NTE Voice Cast Is Stacked! All 17 Characters’ CVs Explained + Notable Roles

Quick answer: All 17 characters in NTE feature both Chinese and Japanese voice tracks. The Japanese cast includes mainstream big names like Yuichi Nakamura, Rie Tanaka, Akari Kito, Tomokazu Sugita, Toshiyuki Morikawa, the Uchida siblings, Ayana Taketatsu, Miku Ito, Sayaka Ohara, and Kana Ichinose; the Chinese dub is carried by CN-server frontliners like 桑毓澤 (Sang Yuze), 馬洋 (Ma Yang), and 宋媛媛 (Song Yuanyuan). This article lists the Chinese and Japanese CV + notable works + fit analysis for each character, so anime fans can “pull a character for their voice actor.”

NTE’s Chinese and Japanese voice casts are among the most stacked of any new anime-style mobile game in 2026 — version 1.0 assembled at least 10 mainstream big-name Japanese voice actors right at launch, and the Chinese dub is staffed by members of top CN-server studios. This article is the deep-dive companion to the full voice-actor overview, focused on each voice actor’s notable works + how well they fit their NTE character, so anime-fan readers can “pull a character because of the voice actor.”

Chinese & Japanese Dual Voice Overview

NTE 1.0 ships with two full voice tracks, Chinese and Japanese, freely switchable in the interface (not tied to your server, so players in Taiwan/Hong Kong/Macau can hear the Chinese dub too). Of the 17 playable characters from 1.0 onward, 16 have an announced Chinese dub (only the 1.1 character Lacrimosa has not been added to the 1.0 Chinese track yet), and all 17 have an announced Japanese dub.

Especially worth mentioning:

• The protagonist “Esper Zero” is a rare industry case of a real-life sibling pair sharing a role — the male version is Yuma Uchida and the female version is Maaya Uchida, who are siblings in real life.
• ETD-4 captain Baicang is voiced by Yuichi Nakamura — the same actor as Gojo Satoru in “Jujutsu Kaisen” and Alto Saotome in “Macross Frontier,” whose aura matches the captain role superbly.
• The 1.1 character Lacrimosa is voiced in Japanese by Maria Naganawa — known for cute-type roles like Kanna in “Miss Kobayashi’s Dragon Maid” and Platelet in “Cells at Work!” — a striking contrast against a main-DPS “nightmare-stack” kit.

All 17 Characters, One by One

The Protagonist “Esper Zero”

• Chinese CV: 馬洋 (Ma Yang, male) / 曾彤 (Zeng Tong, female)
• Japanese CV: Yuma Uchida (male) / Maaya Uchida (female)

馬洋 (Ma Yang) notable works: Diluc Ragnvindr in “Genshin Impact,” Zenos yae Galvus in “Final Fantasy XIV,” Ezreal in “League of Legends,” 項述 (Xiang Shu) in “Dinghai Fusheng Records.” A member of Haitian Studio, trained under 洪海天 (Hong Haitian).

曾彤 (Zeng Tong) notable works: Pana in “Super People,” 雲苓 (Yunling) in “Guardian Tales,” Dorothy in “Sweet Home Town,” Anima in “Crystal of Atlan.”

Yuma Uchida notable works: Ash Lynx in “BANANA FISH,” Megumi Fushiguro in “Jujutsu Kaisen,” Rin Itoshi in “BLUE LOCK,” Haruka Sakura in “WIND BREAKER,” Futaro Uesugi in “Rascal Does Not Dream of a Fraudulent Bride” (lit. “The False Bride”), Kaoru Sakuraba in “THE IDOLM@STER SideM.”

Maaya Uchida notable works: Rikka Takanashi in “Love, Chunibyo & Other Delusions!”, Ranko Kanzaki in “THE IDOLM@STER Cinderella Girls,” Sharo in “Is the Order a Rabbit?”, Hiyori Iki in “Noragami,” Norman in “The Promised Neverland,” Katarina in “My Next Life as a Villainess.”

Fit: This is NTE’s most romantic casting design. The male version’s Yuma Uchida excels at “calm with a touch of hot blood” young men (Fushiguro, Ash), matching the protagonist’s composed “appraiser” personality; the female version’s Maaya Uchida excels at girls who are “gentle inside but distant on the surface” (Norman, Katarina), nailing the female Zero’s “anomaly investigator” vibe perfectly. The blood relation gives the two gender versions a natural consistency of vocal timbre, so you don’t have to worry that the voices will feel jarringly different when you pick a gender.

Nanally

• Chinese CV: 宋媛媛 (Song Yuanyuan)
• Japanese CV: Ayana Taketatsu

宋媛媛 (Song Yuanyuan) notable works: Yao in “Honor of Kings,” Barbara in “Genshin Impact,” Firefly in “Honkai: Star Rail,” Wendy & Roberta in “Arknights,” Nemesis in “Tower of Fantasy,” 寧蒂・阿波卡利斯 (Nandi Apocalypse) in “Houkai Gakuen 2.”

Ayana Taketatsu notable works: Azusa Nakano (“Azu-nyan”) in “K-On!”, Kirino Kosaka in “Oreimo,” Suguha Kirigaya (Leafa) in “Sword Art Online,” Sachiko Koshimizu in “THE IDOLM@STER Cinderella Girls,” Hotaru Shidare in “Dagashi Kashi,” Takane Shijou in “THE IDOLM@STER Million Live!”

Fit: Nanally was the first limited S-rank in the open beta, famous for high-speed burst from her “Colucci Technique” gauntlet combos, with a bright, tough, never-say-die personality. Ayana Taketatsu excels at girls who look “petite but are hardcore inside” (Azusa Nakano, Sachiko Koshimizu), a perfect fit for Nanally’s “punch above your weight, close-range gauntlet” design. The Japanese dub’s burst lines feel especially great — worth a listen.

---

Chiz (Xiaozhi)

• Chinese CV: 則靈 (Zeling)
• Japanese CV: Konomi Kohara

Konomi Kohara notable works: Kukuri in “Magical Circle Guru Guru,” Chika Fujiwara in “Kaguya-sama: Love Is War,” Hikaru Hoshina / Cure Milky in “Star☆Twinkle PreCure,” Yuko Yoshida (Shamiko) in “The Demon Girl Next Door,” Akane Mizuno in “Tsuki ga Kirei,” 那由他與我 (“Nayuta and Me,” lit.), Kasumi Nomura in “Joshikousei no Mudazukai” (Wasteful Days of High School Girls).

Fit: Chiz is a free S-rank Light-element main DPS who deals damage through a “grain market” resource-loop, with a lively, sharp, slightly business-minded personality. Konomi Kohara excels at girls who are “innocent yet have their own little schemes” (Chika Fujiwara, Cure Milky); paired with Chiz’s brown-sugar-pearl combos and “urban tycoon” feedback system, the character comes vividly to life.

---

Baicang

• Chinese CV: 桑毓澤 (Sang Yuze)
• Japanese CV: Yuichi Nakamura

桑毓澤 (Sang Yuze) notable works: Neuvillette in “Genshin Impact,” the Aha/Truth doctor in “Honkai: Star Rail,” Tyrone in “Soul Land,” 荀飛龍 (Xun Feilong) in “Apotheosis,” 墨翟 (Mo Di) in “Records of the Forgotten River.” Born 1998, graduated from the School of Communication, East China Normal University.

Yuichi Nakamura notable works: Gojo Satoru in “Jujutsu Kaisen,” Alto Saotome in “Macross Frontier,” Tomoya Okazaki in “CLANNAD,” Tatsuya Shiba in “The Irregular at Magic High School,” Bruno Bucciarati in “JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Golden Wind,” Graham Aker in “Mobile Suit Gundam 00,” Karamatsu in “Mr. Osomatsu,” Pretty Boy in “Ossan’s Love.”

Fit: This is the most “VA-meme”-discussed casting of 1.0. Yuichi Nakamura is one of the industry’s top contemporary “older-man” male voice actors, with an aura that is “absurdly strong yet lazy” — and Baicang is the ETD-4 captain and a Curse-element main DPS positioned as “strong enough to solo but lazy by nature, loves to drink, and resists tedious admin work,” practically a twin brother to Gojo Satoru’s “strongest and laziest.” On the Chinese side, Sang Yuze’s Neuvillette is also a widely recognized “aura-dominating” role, so both dubs have their own flavor.

---

Jiuyuan

• Chinese CV: 張安琪 (Zhang Anqi)
• Japanese CV: Rie Tanaka

Rie Tanaka notable works: Lacus Clyne in “Mobile Suit Gundam SEED” (reprised in 2024’s “SEED FREEDOM”), Suigintou in “Rozen Maiden,” Hikari Kujo in “Futari wa Pretty Cure Max Heart,” Hiroko Matsukata in “Working!!”, Ryushi Mifune in “Ground Control to Psychoelectric Girl.”

Fit: Jiuyuan is an S-rank Spirit-element rapid-swap burst sub-DPS, positioned to “swap in quickly to clean up, mark enemies with ”Rose Contract rounds’ then barrage them,” with a cool, dashing, onee-san vibe. Rie Tanaka’s two flagship roles — Lacus (the SEED-series heroine, the “diva commander” still standing strong 20 years on) and Suigintou (the “rotten-hearted maiden”) — are both “elegant on the outside, strong on the inside,” matching Jiuyuan’s rose theme and dual-wield setup extremely well. Many in the Japanese community took one look at the CV list and immediately yelled “Lacus-neesan!”

---

Sakiri

• Chinese CV: 蔡書瑾 (Cai Shujin)
• Japanese CV: Miku Ito

Miku Ito notable works: Miku Nakano in “The Quintessential Quintuplets,” Kokoro Tsurumaki in “BanG Dream!”, Kokkoro in “Princess Connect! Re:Dive,” “Uchi no Ko ni Kagitte…” (lit. “Not My Kid”), “The White Saint and the Black Priest” (film), Hifumi Kinoshita in “THE IDOLM@STER Million Live!”, Yume Nijino in “Aikatsu Stars!”

Fit: Sakiri is a “gluttonous gourmet,” a girl from the Yibang Antique Shop, and a Curse-element S-rank support — cute on the surface but sharp-tongued, pairing with her summon “Kiroumaru” to herd and devour mobs. Miku Ito’s Miku Nakano (the introverted one of the “Quintuplets” sisters) and Kokkoro (a mom-type loli) are both “cute outside but with depth inside,” a just-right match for Sakiri’s gap-moe design of “summon devours the small fry.” Incidentally, Sakiri’s summon “Kiroumaru” is voiced in Japanese by Daiki Hamano (Yuri in “SPY×FAMILY”).

---

Aurelia

• Chinese CV: 葛子瑞 (Ge Zirui)
• Japanese CV: Karin Takahashi

Karin Takahashi notable works: Nono Morikubo in “THE IDOLM@STER Cinderella Girls,” Rumina Hitomi in “D4DJ,” Miriam Hildegard v. Gropius in “Assault Lily Bouquet,” Kobeni Higashiyama in “Chainsaw Man,” Serufu Katsuki in “Do It Yourself!!”, a supporting role in “Dr. STONE.”

Fit: Aurelia is a launch-free Soul-element A-rank main DPS with a music theme, naming her moves after music-theory terms (“legato / staccato / mordent”) and able to ride a jellyfish to move — designed as a pure, cute “music girl.” Karin Takahashi’s Nono Morikubo (the introverted, black-haired girl of “Cinderella Girls”) and Kobeni (the office girl of “Chainsaw Man”) are both pure and endearing types, lining up nicely with Aurelia’s jellyfish + music-girl design.

---

Haniel

• Chinese CV: 蘇子蕪 (Su Ziwu)
• Japanese CV: Manaka Iwami

Manaka Iwami notable works: Akane Kurokawa in “Oshi no Ko” (2024 Seiyuu Awards Best Supporting Actress), “Raised by a Dragon” (lit.), Yumi Miyano in “Sasaki and Miyano,” Euphyllia Magenta in “The Magical Revolution of the Reincarnated Princess and the Genius Young Lady,” Tohru Honda in “Fruits Basket” (2019), Remi Namba in “The Tunnel to Summer, the Exit of Goodbyes,” “To Your Eternity,” “Love Me, Love Me Not,” Mahiru Shiina in “The Angel Next Door Spoils Me Rotten.”

Fit: Haniel is the “Stride Express record holder,” a Soul-element A-rank healer who throws her speaker “Hootie” to buff the whole team and stacks a four-part harmony for attack power — a lively, cheerful personality with a girlish musical streak. Manaka Iwami is one of the top up-and-coming powerhouses today, excelling at girls who are “cute outside but mature inside, able to carry the team” (Tohru Honda, Akane Kurokawa), giving Haniel’s “heal + damage-boost” multi-role kit clear, layered nuance.

---

Daffodill

• Chinese CV: 陳彥亦 (Chen Yanyi)
• Japanese CV: Sayaka Ohara

Sayaka Ohara notable works: Alicia Florence in “ARIA” (her single most iconic role), Yuko Ichihara in “xxxHOLiC,” Milly Ashford in “Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion,” Erza Scarlet in “Fairy Tail,” Layla Hamilton in “Kaleido Star,” Irisviel von Einzbern in “Fate/Zero,” “The Seven Deadly Sins,” “Classroom of the Elite” (film).

Fit: Daffodill is an S-rank Dark-element stagger-specialist sub-DPS — dual-blade, with a passive “Light Prism” that boosts her stagger contribution and an ultimate that unseals her left eye to apply “Insight” — designed as a cold, elegant, mysterious mature “older sister.” Sayaka Ohara’s signature “graceful older-sister” roles (Alicia’s elegance, Yuko Ichihara’s mystery, Erza’s steely red hair) are industry hallmarks, a virtually heaven-made match for Daffodill’s design.

---

Mint (Hakka)

• Chinese CV: 陳雨 (Chen Yu)
• Japanese CV: Akari Kito

陳雨 (Chen Yu) notable works: Dehya in “Genshin Impact,” No. 11 in “Zenless Zone Zero,” Blaze / Ember in “Arknights,” 嵐 (Lan) in “Tower of Fantasy,” Shani in “The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt” (and next-gen version), 洛凌塵 (Luo Lingchen) in “Huayishan Xinzhiyue,” Bastet in “Aether Gazer.”

Akari Kito notable works: Nezuko Kamado in “Demon Slayer” (her signature role, Seiyuu Awards Best Supporting Actress), Barbara in “Genshin Impact,” Ellen in “Zenless Zone Zero,” Kanata Konoe in “Love Live! Nijigasaki High School Idol Club,” Suzune Horikita in “Classroom of the Elite,” Momo Chiyoda in “The Demon Girl Next Door,” Noa Himesaka in “The Helpful Fox Senko-san,” Nene Yashiro in “Toilet-bound Hanako-kun,” Kotoko Iwanaga in “In/Spectre.”

Fit: Mint is an A-rank Spirit-element sub-DPS and “elite operative” who transforms into a tornado for sustained output on a held basic attack — an approachable, friendly, easy-to-pick-up design. Akari Kito is one of the most popular female voice actors in recent years, spanning multiple HoYoverse titles (Barbara, Ellen) with a very broad fanbase — putting her on an easy-to-obtain A-rank character so every player can raise “Nezuko’s voice” is a very smart casting move. For anime fans, Mint is the best example of “you can hear Akari Kito across games.”

Hathor

• Chinese CV: 洪海天 (Hong Haitian)
• Japanese CV: Kana Ichinose

洪海天 (Hong Haitian) notable works: A veteran voice actor, founder of Haitian Studio and 馬洋 (Ma Yang)”s mentor. Her body of work spans dubbed animation, games, film, and TV; she is one of the mid-career representatives of the Chinese voice-acting scene.

Kana Ichinose notable works: Suletta Mercury in “Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury” (the Gundam series’ first TV heroine; 18th Seiyuu Awards Best Supporting Actress), Fern in “Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End,” Yuzuriha Ogawa in “Dr. STONE” (season 3), Suzu Kanade in “The Dangers in My Heart,” a supporting role in “Darling in the Franxx.”

Fit: Hathor is an S-rank Aspect-element sub-DPS and “elite courier” — using martial-arts aerial juggles and ramming on a thorny motorcycle, her voice needs to be “calm and professional but with a girlish touch.” Kana Ichinose’s two signature roles — Suletta (the socially anxious girl piloting a Gundam) and Fern (the calm young mage) — are both “introverted outside, strong inside,” matching Hathor’s “professional courier who keeps to the schedule” vibe perfectly.

---

Lacrimosa (releases in 1.1)

• Chinese CV: 燕寧 (Yan Ning) (community-sourced; pending official confirmation before the 1.1 launch)
• Japanese CV: Maria Naganawa

Maria Naganawa notable works: Kanna Kamui in “Miss Kobayashi’s Dragon Maid,” Platelet in “Cells at Work!”, Saku Momoi (KIKI) in “Wasteful Days of High School Girls,” Komugi Inukai / Cure Wonderful in “Wonderful PreCure!”, Yae Niitsuma in “WorldEnd,” Mia in “Death March to the Parallel World Rhapsody.”

Fit: Lacrimosa is a new character in the 1.1 first-half banner, a Dark-element S-rank main DPS who works via a “nightmare-stack” DoT mechanic — designed as a “nightmare envoy” within ETD-4, girlish in appearance but terrifying in combat power. Maria Naganawa is known for roles that are “young-looking but with an iconic voice” (Kanna, Platelet) — the gap-moe casting makes Lacrimosa’s “innocent appearance + nightmare burst” hit even harder. Once 1.1 officially launches, expect a superb contrast performance.

---

Adler

• Chinese CV: 王宇航 (Wang Yuhang)
• Japanese CV: Toshiyuki Morikawa

王宇航 (Wang Yuhang) notable works: “The Westward (Fate Chapter),” “Arknights,” “Zenless Zone Zero,” “Honkai: Star Rail,” “Identity V.”

Toshiyuki Morikawa notable works: Kagaya Ubuyashiki in “Demon Slayer” (one of the most beloved roles of all time), Sephiroth in “Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children” (the definitive choice for that role), Yoshikage Kira in “JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Diamond Is Unbreakable,” Sir Conrad Weller in “Kyo Kara Maoh!”, Yang Wen-li in “Legend of the Galactic Heroes,” “Slam Dunk,” Minato Namikaze in “NARUTO,” Hiroshi Nohara (2nd generation) in “Crayon Shin-chan,” a supporting role in “Attack on Titan.” He is also the official Japanese dub voice of Tom Cruise, Ewan McGregor, and Keanu Reeves.

Fit: Adler is an A-rank Curse-element support and “gilt-edged butler,” the deputy manager and butler of the Yibon Antique Shop, providing shield buffs and stacking “Karma” layers of attack power — designed as an elegant, steady, ever-cleaning-up-the-mess mature man. Toshiyuki Morikawa’s “instant butler aura” may be the best in the industry (Kagaya Ubuyashiki, Sephiroth’s presence, Yang Wen-li’s sage demeanor); for Adler’s line “Leave the cleanup to me,” the voice alone wins you over a third of the way the moment it opens. This is one of the most praised “voice perfectly fits the character” castings of 1.0.

---

Fadia

• Chinese CV: 裴致瑩 (Pei Zhiying)
• Japanese CV: Kei Shindo

Kei Shindo notable works: Lillie in “Pokémon Sun & Moon” (2016–2019), Assassin / Semiramis in “Fate/Apocrypha,” Kyoka Jiro in “My Hero Academia,” Louise Halevy in “Mobile Suit Gundam 00,” Lovelitchi in “Tamagotchi!”, Anzu in “Hanamaru Kindergarten.”

Fit: Fadia is an S-rank Soul-element survival character, the “Apostle of Love and Death,” whose passive “Lightning Rod” can transfer teammates’ damage onto herself — designed as a resilient, tragic saint who shoulders harm for others. Kei Shindo’s Lillie (the protagonist of the “Pokémon” films), Semiramis (the assassin queen), and Kyoka Jiro (the calm headphone girl) are all “reserved, resolute, caring for others” types, a perfect match for Fadia’s “Lilith state” and cross-shield-apostle aura.

---

Hotori

• Chinese CV: 杜晴晴 (Du Qingqing)
• Japanese CV: Shizuka Ito

Shizuka Ito notable works: Nagi Sanzenin… — actually Maria in “Hayate the Combat Butler,” Hilda in “Beelzebub,” Wilhelmina Carmel in “Shakugan no Shana,” Kanzaki Kaori in “A Certain Magical Index” / “A Certain Scientific Railgun,” Akeno Himejima in “High School DxD,” Bel in “Pokémon Black & White,” Hisa Takei (the club president) in “Saki.”

Fit: Hotori is the proprietress of the “Yibang Antique Shop,” nicknamed the “Time Witch,” an S-rank Light-element sub-DPS skilled at time manipulation — designed as an elegant, distant, mature leading lady. Shizuka Ito excels at “graceful older-sister” types (Akeno Himejima, Kanzaki Kaori, Wilhelmina), her low voice combining sharpness with allure — a precise match for Hotori’s dual identity as a “time-stop sub-DPS and antique-shop mistress.” During pre-registration, the studio even released a special character voice message from Shizuka Ito, showing how much she valued the role of Hotori.

---

Edgar

• Chinese CV: 四白 (Sibai)
• Japanese CV: Yuko Sanpei

Yuko Sanpei notable works: Boruto Uzumaki, son of Naruto, in “BORUTO: NARUTO NEXT GENERATIONS,” Nozomi Yumehara / Cure Dream in “Yes! PreCure 5” (her first heroine role), Renton Thurston in “Eureka Seven” (her first lead role), Hayato Aizawa in “Area no Kishi,” Saruwatari Christine in “Daa! Daa! Daa!”, and a reprise of Nozomi Yumehara in “Otona Precure ‘23.”

Fit: Edgar is an A-rank Light-element healer who channels healing through “wild current,” with an ultimate “Finnegans Wake” that unfolds a maze domain — designed as a male youth healer toting a big backpack, with a touch of hot-blooded-boy + bookworm vibe. Yuko Sanpei is the recognized “king of androgynous boy voices” (Boruto, Renton, Christine), excelling at boys who are “hot-blooded but not crude,” exactly matching Edgar’s “green, fledgling healer” positioning.

---

Skia

• Chinese CV: 劉雨軒 (Liu Yuxuan)
• Japanese CV: Tomokazu Sugita

Tomokazu Sugita notable works: Gintoki Sakata in “Gintama” (the most-discussed industry role of the year), Kyon in “The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya,” Joseph Joestar (young) in “JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Battle Tendency,” Charlotte Katakuri in “ONE PIECE,” Gyomei Himejima in “Demon Slayer,” Yusuke Kitagawa in “Persona 5,” Kazuhira Miller in “Metal Gear Solid,” Chrom in “Fire Emblem Awakening,” “SAKAMOTO DAYS.”

Fit: Skia is the ETD-4 deputy captain and an A-rank Aspect-element main DPS, a tall canine operative who manipulates shadows into “Fang Thrust” pursuits and excels at a stealthy “Shadow Hound” mode — designed as a taciturn, stern, highly capable, tall mature man. Tomokazu Sugita excels at big men who are “imposing outside but warm inside” (Katakuri, Gyomei, Miller), and his particular “steady + highly capable” vibe instantly nails Skia’s “obeys his superior, enforces resolutely” design. “翳 (Kage — Skia’s Japanese character name),” a single character, carries an air of mystery, pairing just right with Sugita’s low voice.

Highlights of the Chinese Voice Cast

Don’t overlook the Chinese dub. NTE’s Chinese voice cast is also CN-server frontline, especially members from renowned studios like Shanghai Haitian Studio, North Star Penguin, and Shengjiang:

桑毓澤 (Sang Yuze) — Baicang

Born 1998, graduated from the School of Communication at East China Normal University, one of the representatives of China’s new-generation male voice actors. His notable works span two major HoYoverse titles: Neuvillette (Fontaine’s Chief Justice) in “Genshin Impact,” and the Aha/Truth doctor in “Honkai: Star Rail” — his aura-dominating presence is a strong fit for Baicang’s “ETD-4 captain.”

馬洋 (Ma Yang) — the Protagonist Zero (male)

Chinese Dub vs. Japanese Dub: Which Should You Pick?

Both are excellent. We suggest choosing by these three criteria:

1. You’re an anime fan who knows the Japanese voice actors

Pick the Japanese dub. You already know the signature roles of Yuichi Nakamura (Gojo Satoru), Akari Kito (Nezuko), Tomokazu Sugita (Gintoki), Toshiyuki Morikawa (Kagaya Ubuyashiki), Rie Tanaka (Lacus), and others, so you can immerse yourself instantly. The protagonist “Esper Zero” is especially a Japanese-dub-exclusive draw, with the Uchida siblings — a real-life brother-sister pair — sharing the role.

2. You’re a CN-server HoYoverse player familiar with the Chinese cast

Pick the Chinese dub. Sang Yuze’s Neuvillette, Ma Yang’s Diluc, Song Yuanyuan’s Barbara, Chen Yu’s Dehya, and Wang Yuhang’s “Honkai: Star Rail” roles are all familiar faces, giving you the warm feeling of “old friends playing new characters.” The Chinese lines’ lip-sync alignment and translation details are usually more precise too.

3. Don’t agonize — just listen to both

NTE supports switching the voice language any time in-game, with no server or file lock-in. Each character has many voice clips — daily lines, combat lines, ultimate callouts, and more — so we recommend trying both for 1–2 hours during launch week on a character or two, then picking the side that feels best while you play.

Behind the Scenes / Audition Stories

Maaya Uchida promoted it personally on Twitter

Before the April 2026 launch, Maaya Uchida posted on her own X (Twitter): “ありがとうございました〜! NTE にて、異能者・零の声を担当します☺️ 4月29日にリリースです!ひろがる世界に期待が高まりますね!!たのしみですっ!!” (“Thank you for having me! In NTE, I’m voicing the esper Zero. It releases on April 29! My anticipation for this expanding world keeps growing!! Can’t wait!!”). The tweet was retweeted by NTE’s Japanese-server account at the time, drawing wide attention from Japanese players.

Yuichi Nakamura’s “Washa-Nama” game stream

On “Washagana TV,” the web program he co-hosts with freelance writer Mafia Kajita, Yuichi Nakamura once streamed a playthrough of “NTE: Neverness to Everness” under the “Washa-Nama” banner. The moment Baicang — whom he voices himself — entered the screen, the stream chat exploded.

Official pre-registration voice-actor message series

The official YouTube channel “NTE Official” released several pre-registration / launch-commemoration message videos from the voice actors, including:

Want to Sample the Different Voices?

You can see each character’s detailed skills, role, and team-comp advice on a single page in the character codex; whenever you like a voice actor’s performance, just switch between the Chinese and Japanese dubs from the character page to listen. If what you care about is “how it feels to play,” pair this with the team-building primer; for a beginner’s starting order, we recommend starting from the beginner’s guide.
