Let's Go Karaoke! Anime Unveils Four Dynamic New Cast Members

Fans of the highly anticipated anime adaptation of Yama Wayama's hit manga, Let's Go Karaoke! (Japanese title: Karaoke Iko!), are buzzing with excitement. Four new voice actors have been revealed, joining the already stellar cast. These fresh additions are set to bring even more vibrant life to the series' distinctive yakuza characters, making their debut in the much-anticipated fourth episode.

New Voices Join the Ensemble

The newly announced talents include Taichi Takeda, lending his voice to the character Sake (Alcohol) Allergy; Shōhei Kajikawa, taking on the role of Former No. 4; Takumu Miyazono as the intriguing Nakibokuro; and Soungdok, embodying Gura-san (Mr. Glasses). Their inclusion promises to deepen the already rich tapestry of the underworld figures populating this one-of-a-kind narrative.

These new voices join an impressive ensemble that already features industry veterans such as Jin Urayama as the Boss, Yōji Ueda as Alien, and Hidenobu Kiuchi as Big Brother Yamaha. The cast also includes a formidable roster exceeding a dozen yakuza roles, with talents like Yukihiro Nozuyama, Shigeo Kiyama, and Yūma Uchida.

A Unique Premise Unfolds

This collaborative production, slated to premiere on July 24, 2025, across major platforms including ABEMA and TV Tokyo, centers on an improbable yet captivating relationship. It follows Satomi Oka, a high school choir singer, and Kyouji Narita, a yakuza lieutenant. Narita desperately seeks vocal coaching from Oka to triumph in his crime syndicate boss's annual karaoke competition, setting the stage for a delightful blend of musicality, gangster comedy, and heartfelt coming-of-age drama.

The series has garnered significant attention for its novel concept and compelling character performances. The strategic introduction of these new yakuza voices in episode four is poised to further enhance the intricate, often humorous, world of karaoke-themed yakuza life. With a dedicated stage presentation planned for the prestigious Kyoto Manga Anime Fair (KyoMAF) on September 20, the series' escalating popularity and the fervent anticipation among anime enthusiasts are undeniable.

This latest wave of casting announcements not only assures viewers of continuous character evolution but also hints at even more engaging story arcs unfolding in the episodes to come, solidifying Let's Go Karaoke! as a must-watch series.
