"The Sage Who Calls Himself a Disciple of the Wise Man" is an isekai reincarnation novel originally posted on the novel submission site "Let's Become a Novelist" and now available as a book. With an anime adaptation scheduled to begin airing in January 2022, the series is gaining attention. Ahead of the anime's broadcast next year, we'd like to introduce the voice actors for the main characters! Incidentally, as voice actors for many characters in the anime have yet to be decided, we'd also like to introduce the voice actors for the drama CD version.
Introduction: What is "The Sage Who Calls Himself a Disciple of the Wise Man" about?
Kaguya Sakimori, a 28-year-old young man, plays the VRMMO game "Arc Earth Online" as "Dumbledore," one of the Nine Sages. One day, while playing around with a female character avatar in the character remake mode, Sakimori falls asleep. When he wakes up, he finds himself transported to the game world. Not only is he transported to the game world, but instead of the sage "Dumbledore," he is now the avatar of a female character he created for fun. To hide her true identity, she takes on the name "Mira," a disciple of a sage, and embarks on an adventure in a new world as the beautiful silver-haired "Mira."
Mira: Nichika Omori
Mira's voice is provided by Nichika Omori. A native of Nagano Prefecture, she is affiliated with Across Entertainment. She also voiced Yurika Nijino, one of the main characters, in the 2014 anime "Invaders of the Rokujouma!?" Additionally, in the anime series "Dropkick on Jashin-chan," which is scheduled to air its third season in 2022, she plays Yurine Hanazono, the other main character who lives with the main character, Jashin-chan, punishing and punishing her.
What kind of character is Mira?
Originally a beautiful silver-haired character created by game player Kan Sakimori for fun, Mira was reincarnated into the game world as the character Sakimori created. Furthermore, her personality remained the same as the elderly sage Dumbledore, the character Sakimori used in her gameplay. In order to hide his true identity, he calls himself Dumbledore's apprentice and takes on the name "Mira", a play on his real name, Sakimori Kagami. He hasn't been able to shake the habit he had when playing as Dumbledore, and despite his appearance, he still uses "washi" as his first-person pronoun, which gives the impression of being old-fashioned and unnatural. Although he is shocked at first, he seems to like the beautiful girl's appearance and is not completely opposed, saying things like "I'm cute". He is also skilled in summoning and fairy arts, and is excellent in combat.
Luminaria: Hinata Minami
Luminaria's voice is played by Hinata Minami. A native of Fukushima Prefecture, she has type B blood and is affiliated with Accel One, a well-known agency founded by voice actor Toshiyuki Morikawa. She made waves playing the main character, Bocchi, in the anime "Ranking of Kings." She began her voice acting career in 2020, so it's no surprise she was cast in the lead role shortly after her debut.
What kind of character is Luminaria?
Like Dumbledore, she is one of the Nine Sages, and is characterized by her fiery red hair and eyes. Like Mira, she was originally a game player, and as a male player, she usually speaks masculinely with Mira and Solomon. Unlike Mira, she has enjoyed her feminine appearance from the beginning. When hiding her true identity, she calls herself the "Blue Mage" and dyes her hair blue.
Solomon: Ayumu Murase
Solomon's voice is played by Ayumu Murase. He is originally from the United States and is affiliated with VIMS. Despite being a male voice actor, he is able to produce a feminine voice, demonstrating his exceptional vocal range. While there are many female voice actors who play male roles, such as boys, it is very rare for a male voice actor to play a female role.
What kind of character is Solomon?
Solomon has been in the game world longer than Mira and Luminaria, and is the king of the in-game kingdom, the "Arkite Kingdom." He is friends with Dunbalf, Mira's true identity. Perhaps he sensed something as a friend, as he recognized Mira as Dunbalf from the very beginning. Because he'd been in the game for so long, he was extremely busy as king, but since Mira arrived, he has been supporting her and asking her to do work for him.
Mariana: Yoko Honna (Drama CD Version)
Mariana's voice is provided by Yoko Honna. She's originally from Soka City, Saitama Prefecture, and is currently affiliated with Remax. Originally a child actor, she has a long career as a child actor. As a voice actress, she voiced Nagisa Misumi, one of the main characters in the 2004 series "Futari wa Pretty Cure," the memorable first installment in the Pretty Cure series. She's fluent in Italian and also served as supervisor for the anime "A Certain Magical Index II."
What kind of character is Mariana?
Originally Dunbalf's aide, she continued to watch the house while Dunbalf was away. When she discovered that Mira's true identity was Dunbalf, she was so moved she cried. After learning his true identity, she tried to close the gap between them, as if to make up for lost time.
Galette: Satoshi Hino (Drama CD Version)
Galette's voice is provided by Satoshi Hino. Born in the United States and raised in Tokyo, he is affiliated with Accel One, the agency founded by the aforementioned Toshiyuki Morikawa. He has voiced a variety of characters, including hot-blooded characters, and is best known for playing Kyojuro Rengoku, one of the Pillars, in "Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba."
What kind of character is Galette?
He is the commander of the Royal Guard of the "Arkite Kingdom," the in-game kingdom. He guided Milla to Solomon's Royal Palace when they first met, and since then, he has had many interactions with her as her driver. Milla also seems to trust Galette. He is friendly and polite, but can become obsessed with his favorite armored vehicles.
Summary of the Voice Actors of "The Sage Who Calls Himself a Disciple of the Wise Man"
What did you think? We've introduced the voice actors for the main characters of "The Wise Man's Grandchild," including those in the drama CD version. Since the drama CD version is voiced by well-known voice actors, it's possible that the same will be true for the anime version. Even if different voice actors are in charge, you can still enjoy watching the anime while thinking about the differences and characteristics from the drama CD version. We're already looking forward to the anime broadcast! That's all for today. Thank you for reading.
