posted on by Karen Ressler
FUNimation Entertainment announced the English dub cast for its Broadcast Dub of Yona of the Dawn (Akatsuki no Yona) on Thursday. The cast, under ADR Director Colleen Clinkenbeard and assistant ADR Director Clifford Chapin, includes:
- Monica Rial as Yona
- Christopher R. Sabat as Hak
- Ian Sinclair as Gija
- Clifford Chapin as Yun
- Eric Vale as Sinha
- Micah Solusod as Su-Won
Alyssa Galindo is serving as ADR engineer, Maiko Hoshino is translating, and Monica Rial is writing the script.
The English dub will premiere on Tuesday, March 17 at 11:00 a.m. EST. The dub will begin with the second season, but Funimation is dubbing the first season as well and plans to release it later.
The series premiered in January, and both Crunchyroll and Funimation have been streaming the series with English subtitles as it airs. Funimation's stream is one week behind.
The company is launching Broadcast Dubs for Death Parade, Tokyo Ghoul √A, The Rolling Girls, World Break: Aria of Curse for a Holy Swordsman, Kamisama Kiss 2, Absolute Duo, Yuri Kuma Arashi, Yona of the Dawn, and Maria the Virgin Witch.
Funimation launched its first two Broadcast Dubs, Psycho-Pass 2 and Laughing Under the Clouds, in November after premiering both shows with subtitles in October. The company plans to produce a final English dub after the Broadcast Dub and before the home video release of each show.
