BLUE LOCK Season 2 announced Mamoru Miyano as the voice behind Michael Kaiser after the double-episode finale finished airing in Japan. The finale briefly showed Kaiser at the end of the episode, with the BLUE LOCK project now headed into the Neo Egoist League Arc. No information about a sequel anime was revealed.
The player is also featured on the cover of the manga’s Volume 19.
Some of Mamoru Miyano’s notable roles include Light Yagami in Death Note, Rintaro Okabe in Steins;Gate, Chrollo Lucilfer in Hunter x Hunter (2011), Osamu Dazai in Bungo Stray Dogs, Death the Kid in Soul Eater, among many others.

What Will Happen Next in BLUE LOCK?
The second season focused on the BLUE LOCK vs U-20 Japan match, while the story then goes on to the Neo Egoist League Arc. It will have the players choose one of the top 5 leagues to go and train with the best players in the world in an even more competitive setting.
It begins in Volume 18 of the manga, for which Kodansha describes the story:
Isagi and Blue Lock have defeated the U-20 team and stolen the right to represent Japan themselves. While the players take a well-earned break, Jinpachi Ego starts to devise the next phase of his project. It’s not long before the players have to put their futures on the line once more, and this time it’s in front of some incredible men… Blue Lock: Phase Two begins now as the egotists take the field!!
