Scheduled to premiere in the summer 2020 anime season, the Crunchyroll co-production of The God of High School has released a brand new English subtitled promotional video that reveals a ton of new information including additional cast and crew!
Starting with the voices that are bringing these characters to life, the cast reads as follows (character names first):

Originally appearing on WEBTOONS, The God of High School was created by Yongje Park in 2011 and has reached 459 “episodes” though it only has one collected volume in print as of November 2019. The official site describes the story as:
It all began as a fighting tournament to seek out for the best fighter among all high school students in Korea. Mori Jin, a Taekwondo specialist and a high school student, soon learns that there is something much greater beneath the stage of the tournament.
This promotional video did a great job of highlighting the blood-pumping action that we’re going to get from this series. While perhaps the product placement in the promotional video was worthy of a small eye-roll, the overall product looks excellent and I’m pretty excited to check this one out once it premieres this summer!
