Black Clover was featured on the cover of Weekly Shonen Jump Issue 15, and My Hero Academia is confirmed to dominate the cover of the upcoming Issue 16. Both series are extremely beloved by manga and anime fans alike, in no small part thanks to the voice acting. While Black Clover fans do have strong opinions on Asta screaming nearly every line in the anime, the voice acting in the series has been praised by many.

On the other hand, the voice actors' roles in My Hero Academia are often their most famous, sometimes becoming their signature performances. With the Black Clover movie all set to be released in 2023, and My Hero Academia Season 6 on the horizon, it is a good time to see how many characters from the two franchises have the same voices.


Aizawa and Yami, and 9 such pairs of My Hero Academia and Black Clover characters who share voice actors

For this article, we took into consideration the significance and screentime of the characters from both series, and placed them alongside the other works of the actors. The list is not ranked in order of popularity or importance.


10) KENN

Leopold Vermillion is the youngest of the Vermillion siblings, but no less popular. He is voiced by KENN, who also voices pro-hero Native from My Hero Academia. Readers might remember Native as the pro-hero who Tenya Iida saves from Stain.

KENN has also voiced Toya Setsuno in My Hero Academia Season 4, alongside other characters such as Phinks in Hunter X Hunter (2011), Penema in Platinum End, and Masahiro Saki in Ahiru no Sora.


9) Kiyono Yasuno

Charmy Pappitson is one of the most beloved characters in Black Clover, and one of the most powerful women in the series as well. She is voiced by Kiyono Yasuno, who voices the equally popular Nejire Hado in My Hero Academia, who has become more important in recent manga chapters.

Yasuno is also known for her portrayals of Safu in No. 6, Kaname Buccaneer in Macross Delta, and Princess Renner in Overlord II.


8) Tomokazu Sugita

Tomokazu Sugita is one of the veteran names in the industry. He voices Gueldre Poizot in Black Clover, the former captain of the Purple Orca squad, as well as Skeptic, the villain who worked as the right-hand man to Re-Destro in My Hero Academia.

Sugita is well known for voicing Gintoki Sakata from Gintama, Joseph Joestar from JoJo’s Bizarre Adventures, Kyon from The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, and Gyomei Himejima from Demon Slayer.


7) Yoshimasa Hosoya

Yoshimasa Hosoya is popular across the otaku community for primarily voicing important character roles, such as Tokoyami Fumikage. Hosoya also voices Kiato from Black Clover, Kahono’s brother and Asta’s opponent in the Underwater Temple.

Hosoya’s most notable characters include Reiner Braun from Attack on Titan, Asahi Azumane from Haikyuu!!, Sousuke Yamazaki from Free!, Joe from Megalobox and its sequel Nomad, Kunikida Doppo from Bungou Stray Dogs, and Katsuya Honda from Fruits Basket.


6) Hikaru Midorikawa

Another veteran name on this list, Hikaru Midorikawa is well known for portraying characters such as Kaede Rukawa in Slam Dunk, Heero Yuy in Mobile Suit Gundam Wing, Cherry Blossom from SK8 the Infinity, and Garou from One Punch Man.

Midorikawa is also the voice of Zora Ideale, the eccentric member of the Black Bulls, as well as pro-hero Best Jeanist, current number three on the Hero Billboard Charts and mentor to Katsuki Bakugo.


5) Nobuhiko Okamoto

Speaking of Bakugo, he is voiced by one of the most popular voice actors in the current demographic, Nobuhiko Okamoto. Bakugo is one of Okamoto’s signature roles, and his portrayal of Liebe in Black Clover looks equally promising, considering the part the devil plays in the recent manga arcs.

Okamoto’s other prominent roles include Takumi Usui from Maid Sama, Yuu Nishinoya from Haikyuu!!, Rin Okumura in Blue Exorcist, and Genya Shinazugawa in Demon Slayer, amongst others.


4) Ayane Sakura

Ayane Sakura voices Secre Swallowtail in Black Clover, but one of her best-known roles is that of Ochako Uraraka in My Hero Academia. Both Secre and Ochako have become very important in the recent arcs of their respective manga.

Sakura is also known for voicing Gabi in Attack on Titan, Nao Tomori in Charlotte, Mika Shimotsuki in Psycho-Pass 3, and Cybelle in Carol and Tuesday.


3) Kaito Ishikawa

While Tenya Iida is not Kaito Ishikawa’s most popular role, it is certainly one of his better-known ones. He is equally dear to the Black Clover fandom for portraying the condescending and ill-mannered Langris Vaude, a character drastically different from Iida.

Ishikawa’s more popular endeavors include Tobio Kageyama from Haikyuu!!, Genos from One-Punch Man, Naofumi Iwatani from The Rising of the Shield Hero, and Nine from Terror in Resonance, and more.


2) Hiro Shimono

Hiro Shimono is well-known in the industry for voicing a range of characters, including Dabi, the infamous member of the League of Villains. He is also the voice of Nacht Faust, the elusive vice-captain of the Black Bulls.. Both of these characters have become incredibly crucial in the recent arcs of their respective manga.

Shimono’s most popular roles include Zenitsu Agatsuma in Demon Slayer, Connie Springer in Attack on Titan, Hanzō Urushihara in The Devil Is a Part-Timer!, and of late, Rindo Haitani in Tokyo Revengers.


1) Junichi Suwabe

Junichi Suwabe is one of the most popular names on the list, also well known for voicing a wide range of characters. However, he plays the mentor role in both My Hero Academia and Black Clover, as Shota Aizawa and Yami Sukehiro, respectively.

Suwabe’s other notable works include Keigo Atobe in The Prince of Tennis, Victor Nikiforov in Yuri!!! on ICE, Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez in Bleach, Leone Abbacchio in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Golden Wind, and Ryomen Sukuna in Jujutsu Kaisen.
