The golden era of television animation is set to take center stage once more as the acclaimed live talk series Seiyuden 2 ~Voice Treasure Box~ officially confirms its upcoming showcase. Scheduled for October 31, 2026, at the Nerima Bunka Center Small Hall in Tokyo, the gathering bridges generations of industry pioneers, offering unprecedented insight into the foundational years of the Japanese anime boom.
Spearheaded and hosted by legendary voice actress Michiko Nomura—beloved for her immortal roles as Wakame Isono in Sazae-san and Shizuka Minamoto in Doraemon—the event serves as both an oral history project and a celebration of artistic endurance. Following a triumphant inaugural run in May 2025, this second chapter expands its scope by bringing together iconic performers and behind-the-scenes visionaries across two distinct sessions.
Lineup of Legends
The afternoon session features an powerhouse roster comprising Akira Kamiya (City Hunter, Fist of the North Star), Ichiryusai Harumi (Space Battleship Yamato), Shigeru Chiba (Yu Yu Hakusho, One Piece), alongside veteran producer Michihiko Suwa of Yomiuri Telecasting Corporation, renowned for shepherding mega-franchises like Detective Conan and InuYasha.
The evening performance shifts focus to an equally storied cohort, welcoming theatrical heavyweight Hidekatsu Shibata, versatile performer Yuji Mitsuya, pioneering idol voice actress and Tokyo Anime Award Festival laureate Mami Koyama, and premier sound director Masafumi Mima, whose acoustic craftsmanship defined epoch-making titles like Attack on Titan and My Hero Academia.
Preserving Animation Heritage
Popular anime were broadcast brilliantly every single week. We want attendees to feel the raw power of the creators who built those worlds and touch upon the passions that sustain this medium.
