#Yoko Soumi Reprises Her Role as Lyserg Diethel in Shaman King Reboot TV Anime

 

 

The official website for the upcoming reboot TV anime based on Hiroyuki Takei’s Shaman King manga announced today that Yoko Soumi (Olivier Mira Armstrong in Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood) is cast as Lyserg Diethel, a young shaman from London, England, who hunts down his enemies with accurate and unmatched attacks by using his dowsing ability that was inherited from his father.

 

As with many other main voice cast members, she reprises her role in the first TV anime in 2001-2002. She is now 58.

 

 

Comments from Yoko Soumi:

 

[Charm of the Shaman King series]

 

“I think it’s Yoh-kun’s ‘Let’s go slow’ spirit, after all. If we could, we’d like to go slow, too! I wonder if we have that kind of longing in us? And not only is he loose, he’s strong! …It’s too unfair! (laugh).”

 

 

[Enthusiasm for playing the role of Lyserg]

 

“Lyserg was a role I received 20 years ago, when I had not played many boy roles. And it was a regular cast… The thrill of that time is coming back to me now! I’ll do my best, remembering the spirit that I started with. I would appreciate your support!”
