Satoshi Tsuruoka is cast as Graster in season two of Hell Mode, per the show's website announcement. He is not among the cast named for the new Armored Trooper Votoms films.
Satoshi Tsuruoka's current credit on the Yomimono beat comes from the second season of Hell Mode. The anime's website announced six new cast members on Friday, August 14, 2026, and Tsuruoka is listed among them as the voice of Graster. The other additions are Yuuki Sanpei as Sigur, Yasuyuki Kase as Lukidral, Kō Bonkobara as Gatoruga, Takaaki Torashima as Neftira, and Shinya Takahashi as Yagof. The season premiered on Tokyo MX on July 3.
The Votoms story does not touch Tsuruoka. The official website for Sunrise and Production I.G's Sōkō Kihei Votoms Haiiro no Hexe revealed the cast for two new Armored Trooper Votoms films, with Miyuki Sawashiro as the feared AT pilot Ash Vamps, the Grey Witch. Shinichirō Miki, Yūki Kaji, and Yūichi Nakamura are among the other names. Original Votoms director Ryōsuke Takahashi is supervising, and Mamoru Oshii is directing.
So the current picture is narrow. One announcement places Tsuruoka in a supporting role in Hell Mode season two. The most recent Votoms casting news does not list him. There are no other credits, no roles in the Votoms films, and no statements from Tsuruoka himself in either story.
