Aoi Yuki in Sonic!

I know they don't reuse the game seiyuu in this (aside from Tails like in the West) and Toshiyuki Morikawa is fantastic, but Koji Yusa not voicing Shadow feels weird.

But then it's totally make sense because Shadow in movie is voiced by Keanu Reeves, and Morikawa is pretty much Keanu JP voice dub actor for years - in both movies and games (like CP2077).

Same thing happened here in Spanish-speaking Latin America, it has been confirmed that Shadow will be voiced by René García, Keanu Reeves most recurring dub VA, it also kind of helps that Shadow has been voiced in Spanish by different dub VAs in various cartoons, and no Sonic game has received an official Spanish dub. I actually think it's pretty fitting that Shadow is voiced by René García in Neutral Spanish since he's best known for voicing Vegeta in Dragon Ball Z, and funnily enough Jim Carrey as Dr. Eggman is voiced by Mario Castañeda, Carrey's usual dub VA, but also famous for voicing Goku
