Leading the charge was 28-year-old voice actor and lifelong Tokusatsu fan, Marcus "Marv" Chen. He wasn't just the ADR director; he was also the voice of Shotaro Hidari—the hard-boiled half of the legendary duo. Beside him, in the booth, was non-binary theater actor Quinn Li, cast as the enigmatic Philip, the walking library of planetary knowledge.

Then, the countdown. They had to sync their voices perfectly, overlapping like the two halves of their bodies.

In conclusion, Kamen Rider W is a thrilling and engaging tokusatsu series that has captured the hearts of fans worldwide. The English dub, produced by Discotek Media, has made the show more accessible to a broader audience, introducing a new generation of fans to the world of Kamen Rider.

The journey of Kamen Rider W to English-speaking shores was a windy road—from failed 4Kids experiments to legal streaming wars. Today, thanks to Shout! Factory and the talents of Sam Riegel, Johnny Yong Bosch, and Matthew Mercer, the stands as the gold standard for how tokusatsu should be localized.
