Kujira to Voice Boraqchin in Jaadugar: A Witch in Mongolia Anime
Jaadugar: A Witch in Mongolia anime adaptation has added a significant name to its voice cast with a newly released promotional video. According to Anime News Network, veteran voice actress Kujira will voice Boraqchin, the First Empress of Ögedei. The announcement states, "Kujira joins the cast in the role of Boraqchin, the First Empress of Ögedei."
As a prominent figure among Ögedei's wives, Boraqchin will be one of the central characters of the story. In Mongolian courts, khatuns were not merely wives but powerful figures actively involved in politics. Combining this historical backdrop with fantastical elements, Jaadugar—whose name means 'wizard'—places shamanism and supernatural powers at the center of the narrative. The production examines Mongol history, often told around male rulers, through a strong female character.
With her deep and impressive voice, Kujira is one of the most renowned female voice actresses in the anime world. She previously voiced memorable characters such as Balalaika in Black Lagoon and Dadan in One Piece. Combined with Boraqchin's title of 'first empress' and Kujira's previous authoritative female roles, we can expect a performance that brings both the power and depth of the character to the screen.
Although the new video offers hints about the series' atmosphere, the release date, studio, and platform for Jaadugar: A Witch in Mongolia have not yet been officially announced. Nonetheless, for fans of Mongol history, mythology, and the fantasy genre, this production already stands out as a noteworthy option. More cast announcements and a full promotional trailer are expected in the coming period.
