Danganronpa voice cast heads to San Francisco anime festival

The San Francisco Anime & Cosplay Festival announced its holiday event with the Danganronpa voice cast. Brian Beacock, Chris Tergliafera, Stephanie Sheh, and Keith Silverstein will be at the Japan Center East Mall in San Francisco on December 19 for a Holiday Voice Actor Signing Event.

The event runs from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tickets cost $5 and can be bought online or at the event.

All four actors have major roles in the Danganronpa franchise. Beacock is the voice of Monokuma, the bear who orchestrates the series' killing games. Tergliafera plays Gundham Tanaka, Sheh voices Mikan Tsumiki, and Silverstein voices Mondo Owada.

Beyond Danganronpa, each has a long career in voice acting. Silverstein is known for Robert E.O. Speedwagon in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure and Zhongli in Genshin Impact. Sheh has been Usagi Tsukino in Sailor Moon and Orihime Inoue in Bleach. Beacock also played Takato Matsuki in Digimon Tamers, and Tergliafera played Mohammed Abdul in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusaders.

The Japan Center East Mall is the cultural heart of San Francisco's Japantown. It hosts Japanese-inspired shops, restaurants, and events year-round, and the anime and cosplay festival takes place several times a year.

Danganronpa is a franchise created by Kazutaka Kodaka that spans video games, anime, and stage adaptations. The games are murder mystery visual novels: a group of high school students gets trapped and must escape by eliminating the others without being caught. The first title, Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc, came out in 2010 for PlayStation Portable, and the remake of the second game arrives in 2027.
