In mid-October this year, voice actor Kazunari Tanaka, who voiced the coach role in the current hit "Volleyball Boy", died of brainstem hemorrhage at the age of 49. Recently, the official officially announced the results of the voice actor change in "Volleyball Boy".

According to the official announcement, from the ninth episode of the anime, the voice actor of Wu Yang's heart will be taken care of by Yoshio Egawa. Yoshio Egawa is known for various well-known animated supporting characters, and his voice has a sense of blood, often with hot-blooded men or cold-blooded villains. Representative works include Slam Dunk Master Rikanhae Ace Maki Shinichi, and Saigo Tetsumori of the Four Heavenly Kings of Kabuki Street in Gintama.
Uyang Ishin is the grandson of the famous general Uyang who once led the powerful Uye. He still loves volleyball and organized a volleyball team. Therefore, I want to cherish the memories of my youth and do not want to return to the stadium as a coach. The setting of his character and the voice line that Yoshio Egawa is good at are actually very consistent. However, the sound that has accompanied us for so long has disappeared, and people can't help but feel very emotional.
