Who voices Mechamaru in Jujutsu Kaisen?

He also appeared in other huge anime titles, such as Demon Slayer, Puella Magi Madoka Magica, Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War, and Pokémon, just to name a few.
Meanwhile, video game voice actor, Keith Silverstein played this supporting character in the English dub. He’s mostly known for his work in Genshin Impact as the voice of the Geo Archon, Zhongli. He also played the main villain in Miraculous Ladybug, Hawk Moth (aka Gabriel Agreste). Other titles this voice actor appeared in include World of Warcraft, Naruto, Hunter x Hunter, and Diablo IV.
