Which Voice Actors Will Return In Kamisama Kiss Season 3?

I’m crossing my fingers for more 'Kamisama Kiss' — I’ve been telling my friends at the café that the voice cast is a huge part of what makes the show sing. Officially, there’s been no season 3 announcement as of mid-2024, so there aren’t definitive confirmations of who will return. Still, from an industry-insider kind of perspective (from a fan who reads seiyuu news every morning and loves picking apart press releases), the safest bet is that the main Japanese cast would be asked back. That means Junichi Suwabe as Tomoe and Mamiko Noto as Nanami are the names I’d expect to see on any return-cast list, and Daisuke Ono as Mizuki would almost certainly be in the mix. Those are the voices that anchored the first two seasons and the OVAs, and production committees normally prioritize continuity for lead roles.

For the supporting roles, it’s a bit more variable: sometimes smaller parts are recast because of scheduling conflicts, agency negotiations, or the seiyuu’s workload, but often the studio does manage to bring most of them back. If you care about English dub consistency, the situation can be even more hit-or-miss depending on licensing and dub studio involvement. My approach has been to watch the industry signals — where the seiyuu show up for events, cast lists in convention panels, and staff tweets. If/when a season 3 is announced, I’ll be looking for the PV and official release which almost always lists the main returning cast right up front.

If you want to track this without burning yourself out, I’d suggest setting Google alerts for ‘Kamisama Kiss season 3’ and following the official account and the lead seiyuu. That way you catch any casting tweets immediately. Personally, I’ll be both nervous and thrilled the minute those three names are reconfirmed — that rush never fades, and the idea of hearing Tomoe’s voice again makes my day every time I imagine it.

I’ve been low-key refreshing anime news sites about 'Kamisama Kiss' because it’s honestly one of those shows where the voice acting is half the heart. No official season 3 had been announced by mid-2024, so there’s nothing set in stone. Even so, if a new season does go ahead, the most likely returning cast members would be the core Japanese trio: Junichi Suwabe (Tomoe), Mamiko Noto (Nanami), and Daisuke Ono (Mizuki). These three have been consistent through the TV seasons and OVAs, and studios tend to bring back main seiyuu to keep character dynamics familiar for viewers. I wouldn’t be surprised if most of the supporting seiyuu returned too, but that stuff often depends on scheduling and whether the production company can secure everyone.

For my part, I like to triangulate info from a few places: the anime’s official website (they often keep a cast roster up-to-date), the seiyuu’s agencies or personal pages, and major anime news outlets which usually report immediately on casting announcements. If season 3 is ever confirmed, the initial press release almost always mentions which voice actors are returning versus which are new, so that’s the moment to look for solid names rather than speculation. Meanwhile, I re-listen to character songs and seiyuu interviews — that keeps the hype alive and also reminds me why those particular voices were such a perfect fit.

So while I can’t give you a definitive “who will return” list yet, if you want a practical next step, follow the official channels and the lead seiyuu — they’ll be the first to clue fans in. I’ll be right there watching for the announcement, and I’ll probably squeal the second those familiar voices are officially back.

I’m still buzzing thinking about the possibility of a third run of 'Kamisama Kiss' — the show left such a warm, bittersweet echo that I’ve been checking for news now and then. As of mid-2024 there hasn’t been an official confirmation of a season 3, so there aren’t any guaranteed “returning” cast lists to point at. That said, if a new season were greenlit, the industry pattern and the franchise’s history make it very likely that the core Japanese cast would be invited back. The trio everybody hugs their headphones for are Junichi Suwabe as Tomoe, Mamiko Noto as Nanami, and Daisuke Ono as Mizuki — those three define the anime’s voice chemistry, and studios usually try hard to keep that chemistry intact for sequels or continuations. I’d put money on them being first in line to reprise their roles unless something dramatic happens with scheduling or contracts.

Beyond those lead roles, most fans expect the supporting ensemble — Kurama, Akura-Oh, the familiars, and the school/temple side characters — to come back too, because their return preserves pacing and in-jokes. What I do when I’m anxious for confirmations is stalk the anime’s official Twitter, the seiyuu agencies’ feeds, and the Blu-ray/press release pages; those are where the production committee drops cast confirmations (and seiyuu guests at events are often the sneakiest hints). If you want clearer proof for who "will" return, keep an eye on any event announcements (like stage events or corners at seasonal anime expos) and official staff pages — once a season 3 is announced, the returning cast often appears in the announcement poster or the first PV. For now, though, it’s pretty much hopeful waiting for the trio I mentioned to come back and for the rest of the cast to follow.

If you’re anything like me and can’t stand waiting, a practical move is to follow Junichi Suwabe, Mamiko Noto, and Daisuke Ono on their public social channels and set alerts for agency posts: seiyuu often celebrate a reprise with a short message or retweet. I’ve kept tabs that way on other shows, and it’s oddly satisfying when an official tweet finally drops. In the meantime, digging back into the soundtrack, rewatching the character shorts, or listening to seiyuu radio archives scratches the itch and gives a fresh appreciation for how essential those voices are, whether or not season 3 is officially on the way.
