The official X/Twitter account for the One Piece franchise revealed on Sunday that voice actor Kazuki Yao will step down and “graduate” from the role of Franky in the franchise, and will be replaced.
Yao voices Franky, Jango, and Bon Clay in One Piece.
The X/Twitter account for the franchise had announced in October that Wataru Takagi was replacing Yao as the voice of Jango in episode #1,121, due to Yao’s poor health.
The account later explained that KENN was substituting as the voice of Judau due to production schedule issues.
