The official website for Caligula, the television anime adaptation of FuRyu’s The Caligula Effect game, announced on Friday that Tomoaki Maeno will replace Yuichiro Umehara as the voice of Izuru Minesawa.
The original game received a remake for the PlayStation 4 that shipped in Japan on May 17.
Umehara was hospitalized in May after being diagnosed with acute disseminated encephalomyelitis, an autoimmune disease that affects the nervous system.
Maeno will begin appearing in the role in the anime’s ninth episode, which will premiere on Tokyo MX on Sunday.
