It’s a unanimously common experience for any anime fan out there (sub or dub) to hear a familiar voice when watching a new series that leads to an impromptu Google search mid-episode. When it comes to dubbing anime, there’s often a pool of actors that are the popular pick to cast when choosing the voices for a show’s main crew or gang of villains.
When it comes to Jujutsu Kaisen’s beloved Gojo Satoru, fans may feel like his voice has made frequent appearances in other shows, both new and old; and they wouldn’t be wrong! For any Jujutsu Kaisenfans of either the Japanese or English dub, that are wondering about the true lengths of Gojo’s reach, here are some popular animes where Japanese voice actor Yuichi Nakamura and English voice actor Kaiji Tang have made a sneaky appearance.
8 Japanese VA: Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure- Bruno Bucciarati
Bruno Bucciarati is a bold and head-strong stand user in the Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure universe. Although he can initially come off as overly stern and violent, he still has a very kind and considerate side to him as well. Even when pursuing his dreams and going down the path he commits to, he is willing to put his life on the line for the sake of his values or to protect those he cares about.
While JJBA‘s Bruno has the same kind of “tough but kind” duality Gojo has, Nakamura’s rendition of Bruno is a touch more commanding and much deeper than the voice he uses for JJK‘s Gojo. However, some fans may still be able to hear a bit of the sorcerer coming through Bruno’s dialogue.
7 English VA: Kill La Kill- Kinagase Tsumugu
Kill la Kill‘s Tsumugu is cold and tough. A member of Nudist Beach that despises Life Fibers (including protagonist Ryuko’s buddy, Senketsu), Tsumugu has made it his mission to rid the world of Life Fibres, believing them to be mere parasites that feed off their wearer, eventually killing them. However, his hard exterior finally is broken for a moment, after he realizes that Senketsu does not see Ryuko as a mere resource, but as a trusted friend.
Tsumugu’s overall demeanor is vastly different from Gojo’s carefree attitude, likely leaving JJK and Kill la Kill fans in disbelief that these two polar opposites share an English voice actor!
6 Japanese VA: My Hero Academia- Hawks
Just about every anime fan these days knows My Hero Academia as it’s made a name for itself as one of the most popular shonen anime both in Japan and overseas. While Gojo’s voice actor isn’t part of Deku’s main crew and isn’t present in earlier MHA episodes, Nakamura finally makes an appearance as pro hero, Hawks.
Hawks, real name Keigo Takami, is ranked as the number two pro hero, following right behind his longtime idol, Endeavor. Hawks’ demeanor is similar to Gojo’s and can sound familiar to JJK fans every so often. Not unlike the quirky Gojo-sensei, Hawks also carries a big smile around others but is shrouded with a dark past and heavy burden that he must often hide from others.
Hopefully, the two can find some time to grab a drink together.
5 English VA: Doraemon- Big G (Takeshi “Gian” Gouda)
While Doraemon‘s tough guy Takeshi Gouda is often referred to as “Gian” in the original Japanese run of the animated series, he was given the endearing nickname “Big G” in the American dub where he was voiced by Tang. As Doraemon and his buddies are young children, Tang’s voice is virtually unrecognizable as the same voice actor behind the cool JJK sorcerer Gojo Satoru!
Big G is a reckless, aggressive, and cocky character that also serves as the show’s bully antagonist on occasion. While Big G has a tough side, his voice is shrill and croaky; completely different from Gojo’s charmingly smooth voice.
4 Japanese VA: Haikyuu!!- Kuroo Tetsuro
Among the many volleyball teams that Haikyuu‘s protagonists Hinata and Kageyama meet is Nekoma High; and captain of the Nekoma High’s volleyball team is cool-cat Kuroo Tetsuro. Often referred to as less than favorable names by both teammates and opponents, Kuroo is a sly character that often provokes those around him in a calculated way.
If Kuro isn’t being his up-to-no-good scheming self, then he’s often scolded by his teammates for being too much of a goof in between games. Much like Gojo’s duality with playfulness and provocation, Haikyuu‘s Kuroo Tetsuro’s mischievous ways are often balanced out with his strange humor; keeping his character sharp, but still likable.
3 English VA: Berserk (2016)- Guts
In the 2016 rendition of cult classic Berserk, Tang took the spotlight and voiced the Black Swordsman himself, Guts. Guts is Berserk‘s protagonist (and hero?) and embodies perseverance and the uncanny ability to channel rage (and suffering) into unrelenting power.
Guts is a fan favorite among older generations of anime/manga fans and left Tang rather big shoes to fill! However, his rendition of the angsty (yet kind-hearted) swordsman was a perfect fit and channeled his badass attitude to a tee. Tang’s Gojo voice is less gritty and more light-hearted, making it rather difficult for fans to recognize his voice when comparing his Berserk and JJK roles.
2 Japanese VA: Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood- Greed
After the initial release of the first Fullmetal Alchemist animated series which ran from 2003 to 2004, it was revisited with the fan favorite, Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood series that ran from 2009 to 2010. While Japanese voice actor Junichi Suwabe voiced Greed in the original series, Nakamura took over the role for FMA: Brotherhood.
Greed is a homunculus and being the very embodiment of the sin of greed, acts exactly how one would expect him to. Nakamura’s interpretation of Greed is deep and guttural, giving Greed a (fittingly) cold and menacing voice.
Gojo has his moments of trying to intimidate his enemies but never in the evil way Greed does!
1 English VA: Dragon Ball Super- Vegeta
There are two separate English dubs for Dragon Ball Super; one by Funimation and the other done by Bang Zoom! Entertainment; both with slightly varying scripts. Gojo’s English voice actor, Tang, had the honor of playing the role of Vegeta in the Bang Zoom! Entertainment Dub.
Everything from the cadence, tone, and level of breathiness of Vegeta’s voice is completely different from Tang’s Gojo Satoru voice. Fans wouldn’t be blamed if they couldn’t identify Tang when watching Dragon Ball Super as the direction for Sayans seems to be miles different from that of a sorcerer!
