Guest: Jessie James Grelle

Jessie James Grelle is a voice actor and ADR script writer whose work spans anime, animation, and games. Fans know Jessie as Yuri Katsuki in Yuri!!! on Ice, Armin Arlert in Attack on Titan, and Fumikage Tokoyami in My Hero Academia, three roles that have become major touchpoints across sports anime, dark fantasy, and superhero storytelling.

Jessie’s credits also include a wide range of character-driven series, from Byakuya Togami in Danganronpa: The Animation and William Vangeance in Black Clover to Ritsuka Uenoyama in Given. Their work moves across heartfelt leads, sharp ensemble roles, dramatic character arcs, and big action moments, giving fans plenty to recognize from across the anime landscape.

Their resume also reaches into shoujo and josei favorites, including Prince Zen in Snow White with the Red Hair, Kyohei Takano in The Wallflower, and Kuranosuke Koibuchi in Princess Jellyfish. Those roles bring a softer, romantic, and character-focused side to Jessie’s body of work, showing the range behind performances that can be funny, emotional, stylish, and sincere.

Beyond acting, Jessie has worked as an ADR script writer, helping shape English-language adaptations for anime audiences. That part of their career adds another layer to their convention appearance, giving fans a chance to hear not only about performance, but also about the writing and adaptation process behind bringing anime to English-speaking viewers.

At MiraiCon 2026, Jessie joins the guest lineup for panels, signings, and conversations about voice acting, script work, anime roles, and the characters fans continue to connect with.
