Blue Exorcist,' where he portrayed a fiery and passionate protagonist, his role in 'Angels of Death' showcases a more subdued and psychologically intense character, highlighting his versatility as a voice actor. An interesting detail about his casting in 'Angels of Death' is that unlike many of his previous heroic roles, Daniel Dickens is an antagonist, which gave Okamoto a unique opportunity to explore a darker side in his performance.
Takahiro Sakurai
Daniel "Danny" Dickens
Takahiro Sakurai lent his voice to the character Daniel in the TV anime "Angels of Death." His performance was widely praised for bringing depth and a brooding intensity to the role, which stood out amidst the show's dark and psychological themes. What made Sakurai's portrayal unique was his ability to convey subtle emotional nuances, adding layers of complexity to Daniel's enigmatic personality. A lesser-known fact is that during recording, Sakurai insisted on understanding the character's backstory fully, even though it wasn't explicitly detailed in the script, which helped him deliver a more authentic and compelling performance.
Hochu Otsuka
Abraham Gray
Hochu Otsuka lent his voice to the character of Daniel Dickens in the TV adaptation of 'Angels of Death.' His performance was widely praised for its depth and intensity, bringing a complex layer to the enigmatic character that resonated well with fans of the original game and anime. What made Otsuka's portrayal unique was his ability to balance the darker aspects of his character with subtle nuances of vulnerability, adding emotional depth seldom explored in similar roles.

Mariya Ise
Catherine "Cathy" Ward
Fans of Mariya Ise will appreciate her role in the TV series 'Angels of Death' for the nuanced and emotionally charged performance she delivers as Rachel Gardner.

While Hitagi is characterized by her sharp intellect and somewhat sardonic demeanor, Rachel's role in 'Angels of Death' showcases a more vulnerable and psychologically driven character, allowing Mariya to explore a broader emotional range. An interesting detail about her casting is that Mariya Ise was chosen for Rachel partly because of her previous role as a strong female lead with a distinctive voice, which contributed to bringing Rachel's quiet yet intense personality to life, contrasting with her more outspoken roles.
