Ryusei Nakao (Affiliation: 81 Produce) will play Professor Gibellus!

Ryusei Nakao is an legendary voice actor that has played long-time archvillain roles in several worldwide animations. He voices the evil villain Gibellus, who controls the dreadful fortress Zorgaus, and leads an alien army to Earth to rule over its skies. Claiming himself as the “Ruler of the Universe,” just what does the Last Genius who boasts of many planetary invasion experiments have planned for the Earth? Professor Gibellus, voiced by Ryusei Nakao, simply cannot be missed.

Among Gibellus’ army is a four-alien unit commanded by Alien Pedan. Voicing the unit is the popular Japanese comedy trio “Yasuda Dai Circus” (Affiliation: Shochiku Geino) and Yoshihisa Araiof Parallel Hankoki), an Ultraman super-fan also signed with Shochiku Geino.

An interview including the casting announcement can be viewed from the link below (in Japanese only):

Leading the trio is Strategy Alien Alien Pedan, creator of the space robot King Joe. This leader will be voiced by the Yasuda trio’s real leader, Dancho Yasuda, a cycling enthusiast and lover of pedals.

Alien Pedan’s subordinates include the Insect Alien, Alien Ckalutch, played by Hiro who travelled all the way to Tokyo from Wakayama just for post-recording; the Alien Phantom, Alien Zelan, played by Kuro-chan for his uncanny resemblance to the alien; and Galmess, played by Yoshihisa Arai who has brief appearances in two previous series Ultraman Orb and Ultraman Z.

Many other aliens are set to show up in ULTRAMAN DECKER FINALE: JOURNEY TO BEYOND, to be viewable on TSUBURAYA IMAGINATION & theaters throughout Japan
