The highly anticipated new entry in the beloved Digimon franchise, Digimon Beatbreak, has officially announced its lead voice cast, bringing two seasoned talents to the forefront: Miyu Irino and Megumi Han. The announcement, made via the anime’s official X/Twitter account, has set the stage for the series’ premiere in October 2025, marking it as the tenth television series in the long-running Digimon anime saga.
Veteran Voices to Lead the Digital World
Miyu Irino, a celebrated voice actor known for his versatile range, will portray the protagonist, Tomorō Tenma. Tenma is introduced as a 15-year-old high school student, setting the stage for a classic Digimon narrative centered around a human and their Digital Monster companion. Irino expressed his honor at voicing the main character, reflecting on Digimon being a central part of his childhood playtime. He hopes the new series will ignite the same excitement he once felt for both new and existing fans, transcending age and gender.
Irino’s extensive filmography spans iconic roles across various genres, demonstrating his remarkable talent. He is widely recognized for voicing Haku in Studio Ghibli’s critically acclaimed film Spirited Away, Sora in the Kingdom Hearts video game series, and Shoya Ishida in A Silent Voice. His previous work also includes notable characters such as Jinta “Jintan” Yadomi in Anohana: The Flower We Saw That Day, Kōshi Sugawara in Haikyuu!!, and Syaoran in Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle. Irino is no stranger to the Digimon universe, having previously lent his voice to Monzaemon in an episode of Digimon Ghost Game.
Joining Irino is Megumi Han, who will voice Tomorō’s partner Digimon, Gekkomon. Gekkomon is classified as a reptile-type, Data-species Digimon in its growth stage. Han, a well-known Digimon fan herself, shared her childhood dream of becoming a “Chosen Child” and expressed gratitude that Digimon continues to fulfill her dreams within the industry. She hopes Digimon Beatbreak will offer something universal and unchanging for those who have always longed for the franchise.
Megumi Han has an impressive roster of roles, prominently featuring as Gon Freecss in Hunter × Hunter, Akko Kagari in Little Witch Academia, and Hime Shirayuki / Cure Princess in HappinessCharge Pretty Cure!. Her connection to Digimon runs deep, with previous roles including Takeru in various Digimon Adventure content, Nokia in Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth, and Witchmon in Digimon Ghost Game.
