ONE-PUNCH MAN is based on the bestselling manga series (the latest chapters serialized in Weekly Shonen Jump, and graphic novels published by VIZ Media; rated T' for Teens), created by writer ONE and artist Yusuke Murata.In the anime adaptation, Saitama only became a hero for fun, but after three years of special training, he finds that he can beat even the mightiest opponents with a single punch. Though he faces new enemies every day, it turns out being devastatingly powerful is actually kind of a bore. Can a hero be too strong? The series features a notable cast of English voice actors including Max Mittelman (as Saitama), Zach Aguilar (as Genos), Robbie Daymond (as Mumen Rider), Erik Scott Kimerer (as Speed-o'-Sound Sonic) and Chris Jai Alex (as Boros).
Voice actor Zach Aguilar won the Magi 2 Voice Acting Open Auditions at Anime Expo that were hosted by Bang Zoom! Entertainment and Aniplex in 2014. At 16 years old, he was one of the youngest people to ever win and was cast in Magi: The Kingdom of Magic. Zach also has played characters in series such as Aldnoah.Zero, Sword Art Online 2, The Seven Deadly Sins, and Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron Blooded Orphans. He can also be heard doing numerous commercials for Pandora internet radio!
Actor Erik Scott Kimerer has always heard voices in his head and decided to do the only sensible thing; let them out. He was born and raised in Seattle, where he was trained in the Japanese method of anime voice acting by a veteran seiyuu. After graduating in Theatre Arts he moved to L.A. to pursue his love of telling stories through video games, animation, and even in the wrestling ring. Recent anime works he has been featured in include Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans, Your Lie in April, Toradora Magi, Accel World, and Seven Deadly Sins. In the world of video games, Erik has lent his voice for characters in Tales of Xilia 2, Inazuma Eleven, Atelier Sophie, Heroes of Newerth, and Skullgirls.
Chris Jai Alex grew up in a creative house, born to a mother who was an aspiring pop star and a comic book store owner. Upon graduating, Chris moved to New York to pursue a music career where he would produce music for an up and coming indie label. Inspired by a film that reminded him of his childhood, he relocated to Los Angeles, CA to pursue entertainment on a large scale. To date he s worked in all aspects of the business with credits on camera from film and TV, including Turn, 6 Ways To Die opposite Tom Sizemore, and Vivica A. Fox, along with various video game and animation voice work including Steven Universe, The Boondocks and Killer Instinct. Chris has also worked in action and stunt roles in Batman Vs. Superman, Captain America Civil War, Grimm, and the main double in season one of Supergirl "J onn J onzz The Martian Manhunter."
