Hideo Kojima has revealed another one of the Death Stranding voice actors, and it is another very familiar face. Hochu Otsuka has joined the Japanese cast for the game. Kojima made a post revealing the addition on Twitter, with him, Otsuka, and Kenjiro “Sam Bridges” Tsuda posing in a picture. Kojima did not reveal who Otsuka will be playing, but did note in a later tweet that it would not be Mads Mikkelsen’s character.

Kojima later posted a picture of himself with Tsuda and Akihiko Ishizumi. As a reminder, Ishizumi is the Japanese voice actor for Guillermo del Toro’s character in Death Stranding.
