Adapted from Tatsuki Fujimoto’s popular manga series, the anime “Chainsaw Man” follows Denji, a devil hunter burdened by his deceased father’s debt. Teaming up with the Chainsaw Devil, a seemingly adorable canine with a chainsaw protruding from its body, Denji battles devils and sells their parts. The adaptation spans 12 episodes and a sequel film, “Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc.” While certain elements differ from the manga, the show has been embraced by fans, earning a 97% critic score and a 91% audience rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Critics praise its humor and outstanding animation.

Fans of anime may recognize the original Japanese voice cast or the English dub team from various franchises, video games, and even Marvel adaptations. Though the actors behind the Chainsaw Devil aren’t actual dogs, here’s a glimpse at the notable Japanese and English voice actors of “Chainsaw Man.”

Denji, the protagonist of “Chainsaw Man,” works as a devil hunter primarily to settle his father’s debts. He is voiced by Kikunosuke Toya in the Japanese version, marking Toya’s debut in animation voice acting after a background in theater. His initial role was Shindo Aki in the game “Binding Boyfriend.” Toya has since voiced characters like Donny in “Four Knights of the Apocalypse,” Minoru Kudou in “The Irregular at Magic High School,” and Shūichi Nakatsu in “Hana-Kimi.” His voice is also featured in the 2023 remake of “One: Kagayaku Kisetsu e” as Mamoru Sumii. For his performance in “Chainsaw Man,” Toya received a nomination for the Crunchyroll Anime Award for Best Voice Artist Performance (Japanese) in 2024.

In the English dub, Ryan Colt Levy brings Denji to life. With voice acting credits dating back to 2012, Levy’s voice may be familiar to anime enthusiasts.
