Aleks Le - Kimetsu no Yaiba (Demon Slayer)
Aleks Le is an American voice actor who has starred in a number of animated TV series and video games. He was born in Los Angeles, California and is also currently living there. Aleks’ career as a voice actor began nearly twenty years ago, though he has only started taking on roles for anime projects very recently. Some of his most famous work to date includes his roles as Alexis Deux from Record of Grancrest War and the roles of both Ake and Ren Amaki from The Rising of the Shield Hero. Although he is known as a voice actor, Aleks also seems to have a passion for drawing art, as he often posts various drawings, sketches, and comics on his Twitter page.
Recently, Aleks Le has starred in the Kimetsu No Yaiba (Demon Slayer) anime series as Zenitsu Agatsuma. This character is a Demon slayer and a member of the Demon Slayer Corps. He is one of the main characters of the story and the traveling companion of Tanjiro Kamado, the main protagonist of the story.
Zenitsu Agatsuma
Zenitsu Agatsuma is a Demon slayer and a member of the Demon Slayer Corps. He is also a traveling companion of the main protagonist of the story, Tanjiro Kamado. He is a young boy, with a fair complexion. He has a scared look on his face as he is primarily a coward who was forced to join the Demon Slayer Corps. He is often found complaining that he will not live longer because his job is a very difficult and dangerous one and he believes that he is not skilled enough to complete his missions.
Zenitsu has a low opinion of himself and he doesn’t believe that he has any abilities that qualify him as a Demon Slayer. He thinks that he is completely useless and cannot do anything well. Despite all his weaknesses and shortcomings, Zenitsu always tries his best to do well when things come down to the wire. Although he doesn’t quite believe it himself, Zenitsu is actually quite powerful when he goes all out. That said, his frightful nature and lack of confidence often holds him back from doing what needs to be done.
Video Game Roles
Though his career as an anime voice actor is rather recent, Aleks’ voice acting career really began all the way back in 2003, where he provided the voice for Male Hoyoung from MapleStory. Aleks wouldn’t take on another voice acting role until 2010, where he voiced Punk Rampage and Leviathan Geomancer from Heroes of Newerth. He would continue on to take other roles every now and again, but in 2017 and 2018, his career as a voice actor truly began to pick up. Although he started out with a total of four roles from 2003 to 2016, he is credited with four roles in 2017 alone and began to provide voices for anime projects as well. Like his career as an anime voice actor, he has lent his voice to a number of well-known video games as well. Some of these roles include:
- Ryota from Wargroove, a turn-based tactical RPG released for the Nintendo Switch, PC, Xbox One, and the PlayStation 4.
- The Nightmarionne from Five Nights at Freddy’s: Help Wanted, an entry in the Five Nights at Freddy’s series that was originally released for VR, though a non-VR version was later released.
- Brendan from Pokemon Masters, a mobile game based on the Pokemon franchise.
- Akira Howard from Astral Chain, PlatinumGames’ most recent major release that was developed exclusively for the Nintendo Switch.
Anime Roles
Aleks’ career as a voice actor began nearly twenty years ago, though he has only started taking on roles for anime projects very recently. His first major anime role as an anime voice actor began with the character Alexis Deux from Record of Grancrest War, a series that began airing in 2018.
In 2019, Aleks performed voices for three other series. In the anime adaptation of The Rising of Shield Hero, he voiced both a knight named Ake and the Sword Hero, Ren Amaki. In JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Golden Wind, the fifth part of the series, he voices Mario Zucchero, a minor antagonist. Later that same year, he was cast to voice a character named Zenitsu Agatsuma from Kimetsu no Yaiba(Demon Slayer).
Presence on Social Media
Aleks Le has an official Twitter Account and he also runs a YouTube channel. On his YouTube channel, Aleks uploads videos about some of the voice acting projects that he or his friends are working on. These videos are often announcements or behind-the-scenes videos of characters that he has voiced or will be voicing in the near future and include anime series and video games like Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure, Astral Chain, and Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba. Aleks has also uploaded two highlight videos from his Twitch channel (which seems fairly inactive). In these videos, Aleks draws various characters from the Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba series while providing commentary. These drawings end up turning into rather humorous and interesting interpretations of the original characters.
