Takahiro Sakurai
The two leads, Haseo and Atoli, were voiced by Takahiro Sakurai and Ayako Kawasumi. Matsuyama was surprised by Sakurai's performance during Avatar battles where Haseo yells to summon Skeith; these were among Matsuyama's favorites as a result. Kawasumi also enjoyed voicing her character across thee series. Other major actors include Megumi Toyoguchi and Mitsuki Saiga. Kaori Nazuka reprised her role as Shino from ".hack//Roots". She enjoyed the process due to the friendship she formed with Sakurai and Hiroki Tōchi (Ovan) during the recording of the series. As in the previous games, Matsuyama appears and voices a character in Japanese, this time as Piros the 3rd.
