SEGA Reveals English Voice Cast for Yakuza 0: Director’s Cut

Sure, here’s a reworked version of the article:

Okay, so Sega is doing this big thing with Yakuza 0, right? They’re finally bringing it to the Nintendo Switch 2 as a Director’s Cut, coming out on June 5, 2025. Seems miles away but also, weirdly, just around the corner. They dropped some juicy details – like, we’ve got an English voiceover cast now! That’s a thing. Not that you have to use it, but options are nice, I guess?

And the theme song! “Bubble” by Shōnan no Kaze. It’s in a trailer — somewhere above, I think. Maybe give it a listen. Or don’t – it’s your call.

So, Yong Yea is the guy for Kazuma Kiryu. He’s a voice actor and a YouTuber – multitasking goals or something. Then there’s this Topher Ngo dude who is doing the singing parts. Singing in games – never thought about that much, but sure!

Also, there’s a parade of others – David Hayter, who you might remember from somewhere, maybe Matt Mercer, Kaiji Tang, some other voices. Familiar enough? Could be, might not be. I lose track sometimes.

Honestly, between you and me, I’m sticking with the OG Japanese voices. It just feels authentic, y’know? But hey, English options are there if you’re into that.

Wanna know the whole cast lineup? Here’s the scoop:

– Kazuma Kiryu – Yong Yea / Topher Ngo (Singing)
– Goro Majima – Matt Mercer
– Akira Nishikiyama – Kaiji Tang / Greg Chun (Singing)
– Makoto Makimura – Risa Mei
– Osamu Kashiwagi – David Hayter
– (And then a bunch of others…)

They even tossed out a couple of clips for flavor – Kiryu and Majima in action. I dunno, some people dig seeing snippets like that. I just get distracted by background stuff most times.

So, where does this leave us? Excited? Meh? How do those English voices hit you in Yakuza 0? Shout out your thoughts if you feel like it – or don’t. Just, y’know, keep it cool in the comments. No need for drama.
