Shadow's Japanese voice actor in Sonic 3 has been unveiled – and he's a Keanu Reeves-style perfect fit for the black-and-red hedgehog.
As revealed on the Sonic movie franchise's official Japanese Twitter account, Toshiyuki Morikawa is providing the voice for Shadow's Japanese dub in Sonic 3, which is called Sonic x Shadow: TOKYO MISSION in the country.
You may not know his name, but you may know his dulcet tones – he's played everything from Sephiroth in Final Fantasy to Dante in Devil May Cry, as well as dozens more roles across games, anime, and movies. Curiously, he's also the official Japanese dub artist for Tom Cruise, among a handful of other A-list Hollywood stars.
Despite the stacked cast, that hasn't stopped people trying to guess which mystery characters from the Sonic universe will make their bow in the threequel, which hits cinemas on December 20. Early theory work includes the possibility of Metal Sonic filling in this suspicious empty space in a new Sonic 3 image and the chance of Amy Rose turning up in the post-credits – because of a clue hiding in a pink sweater, of all things.
