Tetsu Inada is an active voice actor with three recent anime casting announcements: Gordon in Kindergarten Wars, Dark Dragon in The Villager of Level 999, and a cameo in the Yani Neko opening theme music video.
Tetsu Inada has been a steady presence in anime casting announcements through 2026. In May, the staff of the Kindergarten Wars television anime announced he would voice Gordon, the vice-principal and school nurse. The adaptation, directed by Shinsuke Gomi at Sunrise and Felix Film, is set to premiere in Japan in spring 2027. Inada joins a cast that includes Atsumi Tanezaki, Kentaro Kumagai, Hitomi Ohwada, Satoshi Hino, and Mariya Ise.
In August, two more roles surfaced. The Villager of Level 999 anime added Inada as Dark Dragon, a character appearing in the eighth episode, which airs next Thursday. The series debuted on TV Tokyo on July 1 and streams on Crunchyroll as it airs in Japan. The same week, the music video for Wasurelanneyo's "Nannmonee," the opening theme of the TV anime Yani Neko, was released on August 13. It features Inada alongside voice actor Yuko Natsuyoshi, director Taku Kimura, and original creator Nyan Nyan Factory, with cameos from the Kaiji series.
The three announcements show Inada working across different genres and formats, from a school-set action comedy to a fantasy series and a music video crossover. No single story covers his broader career, but the cluster establishes him as a recurring name in current anime production.
