Have you heard the news? The Ultraman Zero movie trilogy is getting dubbed into English to celebrate his 15th Anniversary! Dozens of heroes are finding new voices as beloved dub studio OkraTron 5000, responsible for the dubs of Ultraman Z, Ultraman Blazar, and Ultraman Arc, work their magic on this legendary trilogy of films!
Ultraman Connection has been given the honor of revealing the new voices of two key characters — Commander of the Inter Galactic Defense Force, Father of Ultra, and host of Ultraman Zero from the Neo Frontier Universe, Nozomu Taiga!
Father of Ultra — Cris George
Perhaps known best for his role as the bashful bear mink Bepo from One Piece, Cris George is bringing his talents to the venerable veteran of the Ultimate Wars, Ultraman Ken, better known as Father of Ultra! Cris had few words to share, as he has put most of his effort into adapt Ken’s nature as wise, kind, and a surprisingly doting father and husband into the English language.

It was a joy and a privilege to work alongside such talented people in such an epic show!
Nozomu Taiga — Kyle Igneczi
Most recently known for his excellent performance as the eponymous lead character of Sabikui Bisco, Kyle Igneczi has brought the confidence and swagger he brought to that role to that of Nozomu Taiga, the young ace of Super GUTS in Ultraman Saga! Any host of Ultraman Zero needs a strong personality, and Kyle brings that in spades! Let’s hear what he had to say about the role.
Quote:
We all have dreams of being the hero, rising up to overcome larger-than-life circumstances to make the world a bit better for the people we love. Jumping into the world of Ultraman, especially as the charismatic and delightfully subversive Taiga, is beyond what I ever imagined when playing with my brothers growing up. Its an honor to lend my voice to this role and I can’t wait to see where this journey takes us.
These two are just a few of the incredible performers bringing their talents to the Ultraman Zero trilogy. Stick close to the Ultraman Global Twitter account and Ultraman Connection to find out who else is taking on this giant project!
