Mike Haimoto

Michael Joseph Rudd (born December 7, 1987), better known by his stage name Michael Hiroshi Haimoto, is an Asian-American voice actor who has done work for Sentai Filmworks, FUNimation Entertainment/Crunchyroll, and Sound Cadence Studios.

On February 13, 2023, it was reported that voice actress Avery Smithhart had accused Haimoto of domestic abuse, sexual assault and using ableist language towards her as Smithart is autistic. Due to this, it is likely that he will be recast in Vinland Saga, Vermeil in Gold, and other roles, and subsequently, his role in Record of Ragnorak as Soji Okita was replaced by Alejandro Saab and eventually, along with Anthony DiMascio, would be removed from any Funimation/Crunchyroll, Sentai Filmworks, and Sound Cadence Studios productions as voice actor and voice director. As a result, the Crunchyroll dub of Vinland Saga have been stalled due to this incident.
