ISHIDA

อากิระ อิชิดะ

A voice across worlds

From Kaworu Nagisa to Akaza.

A voice with many lives

Akira Ishida is a Japanese voice actor whose roles span animation, film and games. His screen credits include Kaworu Nagisa in Evangelion, Kotaro Katsura in Gintama and Akaza in Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba.

Those characters inhabit very different stories: Kaworu brings an enigmatic presence to Evangelion, while Katsura moves through the comedy and action of Gintama. Their contrast shows the range of roles in Ishida’s Japanese-language credits.

In Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle, Ishida returns as Akaza, a demon whose battle is intertwined with memories of his human life. The film listing below reflects titles available on FLM.RED rather than a complete filmography.
