While
Detective Pikachu won't be releasing into theatres stateside for another five days, it has already released in Japan. Naturally, so that Japanese audiences can understand the film, the entire film has been translated and dubbed over by voice-actors.
While the voices are different, the film's story remains the same.
Detective Pikachu follows the titular Pokemon as he teams up with a human by the name of Tim Goodman in order to solve a mystery surrounding the latter's father and in turn save the
Pokemon world as we know it.
The full list of these voice-actors has now been revealed online (via
Crunchyroll). If you're familiar with anime, you may recognise some of the following names. This dub cast has enlisted voice-talent from the following popular anime series:
Kamen Rider,
Attack on Titan, and
