James

James is a supporting character in Capcom’s sci-fi action-adventure Pragmata, released on April 17, 2026 for PS5, PC, Xbox Series X/S, and Nintendo Switch 2. Set aboard a hostile lunar research station overrun by a rogue AI called IDUS, the game follows spacefarer Hugh Williams and android companion Diana as they fight to survive and return to Earth. James exists within this world as part of Hugh’s broader team of Rangers sent to investigate the facility after it lost contact, adding depth to the human side of the story.

As a member of the lunar station crew, James represents the kind of grounded, mission-driven soldier archetype that Capcom often builds into its ensemble casts. His role gives players context around Hugh’s situation before everything goes wrong, and his presence sharpens the sense of loss and isolation that sits at the heart of Pragmata‘s narrative. The game leans hard into the tension between human vulnerability and mechanical threat, and side characters like James are what make Hugh feel like a real person with real stakes.

English Voice: Eric Meyers

James is voiced in English by Eric Meyers, an American voice actor and narrator based in London. Meyers built his career across documentary narration, animation, and video games, with credits including RoboCop: Rogue City, Terminator: Dark Fate: Defiance, Foamstars, Wakfu, and the animated series 7 Bears. He also appeared in major films opposite Tom Hanks and Ryan Reynolds, and narrated episodes of NOVA on PBS along with I Shouldn’t Be Alive. His voice carries a grounded authority that suits a character like James, a ranger operating in a pressure-filled military context.

Japanese Voice: Makoto Tamura

The Japanese voice of James belongs to Makoto Tamura, a veteran stage-trained actor who transitioned into anime and dubbing. Tamura is widely recognized in Japan for voicing King in One Piece, a role he landed without auditioning and which became a career-defining turn. He also dubbed T’Challa/Black Panther in the Japanese version of the Marvel films, including Avengers: Endgame and What If…?, working meticulously to match Chadwick Boseman’s presence and rhythm. His rich theatrical background gives James a weight and intensity that matches the game’s serious sci-fi tone.
