Meet the star-studded voice cast of Netflix's Blue Eye Samurai (2023) and the characters they bring to life in the animated series.
Quick Links The Blue Eye Samurai co-creators, husband-and-wife duo Michael Green and Amber Noizumi, came up with the idea for this story when they first saw their newborn child's blue eyes. Although there was an actual Blue Eye Samurai who lived in Japan during the 1600s, an English navigator named William Adams, this Netflix show shares only the name.
Brenda Song as Princess Akemi Close Brenda Song, whom many might remember from tuning in to the Disney Channel and watching The Suite Life of Zack and Cody or perhaps the movie Wendy Wu: Homecoming Warrior, is the voice of Akemi. She was born into privilege yet also bound by it. She seeks to rewrite her destiny after her engagement to Taigen falls apart, showcasing her resilience and determination.
Darren Barnet as Taigen Close Darren Barnet, catapulted to fame by Never Have I Ever, a series that also aired on Netflix, plays Taigen. Once an unmatched warrior, Taigen's life spirals after a defeat by Mizu, including the failed engagement he once had with Princess Akemi. His journey from seeking vengeance to developing an intricate bond with Mizu reflects his deep-seated quest for honor.
Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa as The Swordmaker Close Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa, whose storied career includes Mortal Kombat, Tekken, and even a role in Planet Of The Apes, plays the Swordmaker. The Swordmaker, who is also known as Master Eiji, is blind yet visionary. He crafts formidable blades and serves as a mentor and father figure to Mizu. His pivotal role helps to build Mizu into the warrior she is.
