Code-named “Twilight,” Loid is tasked with spearheading Operation Strix, a secret espionage mission that requires him to enroll a young student at the Eden Academy. As such, Twilight pretends to be a psychiatrist named Loid Forger, infiltrates the academy, and attempts to successfully complete his mission.
In addition to reprising his role from the Spy x Family TV series, Eguchi has logged over 130 credits as a voice actor. Eguchi’s most notable credits include Demon Slayer, Fruits Basket, My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU, and Ore Monogatari! Eguchi will also voice Loid Forger in the upcoming video game adaptation, Spy x Anya: Operation Memories.
9 Atsumi Tanezaki is Anya Forger

Despite her lack of awareness of how the world works, Anya can read minds and happens to be the only one who knows about Loid’s true origin. However, Loid isn’t aware of Anya’s mind-reading skills, which the young girl uses to clandestinely assist her parents’ spy missions.
With roughly 150 credits to her name, Tanezaki is an accomplished voice actor who has worked in some of the most popular anime on record. Tanezaki notably voiced Nikki Hanada in Dr. Stone, Emporio Alnino in JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, Faye in various Fire Emblem video games, and Tome Kurata in Mob Psycho 100.

By day, Yor works at Berlint City Hall to keep her role as an assassin under wraps.

Bond is loyal to the family and most protective of Anya, yet detests Yor’s cooking and will do anything to avoid it.
With a 20-year resume, Matsuda has voiced roughly 100 characters in movies, TV, and video games. Although Bond Forger represents his longest-lasting TV role, Matsuda has turned in vocal performances in Naruto: Shippuden, Black Clover, and The Seven Deadly Sins.
