Dragon Ball Yamcha Japanese Voice Actor Steps Down

With the release of the new Dragon Ball Daima anime series approaching, Shueisha and Toei Animation announced that Tooru Furuya, the Japanese voice actor for Yamcha, will step down from his role.

While no reason was given for the change in voice actor for Yamcha in Dragon Ball Daima, it is likely linked to Tooru Furuya’s recent adultery, assault, and forced abortion scandal.

Dragon Ball Daima will begin airing in Japan on October 11, 2024, and it will be streaming on Crunchyroll.
