Onimusha Dawn of Dreams Cast Overview
The Onimusha Dawn of Dreams cast brings together a large Japanese and English voice ensemble for the game’s feudal supernatural story. The central team includes Hideyasu “Soki” Yuki, Jubei Yagyu Akane, Ohatsu, Roberto Frois, and Nankobo Tenkai. Their performances establish the contrast between disciplined samurai, mystical allies, firearms-based fighters, and spiritually important supporting characters.
The credits distinguish between Japanese-version and English-version performances. That separation matters when comparing character portrayals, because several characters have different credited performers in each language. The cast listing also includes additional voices, narration, motion-capture contributors, and production staff.
Video Highlights:
- The story follows Soki and his allies against Hideyoshi Toyotomi’s Genma forces.
- The cast supports a five-character ensemble with contrasting identities and abilities.
- The production emphasizes a distinct fourth entry rather than a numbered continuation.
- Character partnerships and switching are central themes in the game’s presentation.

Start with the five principal playable characters, then expand into supporting and antagonist roles. This makes the large credit list easier to navigate.
Japanese Voice Cast and Character Roles
The Japanese cast gives each major character a distinct vocal identity. Toshiyuki Kusuda is credited as Hideyasu “Soki” Yuki, the samurai at the center of the conflict. Yukana performs Jubei Yagyu Akane, while Sanae Kobayashi voices Ohatsu. Wataru Hatano plays Roberto Frois, and Hideo Ishikawa is credited as Nankobo Tenkai.
The supporting Japanese cast adds historical, supernatural, and political weight. Norio Wakamoto voices Mitsunari Ishida, Keiji Fujiwara voices Munemori Yagyu, and Kenta Miyake voices Sakon Shima. Tôru Ôkawa performs Hideyoshi Toyotomi in the Japanese version, while Yasunori Masutani is credited as the Man in White, identified in the listing as Fortinbras.

English Voice Cast Comparison
The English version features a separate group of performers for the principal characters. David Berón voices Soki, Nika Futterman voices Jubei Yagyu Akane, and B.J. Ward voices Ohatsu. Juan Monsalvez performs Roberto Frois, while Josh Keaton is credited for Munenori Yagyu and Nankobo Tenkai.
Several supporting English roles are also identified. Alastair Duncan voices Mitsunari Ishida, Tara Strong voices Arin, and Brianne Brozey voices Minokichi. Danica McKellar, Dan Conroy, Beng Spies, Andre Stojka, Phil Proctor, Kathryn Fiore, J. Grant Albrecht, and Dave Fennoy are credited for additional voices.
| Character or credit | English performer | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Hideyasu “Soki” Yuki | David Berón | English version |
| Jubei Yagyu Akane | Nika Futterman | English version |
| Ohatsu | B.J. Ward | English version |
| Roberto Frois | Juan Monsalvez | English version |
| Munenori Yagyu / Nankobo Tenkai | Josh Keaton | Two credited roles |
| Mitsunari Ishida | Alastair Duncan | English version |
| Arin (Ako) | Tara Strong | English version |
| Minokichi | Brianne Brozey | English version |
| Additional voices | Multiple performers | Ensemble credits |
The English credits identify Tara Strong as Arin, Alastair Duncan as Mitsunari Ishida, and Brianne Brozey as Minokichi. These roles help fill out the game’s supporting cast without replacing the main five-character focus.
A useful comparison point is the treatment of Tenkai and the Yagyu family. The Japanese listing separates Nankobo Tenkai and Munemori Yagyu between Hideo Ishikawa and Keiji Fujiwara. The English listing credits Josh Keaton with Munenori Yagyu and Nankobo Tenkai. This is a crediting detail worth checking when building character pages or voice-role references.
| Comparison point | Japanese listing | English listing |
|---|---|---|
| Soki | Toshiyuki Kusuda | David Berón |
| Jubei | Yukana | Nika Futterman |
| Ohatsu | Sanae Kobayashi | B.J. Ward |
| Roberto | Wataru Hatano | Juan Monsalvez |
| Tenkai | Hideo Ishikawa | Josh Keaton |
| Mitsunari | Norio Wakamoto | Alastair Duncan |
| Arin | Iho Matsukubo | Tara Strong |
Do not merge Japanese and English performers into a single credit. Always label the language version when documenting a voice actor.
How to Read the Full Cast Credits
The full credits extend well beyond the named character performers. They include directors, writers, producers, composers, production managers, voice directors, sound specialists, animators, motion-capture staff, programmers, designers, and debugging teams.
Kôichi Kimura is listed as director, while Hiroshi Yamashita is credited for the scenario. Yoshinori Ono is listed as producer, and Keiji Inafune as executive producer. The music credits name Jamie Christopherson and Hideyuki Fukasawa. English voice production includes Kris Zimmerman as voice director, with Elliot Anders credited for voiceover recording and editing-related work.
Identify the Language Version
Decide whether the page is documenting Japanese voices, English voices, or both. Keep the two groups in separate columns or sections.
Separate Characters from Staff
Place performers under cast, then organize directors, writers, producers, composers, and technical contributors under their own credit categories.
Confirm Multi-Role Credits
Check whether one performer is credited with more than one character. Josh Keaton’s Munenori Yagyu and Nankobo Tenkai listing is an important example.
Preserve Credit Context
Keep labels such as “Japanese version,” “English version,” “additional voices,” and “uncredited” where they appear in the source.
| Credit department | Named contributors | What the department covers |
|---|---|---|
| Direction and writing | Kôichi Kimura, Hiroshi Yamashita | Direction and scenario |
| Production | Yoshinori Ono, Keiji Inafune | Producer and executive producer roles |
| Music | Jamie Christopherson, Hideyuki Fukasawa | Composition credits |
| English voice production | Kris Zimmerman, Elliot Anders, Brad Beaumont | Voice direction, recording, and editing |
| Animation | Naoto Kuroshima and listed staff | Character design, modeling, and event animation |
| Motion capture | Manabu Nishiguchi and listed staff | Assistant direction and performance capture |
For a reliable reference page, the Dawn of Dreams full cast and crew listing on IMDb provides the detailed credit breakdown. Use descriptive role labels rather than presenting every production contributor as a voice actor.
