Trivia / Sket Dance

• Actor Allusion:
  • In the crossovers with Gintama, the Yorozuya and the Sket Dan made sure they were aware about who were their voice actors and their respective roles in each series. In the original manga version of the crossover, Gintoki and Switch realize they sound the same and proceed to call each other "Sugita" (this is absent in the anime, where both proceed to call each other as "onii-chan").
  • In the first episode, Switch mentions that his favorite Visored is Muguruma Kensei, who Tomokazu Sugita also voices. Later, in episode 31, Switch suggests (with a tone of voice similar to Gintoki) to use a very suspicious white and black outfit.
• All-Star Cast: For a 2010s anime's standards, the cast is full of people that are well known in the industry today. For starters, you have Hiroyuki Yoshino, Ryōko Shiraishi and Tomokazu Sugita as the main characters. And you can extend that with Tomokazu Seki, Yuu Kobayashi, Hiro Shimono, Fumiko Orikasa, Marina Inoue... and the large cast of regulars and one time characters like Kana Hanazawa, Nobuyuki Hiyama, Akira Ishida and Junko Minagawa.
• Casting Gag:
  • Himeko and Switch's computer voice could be seen as "extensions" from Hayate and Gintoki. The fourth wall do not survive.
  • Himeko is not Ryōko Shiraishi's first time as a legendary delinquent from Osaka. That honor would be Asuka.
• The Cast Showoff: Episode 71B of the anime has Dante fall into enka, allowing GACKT to show off his enka skills as Dante sings almost every single one of his lines.
• Celebrity Voice Actor: Visual Kei singer GACKT as Dante.
• The Danza: One-off character Tetsu is played by Tetsu Inada.
• Executive Meddling: This is why Cherry gets introduced into the series. Roman mentions that his creation was a request from the manga's then-editor to "allow some fanservice" (something that Shinohara often avoided) appear in the series. And, oh boy, the Sket Dan knows that something is going to go wrong when he (and his friends) appears.
• First Appearance: With the difference of exclusive characters in both one-shots, and the appearance of the Sket Dan (with minor design differences), Otakura and Yabasawa made their debuts in the first Akamaru Jump one shot, as well.
• The Other Darrin: There was a different cast used for the Drama CDs and VOMICs that got replaced when the anime was greenlit.
  • Tsubaki: Takahiro Sakurai
  • Mimorin: Atsuko Enomoto
  • Daisy: Aya Endo
  • Shinba: Kosuke Toriumi
  • Captain: Airi Sakuno
  • Dante: Takashi Kondo
  • Yabasawa: Hitomi Nabatame
  • Reiko: Yuu Kobayashi (Kobayashi would later go on to voice Daisy in the anime)
  • Roman: Ai Shimizu
  • Shinzo: Katsuyuki Konishi
  • Teppei: Soichiro Hoshi
  • Jogasaki: Kentarō Itō
  • Chuuma: Hayato Nakata
  • Yamanobe: Jun Konno
  • In the Latin American Spanish dub, the characters from Gintama has different voice actors from the ones from the respective dub of that show; this is partly for two reasons: Firstly, Gintoki's first voice actor, Jesús Barrero, died at 2016, being replaced in this show with Oscar Lopez instead, and finally, the dub of Gintama was done in Cuernavaca, while the one of Sket Dance is done in Mexico City, causing that the remaining characters, Shinpachi and Kagura, being replaced from Hugo Rodríguez and Marisol Castro respectively to Hector Mena and Elizabeth Infante instead.
