Genshin Impact: Akira Ishida will voice Ayato

In the Genshin Impact community, rumors about Kamisato Ayato, one of the most anticipated characters, have been circulating for quite some time. In fact, there have been leaks about the voice performers for Ayato recently as well. This time, however, it appears that Genshin Impact is announcing the voice actor for Ayato in the official trailer for Arataki Itto, rather than leaks. The voice actors for Itto and Gorou, as well as Ayato, were shown in the Japanese trailer for the latter.

The reason for this is unknown, but it isn't the first time that the Japanese Genshin Impact channel has released anything ahead of the English or Chinese channels.

Akira Ishida will voice Ayato in Genshin Impact

On December 8, the Japanese trailer for Arataki Itto was released. The voice performers for Itto and Gorou were listed in the trailer's description. Akira Ishida, the voice actor for Ayato, is also noted in the description.

This announcement not only validates a leak that surfaced around the same time, but also confirms Ayato's inclusion as a playable character. While the release of Ayato is still a long way off, fans have finally received formal confirmation.

In reality, the revelation of Akira Ishida is a significant piece of information. Ayato's voice actor is perhaps one of the most well-known figures in the industry, having worked in both anime and voice acting since the 1990s.

Inu Yasha, Pokemon, Psycho-Pass, Fate Zero, Fairy Tail, and Blood+ have all featured him as a voice actor. In Naruto and Naruto Shippuden, Ishida was the voice of Gaara. As a result, he has a stellar reputation.

As a result, fans should be ecstatic to learn that he will play Ayato in Genshin Impact. Because Ayato's popularity has surpassed that of Zhongli and Itto, the announcement of his Japanese voice actor is the icing on the cake.

There hasn't been any official information on Ayato so far. He is only referenced in the game as Kamisato Ayaka's brother and a prominent member of the Kamisato family. Apart from that, all else has been gossiping around the neighborhood.

In Genshin Impact, he's intended to be a claymore wielder with hydro vision. Ayato's precise abilities and capabilities are unclear, though there are a few tales floating around.
