The official X account for the sprawling JoJo no Kimyou na Bouken franchise has revealed the voice actors joining the supporting cast for the seventh narrative arc, Steel Ball Run. The adaptation is currently streaming exclusively worldwide via Netflix, bringing Hirohiko Araki’s legendary alternate-timeline epic to life with weekly episode drops.
The Boom Boom Family Arrives

- L. A. Boom Boom voiced by Fumiyoshi Shioya
- Andre Boom Boom voiced by Yoshiki Nakajima

Production continues under the seasoned eye of David Production. Yasuhiro Kimura and Hideya Takahashi share directing duties, while series director Toshiyuki Katou oversees the grand vision. Meanwhile, Yasuko Kobayashi manages series composition, and Daisuke Tsumagari provides character designs alongside his role as chief animation director. Noted composer Yugo Kanno anchors the atmospheric soundscape.
Legacy of a Masterpiece
Hirohiko Araki initially serialized Steel Ball Run in Weekly Shounen Jump back in January 2004 before shifting it to Ultra Jump in April 2005, where it solidified its status as an alternate-timeline milestone. Spanning 24 initial volumes, the manga cemented Araki’s reputation for narrative reinvention following the monumental conclusion of Stone Ocean.
Since the publication of the inaugural Phantom Blood arc in 1986, the franchise has consistently pushed creative boundaries across decades. With the ongoing serialization of the ninth part, The JoJoLands, the cultural footprint of Araki's universe remains as vibrant as ever.
