Woah no, he confirmed on twitter than he only plays Kanji in the second half of the anime and Troy Baker has confirmed that he returned for both Arena and Golden. Plus, while close, his voice is different to Troy Baker\'s and definitely not the one Kanji has for his new lines in Golden. (Which are more Troy Baker using a slightly less rough tone)


** He also replaces the original voice actor for Taro Namatame. He also covers up for both that actor and TroyBaker for the new lines in ''Persona 4: Golden''

Matthew Mercer is an American voice actor born in Florida. While he mostly voiced extras in anime dubbing, he found more prominence in western animation voice roles and Japanese video game dubs, though as of late, he's been getting more prominent roles in anime slowly. In 2010, he directed and starred in the live-action web original series ''WebVideo/ThereWillBeBrawl'', which also featured friends and other voice actors such as Creator/KyleHebert.

* PlayingAgainstType: As [[VideoGame/DeadOrAlive Bayman]]. The character himself is totally Badass, but the fact that Matthew Mercer speaks in a Russian accent for this character is kinda rare for many of his roles.
