Matsuzaka Toori revealed to be the voice actor for new Death God Bepo in "Death Note Light up the NEW world"

It was announced on 25 October that Matsuzaka Toori is the voice actor for the new Death God Bepo appearing in the new movie "Death Note Light up the NEW world" which will be shown in cinemas from 29 October. Bepo is a 189cm-tall gold Death God with six fingers who was the original owner of the Death Note in Ryuuzaki's possession (Ikematsu Sousuke). Matsuzaka who is a fan of the Death Note manga, commented that he was very happy when he got the offer to be a part of the Death Note series.

As this is the first time that he is acting as a Death God, Matsuzaka said that the viewers might not recognise his voice if they don't know who Bepo's voice actor is which he thinks is a good thing since this will allow them to enjoy his performance without any preset impressions. Besides Bepo, the two other Death Gods in the new movie i.e. Ryuuk and Aama will be played by Nakamura Shido and Sawashiro Miyuki respectively.
