The voice behind Dawn (Hikari in the Japanese language original) has broken her silence about coming back to the Pokemon anime after nine long years! Pokemon Journeys has seen Ash Ketchum reunite with a number of familiar fan favorites from his past, and it was recently announced that another one Ash’s old travelling buddies will be making their return to the anime soon. As part of an upcoming special arc later this month, Dawn will be returning to the anime as she and Ash will cross paths once again in Pokemon Journeys. Now her voice actor has chimed in on this return.
