The only Japanese actors of any stature in the U.S. that I'm familiar with are Watanabe Ken, who's obviously too old, Masi Oka, who doesn't look right for Tenma's role, and maybe Kaneshiro Takeshi. Kaneshiro may be a little too unknown in the West (which didn't stop Jay Chou), but he seems very good for the role.

Tenma's going to have by far the most screen time, so I don't think that that will fly. Now that you bring it up, Johann and Anna are going to be a challenge to cast as well.
