The staff of the long-running Crayon Shin Chan anime announced on Thursday that Junpei Morita has been cast in the role of Enchou-sensei. The late Rokuro Naya previously played the role until he passed away last November.

Morita voiced roles in such anime as Black Jack 21 (Doctor White), Cybuster (Ryuzo), and the upcoming Harmony anime film. He has also voiced roles in video games, tokusatsu series, and Japanese dubs of Western television series. He has acted in many films, live-action dramas, and stage productions.

TV Asahi has been airing the Crayon Shin Chan anime based on Yoshito Usui's manga of the same name since 1992. The show is consistently one of the most watched anime series in Japan.
