Kouta Hirano: Greg Ayres Alice Maresato: Serena Varghese Saeko Busujima: Brittney Karbowski Shizuka Marikawa: Monica Rial Rei Miyamoto: Luci Christian Saya Takagi: Shelley Calene-Black Hisashi Igou: Illich Guardiola Rika Minami: Laura Bailey Koichi Shidou: J. Michael Tatum The rest I could see, but Chris Patton is very unlikely. He hasn't been cast in any Sentai dubs since Appleseed, and the last I heard he was leaving anime voice acting to pursue other ventures. He was recently scheduled to attend a con that was suppose to be one of his last, but cancelled due to another commitment.

Huh, where did you hear that from? I also heard similar rumors relating to Vic Mignogna as well.

Well, if this is true, than do you have any alternatives to voice Takashi Komuro across from Johnny Yong Bosch?

We regret to inform you...
Christopher Patton will be unable to attend this year's Tokyo iN Tulsa.
Business obligations have arisen that make his trip impossible. Chris was very much looking forward to making our con one of his last few, as his career has taken him in a new direction - but it just didn't work out in our favor.

If you guys have things you'd like me to send to Chris - fan art, etc - please let me know and I'll see what I can do to get the items to him.

TnT would like to wish Chris nothing but the best of luck with his new career in Books on Tape, and continued success in everything he does.

I would love to see someone new. New blood is always a cool thing to see.

New as in "First major roll" new
