“Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba” is back with season four, and it’s already making a big impact. Even though only two episodes have been released, fans are excited for what’s to come.
However, there’s some surprising news: Kenichi Suzumura, one of the main voice actors, is taking a break to focus on his health.
Suzumura’s talent agency, Intention, announced that he is taking a break effective immediately due to health concerns. After consulting with a doctor, it was advised that Suzumura step back from his work commitments, so his agency has arranged for the hiatus. As of now, there’s no information on when he will return.
This news has fans wondering about the impact on Demon Slayer season four. Suzumura voices Obanai Iguro, the Snake Hashira, who has a significant role this season.
The current storyline focuses on the Hashira Training arc, where all the Demon Slayer pillars are preparing for a major confrontation with Muzan. Obanai, though usually reserved, is crucial to this arc and will continue to be important as the series progresses.
Aside from his role in Demon Slayer, Suzumura is known for voicing characters like Bravern in Brave Bang Bavern and has a rich history in anime, including roles in Gintama, Mobile Suit Gundam Seed, and Uta no Prince-sama. Fans are hopeful for his swift recovery and eventual return to voice acting.
