“I Was Forcing Myself to Act Strong”: Demon Slayer Star Reflects on Voicing the Series’ Best Villain

Following the release of Mugen Train, Akaza swiftly gained popularity among fans and has remained in their spotlight since then. He’s made occasional appearances in the anime post-release, but his action scenes as part of the Upper Rank Three were yet to unfold – until now. In the Infinity Castle Arc, he presents a significant challenge for Tanjiro, a hurdle that ranks among the toughest he’s faced so far. The upcoming fight between them is anticipated to be the climactic event in the final arc, with another character joining Tanjiro’s team as an ally. Recently, the voice actors from Demon Slayer attended a stage greeting to celebrate the film’s premiere, and Akaza’s voice actor, Akira Ishida, was also present at this gathering.
