Health issues were raised, after the game Gundam: UC Engage also replaced Yao with Judau
Kodoani.com – Official X account of the series One Piece announced on Saturday that the next episode of the TV anime, episode #1,121, will air this Sunday. In this episode, Wataru Takagi will replace Kazuki Yao as the voice actor for the character Jango due to Yao's poor health condition.
Kazuki Yao not only voices Jango but is also the voice of other famous characters such as Franky and Bon Clay in One Piece. However, the announcement on the X account does not specify whether Yao will continue to voice Franky in subsequent appearances, but only confirms that Takagi will take on the role of Jango in this episode.
Wataru Takagi is not a strange face to One Piece fans. He voiced Jango in the movie One Piece: Django's Dance Carnival and also took on other roles in the series such as Bellamy and Vander Decken IX. Fans can rest assured with this change as Takagi brings a familiar integrated style.
