 In producing the English dub version of the series, Media Blasters chose Lex Lang as Sanosuke's voice actor.When writing Sanosuke's dialogue, Clark Cheng, the writer of the English dub script, noted that the character was smarter than he would have liked in the first few episodes, so Cheng tried slowly to change the character's dialogue to make Sanosuke seem less intelligent so he would be more similar to the equivalent in the Japanese version of the series.Born February 1860 in Nagano, Sanosuke is a former member of the Sekihō Army.
