It's a unanimously common experience for any anime fan out there (sub or dub) to hear a familiar voice when watching a new series that leads to an impromptu Google search mid-episode. When it comes to dubbing anime, there's often a pool of actors that are the popular pick to cast when choosing the voices for a show's main crew or gang of villains.
When it comes to Jujutsu Kaisen' s beloved Gojo Satoru, fans may feel like his voice has made frequent appearances in other shows, both new and old; and they wouldn't be wrong. For any Jujutsu Kaisen fans of either the Japanese or English dub, that are wondering about the true lengths of Gojo's reach, here are some popular animes where Japanese voice actor Yuichi Nakamura and English voice actor Kaiji Tang have made a sneaky appearance.
Updated on November 29, 2023, by Christine Mendoza: Jujutsu Kaisen fans are itching to learn everything there is to know about Gojo now more than ever. Where both the manga and the anime currently lie, the spotlight is on Gojo and his heavy role as the strongest sorcerer in the world. For any fans who are itching for more Gojo while the anime and manga are in between episodes/chapters, and wish for nothing more than to hear Gojo's soothing voice again, here are a few other animated series where both of Gojo's voice actors, Yuichi Nakamura and Kaiji Tang, can be heard flexing their impressive vocal range.
11 Koji Kashin (Japanese & English VA)
Boruto: Naruto Next Generations

As strange of a coincidence as it is, Gojo's English and Japanese voice actors both voiced the same character in the Boruto series as well. Nakamura and Tang both voice Koji Kashin, a clone of the fan-favorite Naruto character, Jiraiya. Created by Amado Sanzu, he was made for the sole purpose of killing a celestial being by the name of Isshiki Otsutsuki.
While Koji's voice (in both the Japanese and English versions) is much deeper than the voice Nakamura and Tang use when voicing Gojo, every so often, there is a moment in their dialogue where it becomes apparent that the white-haired sorcerer is behind the mysterious Koji Kashin as well.
10 Mumen Rider (Japanese VA)
One-Punch Man
One Punch Man
Display card tags widget Display card community and brand rating widget Display card main info widget Display card main info widget end Display card media widget start Display card media widget endMumen Rider is a C-Class professional hero from the very same Hero Association that One-Punch Man's protagonist, Saitama, is part of. While both Saitama and Mumen Rider are fellow members of the Hero Association together, the difference in their power and capability is clear, which is exactly why Mumen Rider is classified as a C-Class hero while Saitama is an A-Class hero.
Coincidentally, Mumen Rider shares his first name with Gojo, with Mumen's real name being Satoru as well. However, that's not all they have in common. While it's true that Mumen Rider's physical prowess is far from Gojo's incredible power, they both have an outstanding sense of justice and always stand to protect those who cannot protect themselves.
9 Dazai Osamu (English VA)

There have already been quite a few fans of Bungo Stray Dogs who have pointed out that JJK's Gojo has a lot in common with Dazai Osamu, so it's only fitting that they both share the same voice actor in the English dub. The two are both rather arrogant in their skill and field of expertise. Not only that, the two are also incredibly bratty, always rebelling against their authority figures one way or another.
The two are rather similar, but when it comes to Tang's interpretation of them, they still vary and show their differences through their speech. While still rather playful, Tang's Gojo is a bit deeper than the voice he uses when playing Dazai.
8 Bruno Bucciarati (Japanese VA)

Bruno Bucciarati is a bold and head-strong stand user in the Jojo's Bizarre Adventure universe. Although he can initially come off as overly stern and violent, he still has a very kind and considerate side to him as well. Even when pursuing his dreams and going down the path he commits to, he is willing to put his life on the line for the sake of his values or to protect those he cares about.
While JJBA's Bruno has the same kind of "tough but kind" duality Gojo has, Nakamura's rendition of Bruno is a touch more commanding and much deeper than the voice he uses for JJK's Gojo. However, some fans may still be able to hear a bit of the sorcerer coming through Bruno's dialogue.
7 Kinagase Tsumugu (English VA)
Kill La Kill

Kill la Kill's Tsumugu is cold and tough. A member of Nudist Beach who despises Life Fibers (including protagonist Ryuko's buddy, Senketsu), Tsumugu has made it his mission to rid the world of Life Fibres, believing them to be mere parasites that feed off their wearer, eventually killing them. However, his hard exterior finally is broken for a moment, after he realizes that Senketsu does not see Ryuko as a mere resource, but as a trusted friend.
Tsumugu's overall demeanor is vastly different from Gojo's carefree attitude, likely leaving JJK and Kill la Kill fans in disbelief that these two polar opposites share an English voice actor.

Just about every anime fan these days knows My Hero Academia as it's made a name for itself as one of the most popular shonen anime both in Japan and overseas. While Gojo's voice actor isn't part of Deku's main crew and isn't present in earlier MHA episodes, Nakamura finally makes an appearance as pro hero, Hawks.
Hawks, real name Keigo Takami, is ranked as the number two pro hero, following right behind his longtime idol, Endeavor. Hawks' demeanor is similar to Gojo's and can sound familiar to JJK fans every so often. Not unlike the quirky Gojo-sensei, Hawks also carries a big smile around others but is shrouded with a dark past and heavy burden that he must often hide from others. Hopefully, the two can find some time to grab a drink together.
5 Big G (Takeshi "Gian" Gouda) (English VA)
Doraemon
While Doraemon's tough guy Takeshi Gouda is often referred to as "Gian" in the original Japanese run of the animated series, he was given the endearing nickname "Big G" in the American dub where he was voiced by Tang. As Doraemon and his buddies are young children, Tang's voice is virtually unrecognizable as the same voice actor behind the cool JJK sorcerer Gojo Satoru.
Big G is a reckless, aggressive, and cocky character that also serves as the show's bully antagonist on occasion. While Big G has a tough side, his voice is shrill and croaky; completely different from Gojo's charmingly smooth voice.

Among the many volleyball teams that Haikyuu's protagonists Hinata and Kageyama meet is Nekoma High; and the captain of the Nekoma High's volleyball team is cool-cat Kuroo Tetsuro. Often referred to as less than favorable names by both teammates and opponents, Kuroo is a sly character who often provokes those around him in a calculated way.
If Kuro isn't being his up-to-no-good scheming self, then he's often scolded by his teammates for being too much of a goof in between games. Much like Gojo's duality with playfulness and provocation, Haikyuu's Kuroo Tetsuro's mischievous ways are often balanced out with his strange humor; keeping his character sharp, but still likable.
3 Guts (English VA)
Berserk (2016)

In the 2016 rendition of the cult classic Berserk, Tang took the spotlight and voiced the Black Swordsman himself, Guts. Guts is Berserk's protagonist (and hero?) And embodies perseverance and the uncanny ability to channel rage (and suffering) into unrelenting power.
Guts is a fan favorite among older generations of anime/manga fans and left Tang rather big shoes to fill. However, his rendition of the angsty (yet kind-hearted) swordsman was a perfect fit and channeled his badass attitude to a tee. Tang's Gojo voice is less gritty and more light-hearted, making it rather difficult for fans to recognize his voice when comparing his Berserk and JJK roles.
2 Greed (Japanese VA)

After the initial release of the first Fullmetal Alchemist animated series which ran from 2003 to 2004, it was revisited with the fan favorite, Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood series that ran from 2009 to 2010. While Japanese voice actor Junichi Suwabe voiced Greed in the original series, Nakamura took over the role for FMA: Brotherhood.
Greed is a homunculus and being the very embodiment of the sin of greed, acts exactly how one would expect him to. Nakamura's interpretation of Greed is deep and guttural, giving Greed a (fittingly) cold and menacing voice. Gojo has his moments of trying to intimidate his enemies but never in the evil way Greed does.
