They really got the perfect cast for the English voices, didn't they? I prefer pretty much all of them in English, with the exception of Xigbar and Xaldin, but only because their Japanese voices are just as good, they are on par with the English ones.
that's because at the time they were making it, Uchiyama Kouki was in his teen..........to see his late voice try to hear 385/2's Roxas and compare it to Infinite Stratos's Orimura Ichika. He voices both characters.
It's amazing how close the English voices are to the Japanese ones. I think the English Demyx sounds better. Hard to describe, but I just like it more.
Xigbar sounds so hilarious in english!!! I LOVE Roxas' english voice.There's no competition. I mean.I didn't even LIKE Jesse Mcartney until I figured out the cute Roxas voice I love is his!!!xD
Funny thing: Axel's English VA voices Kon from Bleach Saïx's English VA voices the narrator dude from Bleach. You know, the guy who recaps. I knew I knew his voice from somewhere!
No wonder. Once I heard the Japanese Saix, I knew I've heard it from somewhere before. Kirk Thorton took the role of Jin from Samurai Champloo while Ginpei Sato was also the voice actor for Jin.
I honestly prefer the Japanese for Axel and Luxord, not many others though. I just have a soft spot for Keiji Fujiwara and Jouji Nakata though. They voice some of my favorite characters (Leorio from HxH and Kirei from Fate respectively)
@Uruya6 Lol!! I never actually played KH2, but I know the main gist of the story line from reading up on it on Wiki and watching cutscenes. Only today have I ever really looked up Xaldin and Luxord's voices in English. I'm...hurt. Xaldin really doesn't sound as gruff as I figured he should and Luxord doesn't sound English as a lot of people make him out to be (but his actor WAS born in England!). Because I love KH so much, I'll get over this, but it was pretty surprising.
It's probably not the same person, but Roxas' Japanese voice sounds a lot like either Allen Walker of D. Gray-Man or Captain Hitsugaya of BLEACH. And yes, I know those two characters are voiced by different people.
You need to make one with hayner in it =3 he's voiced by the same guy that voices Shikamaru XD "What a drag" after about two years of playing the game over and over again, I finally noticed that comparason.
It doesn't matter who some of the Organization are, I love them all! well except Vexen and Larxene. But Saix is one of my favorites! I mean look at how he does the hair flippy thing on 4:50
@Arisedearest Explanation: During the battle of 1000 Heartless the Nobodies were able to easily overpower the Heartless, so the fact that they are much more intelligent and are just as powerful than Heartless and Nobodies are able to think for themselves and attack with definite planning (as opposed to the Heartless, which are mindless and function on pure animal instinct) only heightens the threat that they pose.
wow, some of the english voices are pretty accurate. xigbar, saïx, demyx, sora, and roxas. :D [p.s: i prefer luxord's and xaldin's english voices over the japanese]
lol. Both of Axel's voice actors are the same ones Squeenix used for Reno. Demyx's japanese voice actor is also Zack's japanese voice actor. And there was one other voice actor used in an anime. >.>
i dont know why but to me Axel's english voice seems like it changes a lot, sound um i guess smooth when he is serious to, but in fight mode he sounds almost like Reno is voiced, maybe its just me (heck his voice sounds different in 3ds, deeper i would say)
Demyx is Hikaru, Riku is Tamaki(Wich, by the way, hurts my brain), how many more KH characters have japanese voice actors that also have a voice in Ouran?
dang. i love xigbars english voice~!! and i like saix's japanese voice a lot better! i like both of axels voices~. id have to say the same thing about demyx too~! luxord? english. heck yeah! ?? i thought roxas' japanese voice actor was koki uchiyama?
@Roflcopter324 Feh, to me neither voice sounds better. I never heard his voice before, so I was expecting something deeper and less raspy, to say the least.
I like Xigbar in English than in Japanese. Yeah, did anyone know that Xigbar in Japanese is also played the same seiyu (Japanese voice actor) that plays Jiraiya?
I love how Roxas sounds more like a kid in the Japanese version, but I have no real preference for any of the voices in KH (maybe the way some of the lines are delivered, "Feeling a little, re-gret?" ew, DX) But I love both the Japanese and English versions of all the voices, ^^
Damn, when I think of Roxas' japanese voice, I think of Naruto Uzumaki in both english and Japanese. (Especially Naruto's Japanese voice.) Jesse definently won on that one. Axel, like I said as well as everyone else, sounds much more unique and fitting in English than in Japanese. The blonde with the beard is roughly equal in japanese and english voices.The surfer dude had a funny voice, but his character personally was better in japanese.
I like how they took extra time to re-animate their mouth movements in English. I hate bad lip syncing!
They really got the perfect cast for the English voices, didn't they? I prefer pretty much all of them in English, with the exception of Xigbar and Xaldin, but only because their Japanese voices are just as good, they are on par with the English ones.
I love Axel's voice in both Japanese and English. x3
that's because at the time they were making it, Uchiyama Kouki was in his teen..........to see his late voice try to hear 385/2's Roxas and compare it to Infinite Stratos's Orimura Ichika. He voices both characters.
axels english "got it memorized' sounded awesomer lol i like how he says it
I agree with you on Roxas's voice.
Saix: *hair flip*
Fangirls: *super high pitched squee that blows out the windows*
You should've put some clips of Luxord in Port Royal as well.
It's amazing how close the English voices are to the Japanese ones.
I think the English Demyx sounds better. Hard to describe, but I just like it more.
Xigbar sounds so hilarious in english!!!
I LOVE Roxas' english voice.There's no competition. I mean.I didn't even LIKE Jesse Mcartney until I figured out the cute Roxas voice I love is his!!!xD
I was verry suprised when Saix do that in the game.
3:59
Oh gosh... I've never heard Demyx-kun's voice before, but now i see,,, HOW FRIGGIN' CUTE IT IS!!! AAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!
In fact, that's because he played Jin that he was chosen. Gimpei Sato also voiced Jin in Samurai Champloo.
SONOFABETAWOLF!
Saix puppy's english voice made me eargasm XD
Saix, Demyx, and Axel *drools* music to my ears in both languages!
What does it accomplish to do Axel twice?
I like how Kirk got Saix's voice because he and Saix's Japanese seiuu both did Jin from Samurai Champloo.
Funny thing: Axel's English VA voices Kon from Bleach
Saïx's English VA voices the narrator dude from Bleach. You know, the guy who recaps. I knew I knew his voice from somewhere!
No wonder. Once I heard the Japanese Saix, I knew I've heard it from somewhere before.
Kirk Thorton took the role of Jin from Samurai Champloo while Ginpei Sato was also the voice actor for Jin.
Found some anime roles:
Xemnas (JP)= Cell (Dragonball), Narrator (Hayate no Gotoku), Matsudaira (Gintama)
Xigbar (JP)= Jiraya (Naruto)
Xaldin (EN)= Jade Curtiss (Tales of The Abyss), Hajime Saito (Rurouni Kenshin), Don Patch (Bobobo)
Axel (EN)= Raiden (Metal Gear Solid 2), Kon (Bleach)
Axel (JP)= Hattori Zenzou (Gintama), Takeshi (sola)
Demyx (JP)= Lavi (D.Gray Man), Okita Sougo (Gintama)
Luxord (JP)= Giroro (Sgt. Frog/Keroro Gunsou), Van Grants (Tales of The Abyss), Chuuma-sensei (Sket Dance)
Thanks for watching them :D
I honestly prefer the Japanese for Axel and Luxord, not many others though. I just have a soft spot for Keiji Fujiwara and Jouji Nakata though. They voice some of my favorite characters (Leorio from HxH and Kirei from Fate respectively)
OMG Saïx's japanese voice is just as AMAZING as the english!! And I loved Roxas japanese voice!
Both Saix and Jin from Samurai Champloo have the same VA combo
both languages for each one are awesimo except for Demyx, his Japanese one makes me either scared or want to burst out laughing
In the english version, Saix is Jin from Samurai Shamploo.
@Uruya6 Lol!! I never actually played KH2, but I know the main gist of the story line from reading up on it on Wiki and watching cutscenes.

Demys's japanese voice is the one that does Hikaru Hiitachin in Ouran Host Club!!!
lol at Saix's little Hair flip xD
@musicx09 D: Not the only one entirely. I love it too. I have to admit he has a weird accent though. I never really noticed it before. o_o;;
They really did a good job. The voices sound really similar in english and japanese!! square-enix ftw!!
@Yamimoriness Roxas voice actor is Jessie Mcartney.
Oh my, you missed quite a striking line my Demyx. The "Silence Traitor" line is very... leomg in Japanese. xD
You need to make one with hayner in it =3 he's voiced by the same guy that voices Shikamaru XD
"What a drag" after about two years of playing the game over and over again, I finally noticed that comparason.
Thornton nailed saix' voice!!
It doesn't matter who some of the Organization are, I love them all! well except Vexen and Larxene. But Saix is one of my favorites! I mean look at how he does the hair flippy thing on 4:50
Xemnas=Kurama/Nine tails
Xigbar=Private-penguins of madagascar
Vexen=Shino and Phantom(from MAR)
Leaxus=Thor
Saix=Don Patch, Shukakua/One Tails, Kisame, Mifune
Axel=Deidara, Silver the hedgehog, Reno(Final Fantasy)
also Demyx Japanese VA is Sho from the Persona series...
*****
Demyx: AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH~!
Now I can't unhear the puns and the laughs.
Also, you got it wrong, Deidara's voiced by Roger Craig Smith in English, not Quinton Flynn.
Abigdummy4life Quinton voiced Deidara for naruto episode 135 and to me Axel and Deidara sound alike even though the voice actors are different
Manji645
OH. Nevermind. I see now. Sorry about that.
@Arisedearest Explanation: During the battle of 1000 Heartless the Nobodies were able to easily overpower the Heartless, so the fact that they are much more intelligent and are just as powerful than Heartless and Nobodies are able to think for themselves and attack with definite planning (as opposed to the Heartless, which are mindless and function on pure animal instinct) only heightens the threat that they pose.
Love for Robin hes unreal he has a mastery of dialects hes actually british aswell
Jesse McCartney!?
wow, some of the english voices are pretty accurate. xigbar, saïx, demyx, sora, and roxas. :D [p.s: i prefer luxord's and xaldin's english voices over the japanese]
Luxord: English. Ya gotta love his British accent!
I have that exact same problem with Zexion. my apologies to Akira Ishida but I keep hearing Gaara in there.
I just realized that Axel's english voice actor is also Raiden's voice actor! Now, I realize the similarity!
If you mean Larxene she doesn't have english voice actor. Nor does Vexen, Lexaeus, Zexion and Marluxia.
lol.
Both of Axel's voice actors are the same ones Squeenix used for Reno.
Demyx's japanese voice actor is also Zack's japanese voice actor.
And there was one other voice actor used in an anime. >.>
Yes. He also does Iruka sensei in the english dub of Naruto. :3
Ginpei Sato wtf !! he's voice is LOVE
@ulquiXgrimm He's zack's voice actor, that's why
i dont know why but to me Axel's english voice seems like it changes a lot, sound um i guess smooth when he is serious to, but in fight mode he sounds almost like Reno is voiced, maybe its just me (heck his voice sounds different in 3ds, deeper i would say)
xigbar's japanese voice is the same as deneb/jiriya and many other great charecters
and for demyx, his voice is ryutaros, which is the only one i know
Oh, and Roxas?
Demyx is Hikaru, Riku is Tamaki(Wich, by the way, hurts my brain), how many more KH characters have japanese voice actors that also have a voice in Ouran?
oooh. did not kno that. well, i'm a relatively new kingdom hearts obsesser. believe it or not
I don't remember Xaldin sounding so awesome o_O
I love luxords accent and axel and demyx..... I was so sad when i saw axel and demyx die
Agreed with everything you just said.
Because he doesn't have english voice actor. I can't do any comparisons if I don't have anything to compare.
I Think Both Voice Actor's English And Japanese' Are Both Very Fitting' They' Both Sound Good No Matter What Language'
man i cant wait for number 3!!!!1111!!!11!
Koki Uchiyama's voice as a kid was soo cute ;_;
Lol.
It's just so funny the way Axel says,
"Nah ... I can hadle these punks."
*Glomps him radomly*
Ah Randomocity...
:D
dang. i love xigbars english voice~!!
and i like saix's japanese voice a lot better!
i like both of axels voices~.
id have to say the same thing about demyx too~!
luxord? english. heck yeah!
?? i thought roxas' japanese voice actor was koki uchiyama?
isn´t the japanes one the same as jiraiya ?:O
japanese...english is awesome too but i will always love the japanese voices ^^
Because they don't have English voice actors! At least not yet. Re:CoM is coming in English so we get to hear their English voices soon.
@Roflcopter324 Feh, to me neither voice sounds better. I never heard his voice before, so I was expecting something deeper and less raspy, to say the least.
@Arisedearest IKR!?!?! that is so depressing!
@Yamimoriness He used to be a pretty big popstar. Remember "Beautiful Soul?"
Not that I liked him much.
I like Xigbar in English than in Japanese. Yeah, did anyone know that Xigbar in Japanese is also played the same seiyu (Japanese voice actor) that plays Jiraiya?
LOLOLOLOL Saix Hair-Flip.
Much like how 'Kisama' doesn't mean 'Bastard' or anything. It just means 'You' It depends on how you use it.
I LOVE THEM ALL.!!
I fricken love that deep xemmy voice....*melts* the english one i like more...idky....hmmmm
I love how Roxas sounds more like a kid in the Japanese version, but I have no real preference for any of the voices in KH (maybe the way some of the lines are delivered, "Feeling a little, re-gret?" ew, DX) But I love both the Japanese and English versions of all the voices, ^^
Saïx' japanese voice is just...OMG *-*
Demyx's Japanese voice cracks me up. xD
*nosebleeds from hotness overload*
@Arisedearest Apparently Nobodies > Heartless. Maybe he was too freaked out by the Dusks' freaky movements.
You know, I always wondered why Xigbar sounded like a surfer...And I still don't know...
His Japanese voice sounds like Hatori Hanso from Kill Bill...
Wow, Demyx and Xaldin english voice actors sound almost exactly like their japanese ones.
Aww, Roxas' Japanese voice is cute!
The japanese voice of Roxas minds me of Naruto while the japanese voice of xigbar kind of reminds me of pervy sage aka jiraya
u missed marluxia, larxene, zexion,vexen,and larseus
lol at demyx
"UAAGH! NOOO WAAYYY UGHH!!!!
@musicx09 I love his english voice :cccc
Demyx in Japanese kinda sounds like Lavi from D.Gray-Man o.O
and Saix sounds HAWT in Japanese, too
DEMYX IS SOO ADORABLE!!!!
Thank you! :)
Oh, and Roxas's english voice actor is Jesse McCartney! xD
woo... Xigbars English Voice... an Xaldins accent *.* in the English Vesion... and Saix...
and to Axel... his best voice is the german...
Don't forget he voices Reno too. XD
I know... It somehow makes sense and fits... O_O
roxas is voice at 01:21-01:24 cuteeee
Japanese Riku also voiced-... I can't remember his name. The blonde guy. Ugh mindblock right now.
And Light from Death Note.
Kenichi Suzumura :) I'm sorry Demyx, but whenever I hear your Japanese voice, all I see is Zack Fair.
wtf is that Jaraiya???
LOL so THATS how Xiggy got his eyepatch, Larxene caught him outside the bathhouse XD
R.I.P. headphone users at 0:52 "KEYBREDO!!!"
Xaldin Did nobody even LOOK at him when picking out his voice actor?! In EITHER language?!
Damn, when I think of Roxas' japanese voice, I think of Naruto Uzumaki in both english and Japanese. (Especially Naruto's Japanese voice.)
Jesse definently won on that one. Axel, like I said as well as everyone else, sounds much more unique and fitting in English than in Japanese. The blonde with the beard is roughly equal in japanese and english voices.The surfer dude had a funny voice, but his character personally was better in japanese.
