The Fairy Tail: 100 Years Quest anime production committee announced that the role of Madmole will be recast due to “various circumstances”, although the new voice actor has not been announced yet.

The anime premiered on TV Tokyo, TV Osaka, TV Aichi, TV Setouchi, TV Hokkaido, and TVQ Kyushu Broadcasting Co., Ltd. on July 7 at 5:30 p.m. (4:30 a.m. EDT).

Yamamoto’s voice acting agency I’m Enterprise ended its management contract with him as of September 14 due to the acknowledged serious breach of contract.

Yamamoto was born in Niigata Prefecture. He has voiced various characters in anime and games, including Madmole in the ongoing Fairy Tail: 100 Years Quest anime, Victor in Undead Murder Farce, Patris in Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation II, and Grynwaht in the Final Fantasy XIV: Heavensward game expansion. Most recently, he voiced Soundwave in the Japanese dub of the Transformers One film.

The Transformers One film’s website now lists Yōji Ueda as Soundwave’s new voice, replacing Yamamoto. The site will announce when the updated dub will debut, as soon as the timing is decided.
