Mutsumi. In addition to her role as Kobayashi in this work, Tamura has been active in the anime industry since around 2007, voicing many characters.
Introducing Mutsumi Tamura
As mentioned earlier, Mutsumi Tamura has voiced characters in many works, making her an extremely experienced voice actor who can consistently portray a variety of characters. Her voice is unobtrusive and easy to understand, making her the perfect voice for a protagonist like Kobayashi.
About Kobayashi
Kobayashi is the protagonist of this work. The story begins when he, while drunk, saves the dragon Thor from near-death. While he is generally apathetic and uninterested in others, he is also generous in helping those who rely on him, such as Thor and Kanna.
Yuki Kuwahara (Thor)
Yuki Kuwahara will voice Thor, Kobayashi's maid and the title character of this series. Thor is an essential character in this series, and the role will test the skill of the voice actor who plays him.
Introducing Yuki Kuwahara
The voice of Thor is played by Yuki Kuwahara. She has a lively and cheerful voice that is perfectly suited to the lively character. Yet, one of her charms is that her voice quality is not overly assertive and blends seamlessly into the story. She's truly the perfect voice actor for Thor.
Introducing Thor
Thor is a maid working for the protagonist, Kobayashi-san. As the title of this work, "Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid," suggests, Thor plays an important role in the story. He is one of the most popular dragons in the series.
Tomomi Mineuchi (Iruru)
Tomomi Mineuchi will be voicing Iruru, the most anticipated character in Season 2. As Iruru is a popular character who first appears in Season 2 of the anime, many people are probably curious about who will be playing her in this series.
Introducing Tomomi Mineuchi
Tomomi Mineuchi has been working as a voice actress since around 2017. While she's one of the less experienced voice actors in this series, she's been chosen for the particularly popular role of Ilulu, so we can expect great things from her! She still has a lot of potential, so we're looking forward to seeing her and Ilulu in action in this series.
Introducing Iruru
Iruru appears in this work as a character who opposes Thor. He not only harasses Thor, but also Kobayashi early in his story, making him a character who adds excitement to the otherwise leisurely flow of the story.
Yuichi Nakamura (Makoto Takita)
Yuichi Nakamura continues to voice Takita, continuing from the previous season. Takita is a somewhat unusual character, as he usually has a handsome aura, but his tone suddenly changes when he starts talking about otaku topics. In the first season, he managed to capture Takita's quirks so well that many fans were impressed.
Introducing Yuichi Nakamura
Yuichi Nakamura has played numerous roles since around 2001, making him a true veteran voice actor. It's precisely because of his extensive experience playing so many characters that he's able to portray the captivating Takita.
About Makoto Takita
Takita is a colleague of Kobayashi's, and he shares his involvement with dragons. Like Kobayashi, Takita has the dragon Fafnir living with him, and it could be said that he is the only person Kobayashi can confide his dragon-related worries to.
Daisuke Ono (Fafnir)
Daisuke Ono voices Fafnir, the dragon who lives in Takita's house.
Introducing Daisuke Ono
In addition to Fafnir, Daisuke Ono is also a highly acclaimed voice actor, having been selected to play the protagonist Susumu Kodai in "Space Battleship Yamato 2199," a remake of the legendary "Space Battleship Yamato," a work considered a milestone in Japanese sci-fi anime. We're excited to see how he'll portray Fafnir in the second season of the series.
Introduction to Fafnir
Fafnir is not a dragon who is completely dependent on humans like Thor or Kanna. He is a character who views them and humans from a somewhat bird's-eye view. Many people say that they are drawn to Fafnir's unwavering way of life as a dragon.
Yuuki Takada (Erma)
Yuuki Takada voices Elma, a dragon who, like Kobayashi, works hard at her job despite being a dragon.
Introducing Yuki Takada
Yuki Takada is a voice actress known for her boyish voice. She tends to play more tomboyish and slender female characters than cute ones. She's the perfect voice actress for Elma, a hard-working office lady!
Introducing Elma
Elma is the second character to have become accustomed to the human world, following Thor. She solves problems in the human world with the kind of energetic action only a dragon can pull off.
Minami Takahashi (Rucoa)
The voice of the passionately popular character, Rucoa, is provided by Minami Takahashi.
About Minami Takahashi
Minami Takahashi is a voice actress who has voiced characters such as Elf Yamada in "Eromanga Sensei" in addition to this work. It's surprising that despite being known for her cute, tsundere voice like Elf Yamada, she can also voice a mature woman like Lucoa in this work.
Introducing Lucoa
Lucoa is Shota's familiar. Her bold, heterochromatic features—blonde eyes, large breasts, and a strikingly large bust—have earned her a large male fanbase.
Kaori Ishihara (Shota Magado)
Ishihara voices Shota, Lucoa's master. He's a very popular character in this series with many female fans, so you'll want to check out this character's voice actor as well.
Introducing Kaori Ishihara
Kaori Ishihara is a highly talented voice actress, having won the New Actress Award at the 7th Seiyuu Awards in 2013. She is an exceptionally skilled voice actress, fluent in both male and female characters. She's sure to captivate many fans with her outstanding voice acting potential in this work.
Introducing Shota Magatsuchi
Shota is a character who struggles with the challenges of dealing with his powerful familiar, Lucoa. It's not that he dislikes her, but rather that he wonders if he's worthy of her. His determination to move forward despite these struggles is what makes him so appealing.
Summary
Did you enjoy this? This time, we've introduced the voice actors who appear in this series, along with the roles they play. The best part of anime is the many fascinating characters and the stories they inhabit. But it's even more fascinating to learn about the voice actors who play these fascinating characters. This isn't just limited to this work, but I highly recommend researching voice actors before watching an anime. When you watch another anime, you'll notice things like, "Oh, this voice actor also appeared in this anime," and you'll be able to think about the connections to other anime. I definitely recommend researching voice actors for other works as well.
