miHoYo has finally revealed Max Mittelman and Takanori Nishikawa as the voices behind Arataki Itto for the English and Japanese versions of Genshin Impact.

Max Mittelman, over the span of his career, has worked in many notable games and anime series. Some of the more popular ones that he was a part of include Bungo Stray Dogs, Seven Deadly Sins, One Punch Man, and Person 5 The Animation.

Perhaps his most notable role is that of Saitama in One Punch Man, and Riyuuji in the Persona 5 anime.

On the other hand, Takanori Nishikawa, also known as T.M.Revolution, is primarily known for being a musician, singer, songwriter, actor, and producer. Though he is known for voicing a few anime characters, those roles aren’t as notorious as some of the ones that other Genshin Impact Japanese VAs have voiced.

Nishikawa has previously voiced Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny, Project B: Kodou Ambitious, and Sengoku Basara: Judge End. However, T.M.Revolution has been a part of many anime OSTs, and his singer persona has created songs for Bleach, Soul Eater, Rurouni Kenshin, and Relife.

It will be quite interesting to see the kind of personality these two voice actors give Itto when he finally arrives in Genshin Impact.
