Kaiju No. 8 Season 2 Will Be A Big Hit

Kaiju No. 8's voice cast will remain the same and chances of someone being replaced are very low. Everyone involved in the first project did a splendid job and performed their respective roles quite brilliantly.

  • Kafka Hibino voiced by Masaya Fukunishi
  • Reno Ichikawa voiced by Wataru Katoh
  • Kikoru Shinomiya voiced by Fairouz Ali
  • Isao Shinomiya voiced by Tesshō Genda
  • Keiji Itami voiced by Takayuki Sugō

There is also a good chance that Kaiju No. 8's new season will feature new faces, so more cast members will be announced down the line.

Like the cast, the staff members are also likely to reprise their roles for season two. This means Shigeyuki Miya and Tomomi Kamiya will direct season two. Ichirō Ōkouchi will handle the scripts, and Tetsuya Nishio will be in charge of the character designs. Shinji Kimura is handling art direction, and Mahiro Maeda will oversee the monster designs.
