Alright, so I’ve been spending some time with this character, Calcharo. Really cool design, interesting personality. But what really stuck out to me was the voice acting, specifically the Japanese track. There was just something about it, you know? That low, steady tone. It got me curious, really curious, about who the voice actor was.
So, the first thing I did, naturally, was fire up my usual search engine. Typed in the obvious stuff: “Calcharo Japanese voice actor”, “Calcharo JP VA”, things like that. I expected it to be straightforward, maybe pop up on a wiki page or the official game site right away.
Well, it wasn’t quite that simple. I got a mix of results. Some fan wikis listed a name, but sometimes wikis can be edited by anyone, so I wasn’t 100% sure. Other forums had discussions, but people were just guessing or asking the same question I had. I clicked around for a bit, checking different sites, but didn’t find anything that felt super solid or official. The official game website didn’t seem to have a dedicated cast page easily accessible, or maybe I just missed it. It was a bit frustrating.
I figured I needed to dig a little deeper. Sometimes the info surfaces in places you don’t expect. I started searching specifically on Japanese fan sites and forums. Used a bit of online translation to navigate. It took some time, scrolling through discussions, looking at character info pages people had put together. Lots of talk about the character, strategy, but finding the specific voice actor credit was proving tricky.
Then, I switched tactics slightly. I started searching for recent interviews with the game developers or maybe promotional event coverage. Sometimes they mention the cast during those things. I also looked through social media, searching for the character’s name in Japanese alongside terms like “声優” (seiyuu – voice actor).
Finally! I landed on a forum thread discussing a recent official livestream or maybe it was a character reveal trailer breakdown. Someone had transcribed a part where the cast was mentioned, or they linked to a timestamp. And there it was, the name of the voice actor for Calcharo. To double-check, I searched for that actor’s name along with Calcharo again, and this time, found a couple more sources, like reputable fan news accounts, confirming it.
Took a bit more effort than I initially thought it would! But yeah, managed to pin down who the Japanese voice actor is. It’s always satisfying to finally connect a voice you enjoy hearing to an actual person. Now I’m kinda curious to check out their other work.
