Japanese voice actress Wasabi Mizuta will voice Monokuma in Super Danganronpa 2×2. You can hear her performance in a minute-long trailer for the game. Here is the Super Danganronpa 2×2 trailer featuring Monokuma introducing himself, with Usami making a brief appearance as well: Monokuma, the main antagonist and mascot of the series, has had multiple voice actors since the original Danganronpa came out in 2010. At first, the late Nobuyo Oyama (most famous for her work as the titular character in Doraemon) voiced him. Oyama’s dementia made it difficult for her to continue working as a voice actress. Tarako (best known for her work as Maruko in Chibi Maruko-chan) took over for her in V3. Tarako passed away in March 2024, which is why Mizuta has to take over the role of Monokuma. This is not the first time that Mizuta has had to fill in for a character originally voiced by Oyama. This is likely why her impression of Oyama’s performance is so natural. Mizuta is the new voice of Doraemon, having taken over the role back in 2005. Mizuta has also played Boris in the Beyblade series, Mailpo in Yes! PreCure 5 GoGo!, and Tepig in Pokemon: Best Wishes. Producer Shohei Sakakibara has commented on the new voice actress on the Spike Chunsoftt website. After paying his respects and thanking the late actresses for their performance, he asks if everyone was surprised at how new yet familiar Mizuta sounds as Monkouma. He believes that Mizuta’s expressive and unique sense of humor can breathe new life into Monokuma’s character.
