“Dragon Ball DAIMA”! Pick up 5 Seiyu who play mini characters! [Trends]
©️ Bird Studio / Shueisha, Toei Animation
In the second episode of the TV anime “Dragon Ball DAIMA” broadcast on October 18, the main characters were made smaller by a plot hatched by King Gomâ (CV. Shotaro Morikubo).
In conjunction with this “miniaturization,” the voice actors of long-time favorite characters were changed, creating quite a stir among anime fans! (By the way, Goku is still voiced by Masako Nozawa!)
So this time, we would like to take a look at the five voice actors who will be playing the roles of Krillin, Vegeta, Piccolo, Bulma, and Majin Buu in the mini-version!
Krillin (Mini)

I would really like you to listen to the voice sample of “boy lines” from the office profile!
It seems to be close to the voice of Mayumi Tanaka, the voice actress of the original Kuririn!
2021, They and their family bought a used house and are doing a DIY self-renovation with their carpenter father, which is uploaded on YouTube. The doggy and cat are cute too!

Vegeta (mini)
Yudai Mino
Office Profile (with voice sample)
Yudai Mino was selected for the major role of Vegeta’s mini! Apparently, he took a break from X-posting from March 11 to October 18 to concentrate on the role after he was chosen for this role.
Along with the announcement of this voice actor, he has resumed X-posting!
Ryo Horikawa’s voice is so impressive that there must have been a lot of pressure to play Vegeta.
After watching the second episode, I would say I don’t feel any sense of discomfort, and I felt he was perfect for the mini-role.
I felt that he must have studied the character and Ryo Horikawa’s performance quite a bit!

In his recent posts, he seems to like fishing and uploaded a picture of him going boat fishing with voice actors Yohei Azakami and Shotaro Uzawa.
In addition to his current voice acting activities, he is also the vocalist of the rock band Cait-C (Ket-Sea).

Master Roshi and Mr. Satan are also miniaturized! Don’t miss the cute scene of Goten and Trunks playing together in the second episode when they are too small.
And there are still some characters who have not yet appeared in the series and whose voice actors have not been announced on the official website. Who will it be? The battle to predict the casting will also be exciting.
The character design for this work was done by Akira Toriyama, who passed away on March 1 this year!
These miniaturized characters, as well as precious character illustrations drawn by Akira Toriyama-sensei, have also been announced. This is a work that Mr. Toriyama was looking forward to, so let’s be sure to keep an eye on the upcoming broadcast!
