CATDOLL: "One Punch Man" announces production team and main character voice actors

The animation "One Punch Man" scheduled to be released in October 2015 has gradually revealed its true face, and recently announced the production team and the voice actors of the main characters. I wonder if the voices of these two male voice actors match your imagination of Saitama and Genos?

"One Punch Man" is a humorous fighting manga by Japanese web cartoonist ONE. The work was produced with a comic manuscript software ComicStudio PC and began serialization on ONE's personal website on July 3, 2009. Although the painting skills were rough, it became a hit on the Japanese Internet. Later, it was remade by professional cartoonist Murata Yusuke and serialized in Shueisha magazine. Relatively speaking, the remake has a more formal style. The animation version will be supervised by Shingo Natsume, the supervisor of Space Dandy, and the series composition will be Suzuki Tomohiro, who participated in the production of Saint Seiya. The character design is Kubota Osamu of "New World". Space Dandy and New World are both experimental animations. I wonder if this One Punch Man animation version will also have a subversive performance. The specific production of the animation is handled by Madhouse. At present, the voice actors of the two protagonists have been announced. Saitama, the hero of Wu Ke, will be voiced by Shin Furukawa, and Genos, the disciple of Saitama, will be voiced by Kaito Ishikawa.

【Story Introduction】

The protagonist Saitama decided to take up "fighting monsters in his spare time" as a hobby after he lost his job. In order to take this unique hobby seriously, he trained hard for three years. As a result, Saitama lost all his hair and turned into a superhero with no weaknesses. He can easily defeat monsters with just one punch. However, he became so powerful that he even saved several cities from disasters, but no one knew about it. He has been an unknown hero in a shabby town. At the suggestion of his apprentice Genos, Saitama decided to apply to join the Hero Association, hoping to gain more respect and recognition.
