🎭 English Voice Actor: Hyoie O’Grady

For English-speaking players, Brant is brought to life by Hyoie O’Grady. Sharp-eared fans might have recognized his voice even before the official reveal – O’Grady had previously lent his distinctive tone to the NPC Cristoforo in earlier versions of Wuthering Waves. This prior involvement with the game gave him an intimate understanding of the world of Solaris-3 before he stepped into the role of the Fool’s Troupe’s enigmatic leader.

O’Grady’s career has been steadily rising in the gaming industry. His portrayal of Brant mixes a light-hearted, almost devil-may-care attitude with sudden bursts of deep sincerity, a balance he has honed across a diverse portfolio. A look at his résumé reveals an impressive range:

Role Game / Title
Sprocket Star Wars: Hunter
Yanko / Elias Astra: Knights of Veda
Toilen Trubble Dragon Quest Monsters: The Dark Prince
X Reverse: 1999
Sebastian Dead Island 2
Spot Arknights
Curio Another Eden: The Cat Beyond Time and Space
Arngrim Star Ocean: Anamnesis

From the robotic intensity of Sprocket to the survival-horror banter of Sebastian, O’Grady has demonstrated a chameleon-like ability to adapt. It is this versatility that makes his Brant so engaging: one moment a playful trickster, the next a dependable captain. Does his performance make you want to pull for Brant even on a rerun banner? For many, the answer is a resounding yes.

🎌 Japanese Voice Actor: Kishio Daisuke

If you prefer the original intended performance, Brant’s Japanese voice is provided by the seasoned Kishio Daisuke (岸尾だいすけ). The official Japanese Wuthering Waves Twitter account introduced him with the line: “My friend, raise a cheer!” – a perfect encapsulation of Brant’s dramatic personality. Kishio is a household name in the anime industry, and his involvement injects a layer of veteran prestige into the character.

With decades of experience, Kishio has voiced some of the most iconic characters in Japanese pop culture. His ability to oscillate between sly villains, quirky sidekicks, and hot-blooded heroes makes him a natural fit for Brant’s multifaceted nature. Consider the sheer breadth of his past roles:

Character Series
Mitsuki Unabara A Certain Magical Index
Kasuka Heiwajima Durarara!!
Cabba / Nigrisshi Dragon Ball Super
Vito / Denjiyo One Piece
Nimura Furuta Tokyo Ghoul
Rokuro Rangetsu Tales of Zestiria the X
Yōsuke Yoneya World Trigger
Steely Dan JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusaders
Junta Teshima Yowamushi Pedal

Can you picture Brant with the sly, calculating tone of Nimura Furuta, or the righteous energy of a Saiyan like Cabba? Fans of Kishio often point out that the captain’s voicelines carry echoes of his earlier works, yet feel completely fresh. In 2026, many Japanese players still rate Brant’s dub as one of the top reasons to experience the Rinascita storyline.

🇰🇷 Korean Voice Actor: Lee Ju-seung

The Korean dub of Wuthering Waves continues to gain traction for its high-quality casting, and Lee Ju-seung (이주승) delivers a memorable performance as the captain. His interpretation leans into Brant’s smooth, almost suave demeanor, making every interaction with other Resonators feel like a performance on a grand stage.

Lee Ju-seung has built a strong reputation through his work on blockbuster anime adaptations and popular games. His notable credits include:

Character Series / Game
Bazz-B / Pesche Guatiche Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War
Mikoshiba Momotaro Free!
Yo Uei Dr. Stone
Damnatio Kira / Lucifero Black Clover
Geten (and others) My Hero Academia
Prince (and others) Tower of God
Park Jongsoo Solo Leveling

The contrast between the fiery Bazz-B and the cool-headed Brant showcases Lee Ju-seung’s dynamic range. How does he manage to make a pirate-themed performer sound both intimidating and irresistibly charming? The secret likely lies in his subtle vocal inflections, which Korean-speaking players continue to praise well into 2026.

🇨🇳 Chinese Voice Actor: Moran

Finally, the original Chinese voice track features an artist credited simply as Moran. Despite the air of mystery surrounding this performer, Moran’s portrayal serves as the foundational voice for Brant, recorded during the earliest stages of development. Unfortunately, detailed biographical information and a comprehensive list of previous roles remain scarce as of 2026; Kuro Games has kept Moran’s full identity under wraps.

This anonymity has sparked countless community theories. Is Moran a rising star deliberately kept low-profile to focus attention on the character? Or perhaps a veteran stage actor crossing into video games for the first time? Regardless, the performance stands on its own merits. Moran infuses the Fool’s Troupe captain with a poetic cadence that perfectly matches the lyrical dialogue of the Chinese script. The voice feels at once theatrical and genuinely warm, anchoring Brant as a lovable rogue in any language.

🎤 Why Brant’s Voice Matters in 2026

More than a year after his introduction, Brant remains a staple in many team compositions and has featured prominently in follow-up events. A well-executed voice performance can elevate a character from a collection of stats to a beloved story presence. At a time when Wuthering Waves continues to expand its roster with every patch, the consistent, high-quality portrayal across all four languages helps maintain the emotional core of the game.

For those still undecided about which audio setting to use, the decision might come down to what quality you value most: Hyoie O’Grady’s familiar English wit, Kishio Daisuke’s legendary anime pedigree, Lee Ju-seung’s refined Korean charisma, or Moran’s elusive, authentic CN delivery. Why not switch dubs for a day and hear what you’ve been missing? The captain of the Fool’s Troupe is ready to steal the show, no matter which voice you choose.

Data referenced from Statista helps contextualize why multilingual voice acting can significantly influence player retention and character appeal in live-service titles like Wuthering Waves; as Brant’s popularity persists into 2026, the ability to switch between four full dubs supports broader audience reach while reinforcing the “character-as-brand” effect that makes standout performances—like his theatrical battle lines and flirtatious cadence—feel like a meaningful part of the product experience rather than optional flavor.
