Channing Tatum’s Character in Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle
Akaza, the Upper Moon 3 demon’s backstory takes center stage in the first installment, introducing us to two new characters: Keizo and his daughter, Koyuki. Channing Tatum lends his voice to Keizo, father of Koyuki, and the martial arts dojo owner in the Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle movie.
This marks the first time Channing Tatum did a voice acting role outside of Hollywood, and he did it out of the love he had for the Demon Slayer series. Channing Tatum’s voice acting performance as Keizo was highly praised by the dub fans after the premiere of Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle movie. You can watch a BTS clip of Channing Tatum’s amazing performance in the X post below:
Who Is Keizo in Demon Slayer?
As I mentioned earlier, Akaza’s backstory is finally revealed in the final act of the Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle movie. Akaza, known as Hakuji during his time as a human, crossed paths with Keizo when the latter was asked to handle the hotheaded boy assaulting people. When the whole world saw Hakuji as nothing but a delinquent, Keizo was the only one who offered him a second chance to start a new life.
Without getting into spoilers, Keizo was the important mentor character in Hakuji’s life and helped him turn his life around when no one else batted an eye. Since Channing Tatum played a limited character’s role in chapter 1, we can’t expect him to reprise his role again in the upcoming sequels. However, there is a chance that he may play a new character in the future. That said, if you have watched the English dub already, let us know your thoughts about Channing Tatum’s voice acting performance in the comments below.
