Inazuma is embroiled in a lockdown under Baal, who is widely revered as the Raiden Shogun. She is voiced by the famous Japanese voice actor, Miyuki Sawashiro.

Miyuki Sawashiro is the Japanese VA of Baal in Genshin Impact

Moments before the start of the live stream event on June 9th, the official Japanese Twitter handle of Genshin Impact posted about the voice actor for Baal. The famous Japanese voice actress and narrator, Miyuki Sawashiro, will lend her voice to Baal.

The famous VA started her career in 1999 from the anime "Di Gi Charat." She won the Special Jury Prize in her debut itself and since then, she has been the Japanese voice of many characters in a plethora of popular video games such as:

In The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt as Ciri
In Bioshock Infinite as Elizabeth
In Soulcalibur as Ivy Valentine
In Honkai Impact 3rd as Mei Raiden
In Counter-Strike Online 2 as Choi Ji Yoon and Mila
In Final Fantasy XV as Aranea Highwind
In Sakura Wars as Hakushu Murasame
In Jump Force as Kurapika
In Sword Art Online as Sinon
In Fire Emblem Heroes as Camila, Emblem, and Morgan

Miyuki's voice as Mei Raiden in Honkai Impact 3rd raises some important questions regarding parallelism with Genshin Impact.

Both the characters, Raiden Shogun and Mei Raiden, share similar resemblances in the miHoYo universe. All of this will be uncovered in the upcoming Inazuma update in Genshin Impact.
