HoYoverse is working hard to make their new characters as aesthetically pleasing and fun to play as possible. In addition to a well-thought-out gameplay kit, this also includes a suitable voice for the perfect gaming experience. But who are the voices of Penacony?
For a large part of the gacha game community, in addition to the actual appearance of the characters, their voices are particularly important. Choosing the right voice actor for a game character is one of the last steps to create a coherent overall picture, and can also be a good selling point! But who are the voices of Penacony? — I'd say we just go and find out!
Who hides behind the most famous singer in the Star Rail universe?
Honkai Star Rail: Listen up! — These Are The Upcoming Character's Voice Actors
To keep things at least somewhat organized, we will take a closer look at the next four upcoming 5-Star characters in Honkai Star Rail for version 2.2 and 2.3 in their release order. Next to the English voices, we will also include the Japanese voice actors for all anime fans out there!
Let's get started with version 2.2!
Honkai Star Rail: Robin & Boothill Voice Actors
| Character | English VA | Japanese VA |
| Robin |
|
|
| Boothill |
|

This line up is probably the most important to most Star Rail fans, since it features Penacony's superstar Robin!
In case you didn’t know, Robin actually borrowed her voice from an equally talented and famous singer from our word, named Chevy! Chevy is an English-speaking singer and content creator, who is most known for her K-Pop song covers and cozy originals. She has already gather over 300,000 subscribers on YouTube and is uploading new videos on a regular basis. Her most recent song is called “Fallin' Twice” and just came out a month ago! — Go and check her out right here!
Next to Robin, we will also have Boothill on the second half of the version 2.2 banner, and I bet especially his Japanese voice will sound more than familiar to most anime fans out there. Boothill's VA Konishi Katsuyuki did also lend his voice to Diavolo from “JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Golden Wind” and Tengen Uzui from “Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba”!
What a good mix of characters!
Honkai Star Rail: Firefly & Jade Voice Actors
| Character | English VA | Japanese VA |
| Firefly & Sam |
|
|
| Jade |
|

And we have once again another singer as one of our Penacony voices! This time it's Firefly's Japanese voice actor who is a singer, songwriter, and voice actor!
Next to Kusunoki Tomori's singing career, there is one specific role which made her quite famous: Believe me or not, Firefly shares the voice with the one and only Makima from Chainsaw Man! — Yep, this combination really is one of a kind, since both characters have no similarities at all, with Makima being a manipulative super brain and Firefly the innocent but strong girl we got to know during the Honkai Star Rail main quest!
Truly a fascinating choice of characters!
Last but definitely not least, we have the voice actors of Jade and let me tell you, after I saw, who Jade's English VA is, I cried a little happy tear. To make it short: Faye Mata is not only the voice of several anime characters, but also the voice of Lulu from League of Legends! (I really couldn't believe my eyes with this one.)
And to be even cooler, I should probably also tell you that Jade's Japanese VA (Mitsuishi Kotono) also voiced the legendary Usagi Tsukino aka Sailor Moon!
Personally, I love finding out about which characters share the same voices, but some of these combinations really are something else! As a former Lulu main, the Jade one really caught me off guard!
