Tatsuhisa Suzuki will no longer voice Draken in Tokyo Revengers

Ken Ryuguji, or Draken as he’s better known in popular manga/anime series Tokyo Revengers will no longer be voiced by Tatsuhisa Suzuki. Earlier today, the Tokyo Revengers Twitter account made the announcement, together with a screenshot of the same announcement over on the series’ official website.

In English, the tweet reads, “We would like to announce that Tatsuhisa Suzuki, who has been playing the role of Ken Ryuguji, will be replaced after discussions between his agency and the production committee. The cast and staff of ‘Tokyo Revengers’ will continue to work together on the production of the ‘Christmas Showdown’ arc.”

Currently, there is no word of a new voice actor for Draken in Tokyo Revengers, following the dismissal of Suzuki. The voice actor has lost several voice acting roles after allegedly cheating on his wife, LiSA. Amongst them include Anos Voldigoad from The Misfit of Demon King Academy and Regal from Alchemy Stars. He has since been replaced by Yuichiro Umehara for the former, and Shintaro Asanuma for the latter.

Voice actors losing their roles after cheating allegations isn’t uncommon for the Japanese voice acting industry. Earlier this month, Runa Narumi also didn’t voice Yuika Mitsumine in the latest event for The Idolmaster: Shiny Colors after allegations of cheating on her boyfriend, a popular YouTuber known as Mokou.
