Solo Leveling Anime: Voice Actor Insights and Producer on Korean Studio CollaborationPreviousNext

Solo Leveling's anime adaptation features Japanese voice actor Taito Ban, who described embodying Sung Jinwoo's transformation through natural changes in posture and composure rather than vocal shifts. Producer Atsushi Kaneko discussed launching the project, crediting Sota Furuhashi for initiating it, and highlighted the creative choice to collaborate with a Korean studio for the opening sequence, an uncommon move in Japanese anime production that shaped the series' identity.
