The release date of the Chainsaw Man anime will come around real soon, but until then the hype will only grow as the Studio MAPPA anime will be based on one of the most popular manga of all time! But what performances can we expect? Who should be the Chainsaw Man voice actors that will truly make this an anime to remember?
About Chainsaw Man
For any newcomers, Chainsaw Man is a forthcoming anime based on a gritty shonen manga written and illustrated by Tatsuki Fujimoto.
In the odd alternate world of Chainsaw Man, certain historical events have not happened while Devils born of human fears roam in the world and wreak havoc.
Denji is a Devil Hunter. Accompanied by his Devil pet, Pochita, he captures malevolent demons and employs them in contracts with humans in an attempt to pay off the debt his father left him with.
When a failed mission ends Denji's life, Pochita saves him by merging with him. Now a Chainsaw Devil, Denji is capable of transforming parts of his body into chainsaws!
Soon after, Denji is employed by Makima, a Devil Hunter who runs an unorthodox military unit consisting of Devils who follow her for their own complex reasons.
Will Denji achieve his dream to lead a fulfilling life this time around?
Who Will Be The Chainsaw Man Voice Actors?
The Chainsaw Man voice actors haven't been officially announced yet, but this is actually going to happen very soon.
The official teaser consists of music only, meaning that it isn't possible to guess by listening to it.
Stay tuned, as we're going to update this space with any announcement about the cast of the highly anticipated horror anime.
Chainsaw Man Voice Actors Predictions
As is often the case with very hyped anime, fans will look out for any suggestion of news, as well as come up with their own predictions, and Chainsaw Man is no different.
Back in 2021, Twitter users shared images with the alleged cast of Chainsaw Man which, however, hasn't been acknowledged by Studio MAPPA or by Crunchyroll.
According to that tweet, Nobuhiko Okamoto (Karma from Assassination Classroom) is going to voice Denji, the main character. Many fans on Reddit and elsewhere seem to agree that this voice actor would make a great Denji.
Other bets for the Chainsaw Man protagonist include Gakuto Kawajiri (Asta from Black Clover) although Nobuhijo Okamoto remains a more popular prediction.
For Pochita Ikue Otani (the voice of Chopper from Once-Piece as well as Pokemon's Pikachu) is by far the most popular prediction.
This is only to be expected as Otani specializes in cute sidekick voices. Some other fans would prefer a deeper voice for Pochita, but no better alternatives have come up at this time.
For Makima, Yoko Hikasa (Emi Yusa from The Devil Is a Part-Timer) is often predicted as a great candidate, while Reddit users have also expressed hopes that Miyuki Sawashiro (Kyoko Honda from Fruits Basket) might take the role.
Others yet, would prefer someone like Saori Hayami (Ruby from Ruby: Ice Queendom) for the role.
For Power, one of the most important Devil characters aside from Denji, Sumire Uesaka (also Nagatoro from the infamous Don't Toy With Me Miss Nagatoro) is a popular candidate due to the aforementioned tweet.
Other fans, however, would love to see someone like Aoi Yuuki (Diane from The Seven Deadly Sins) voice Power.
Takahiro Sakurai, one of the most popular and beloved voice actors, (also the voice of Giyu from Demon Slayer) is most fan's best bet for the voice of Aki Hayakawa.

Kana Hanazawa (Mitsuri Kanjori from Demon Slayer) has been predicted as the voice of Himeno, another fan-favorite character and a member of Makima's forces.
For Kobeni, Yumi Uchiyama (the voice of Rudeus Greyrat from Mushoku Tensei) is a solid fan prediction. Others would like Hana Kanazawa (Tuturu from Steins;Gate) or even Aoi Koga (Kaguya from Kaguya-sama: Love Is War).
Finally, for Hirokazu, Yoshimasa Hosoya (Attack on Titan's Reiner Braun) is what the tweet predicted.
Will any of these predictions come true? It's a bit early to tell as fans love to speculate and come up with fan casts for beloved adaptations, though there might be solid predictions in the mix.
