Solo Leveling Star Taito Ban on Why Jinwoo Has Become an Anime Fave
----- ADS-----
Solo Leveling hit the ground floor running when its anime adaptation premiered earlier this year and that is in part thanks to the vocal performance of voice actor Taito Ban. Aside from taking on the role of the anime’s star, Jinwoo Sung, Ban has also had big roles in major franchises such as Go Go Loser Ranger, Kaiju No. 8, Oshi no Ko, Vinland Saga, and One-Punch Man. At this year’s Anime Expo, we here at ComicBook had the opportunity to talk one-on-one with Taito Ban as the voice actor shared his thoughts on why Jinwoo Sung stuck a chord amongst anime audiences.
Following the success of the anime adaptation, Solo Leveling wasted little time in confirming that a second season was on the way. The original WEBToon has plenty of material left to adapt, especially considering that the story of Jinwoo Sung will continue in that medium via Solo Leveling Ragnarok.
Taito Ban broke down how Jinwoo has managed to resonate with anime fans and will continue to do so in the second season, “Fans can resonate with the position Jinwoo is in. Plus, the one thing that never changes about Jinwoo is that he never gives up. I think what’s really appealing about him is how he tackles things so frantically yet in a down-to-earth way. I think that’s what’s good about him as a character.”
