As with the original series, many real wrestlers from New Japan Pro-Wrestling, including the current IWGP

heavyweight champion Kazuchika Okada, will appear in the new series, While most of them are voiced by

professional voice actors instead of themselves, only 44-year-old Togi Makabe, who is known for his violent

and bloody fighting style in the ring, voices himself. Check his video message below.
