Meet Ninja Gaiden 4 Voice Cast: The Stars Powering Team Ninja’s Big Return

So, Ninja Gaiden 4 is either already in your console or arriving in 2025, depending on which line of promo copy you read. Either way, early chatter is glowing: big thumbs up for the combat, slick visuals, and overall feel. The surprise standout? The voice cast. It is stacked with some fresh faces and a few vets, and the performances are getting a lot of love.

Quick context

Ryu Hayabusa is back, Ayane is back, and there is a new lead named Yakumo. The plot threads in familiar series mythos (Dark Dragon, shrines, terrifying commanders) with a new crew around the Raven Clan. If you are hearing more about the acting than usual for this series, that tracks — the VO is doing a lot of heavy lifting on the immersion front.

Who is voicing who

• Steven Pringle — Yakumo: The new protagonist. Not a longtime game lead — his background is animated shows, commercials, and web series — but he is front and center here and it is his first time carrying a game.
• Mike Stoudt — Ryu Hayabusa: The franchise icon returns with Stoudt behind the mic. You might know him from TV projects like Say What, Bigger, and The Game.
• Ava Maria Safai — Seori: The princess who sealed the Dark Dragon. Also a singer-songwriter; past credits include ZIP, Foreigner, and Inhuman/e.
• Billy Reid — Misaki/Achilles: The main antagonist. Reid has mostly worked behind the scenes (he executive produced the animated series Pancake Manor), and this is his first time stepping into the spotlight as the face of a game.
• Elizabeth Tsong — Umi: The Raven Clan comms specialist. Best known for Tuttle Twins, and this marks her first major role.
• Alma Sarai — Ayane: A fan favorite returning from earlier entries. Off-mic, she is an arts advocate focused on arts education for young people.
• Sean Hogan — Kagachi: Supreme Commander of the Divine Dragon Order. On the battlefield, he is a nightmare; Hogan brings the intimidation.
• Bradley Duffy — Tyran: The Raven Clan combat master who trains you up and helps unlock the skill system. Duffy has popped up as Ian Tyler in Another Code: Recollection and in Marvel Super Hero Adventures, Family Law, and Lego Jurassic Park: The Unofficial Retelling.
• Ami Mataushima — Kitsune Courtesan (Japanese voice): A daemon bound by Seori to guard a Dark Dragon Shrine. Within her domain she can shred you with brutal material illusions. A newcomer with a few TV series roles, and clearly one to watch.
• Go Fuji — Kurobo (Japanese voice): Another boss who will erase you, especially on Master Ninja difficulty. Fuji is known for Kamen Rider Yuki and Mirror Monsters.
• Bradley Duffy — Muramasa: Yes, Duffy again. The legendary weaponsmith and merchant who helps Yakumo and Ryu with gear and guidance. Nice bit of range, playing both your trainer and your shop legend.
• Chris M. Ward — D.D.O. Officers: The recurring enemies you will chew through on missions. Ward previously voiced Forehand in Crime Boss: Rockay City and Mammott in My Singing Monsters: Fandemonium.
• Trevor McCarley — D.D.O. Commanders / D.D.O. Soldiers: The standard troops and their beefier bosses. McCarley works at PlatinumGames.

Developers and release timing

The materials credit PlatinumGames & Team Ninja — not a combo you see every day, and an intriguing one for a series built on precision action. One note: the messaging is a bit messy. Some blurbs say it is on shelves now; the info block pegs the release year as 2025. Whichever it is, the cast list is out there, and the early word on the performances is strong.

Playing it yet (or counting the days)? Either way, this lineup makes the cutscenes worth not skipping.
