Cast Information
Lily Ki “Lilypichu” as Nico Wakatsuki: “I am so happy to be part of the Witch Watch cast! It’s such a cute, quirky little show and I hope everyone loves it.”
Stephen Fu as Morihito Otogi: “I’m really excited and honored to be joining the cast for some magical shenanigans on this fun show!”
Caleb Yen as Kanshi Kazamatsuri: “I’m kind of obsessed with magic stuff, so getting to be a part of the Witch Watch team is SO FREAKING FUN.”
Kevin K Gomez as Keigo Magami: “I’m very excited to be a part of this show! It’s very fun, the characters are great, and zany hijinks will definitely ensue. There’s a bit of myself in Keigo for sure, and it’s been very funny for me personally to see how I overlap with this headphone-wearing, snooty little film buff (I had just come from seeing a movie at an arthouse theater before auditioning for him). Can’t wait to watch this with you all and hope you watch these episodes as soon as they drop!”
Cristina Vee as Nemu Miyao: “As a self-proclaimed witch and avid cat lover, I’m so excited to join the cast of Witch Watch as Nemu! I’m very excited to see where this new journey goes!”
Kyle Hebert as Reiji Otogi: “I’ve always been happy to voice many anime dads through the years, but being an ogre is a first.”
