Jamil’s Voice Actor Futaba Kaname

Jamil Viper is voiced by Futaba Kaname, and is Futaba’s first and only voice-acting role.

Futaba is mostly active in musical theater, performing in the Prince of Tennis musical among many others, and is also one half of the musical duo TWiN PARADOX with his (older) twin brother Yuu. Both Futaba twins appeared in the Ouran Host Club musical (as the Hitachiin twins).

Their music is on YouTube, here.

On 2025 July 6 Jamil’s character song “Snake and Blink” was posted to Aniplex’s YouTube Channel. On June 22 Futaba participated in a livestream event that included an early preview of the song, saying:

“It was difficult. The low parts are so low and the high parts are so high. When I first received the music I thought, ‘This is going to be so hard!’ The differences in tone are so extreme. And it’s a ballad.

Every time I sing as Jamil it is emphasized to me how important the lyrics are, and ballads are even more so, and so I have to be even more careful. There is so much meaning in each every line, and I did so many takes searching for the best way to portray them.

But there is a part where ‘ah, ah, ah, ah’ is sung repeatedly, and I got that on my first take. Singing that part felt really good. There was a lot of technical skill and emotion put into this song, so I hope people listen closely and notice all the different elements in it.”
