Voices
Nicholas D'Agosto - Hiro Hamada, a 14-year-old robotics prodigy. Speaking of the character, director Doug Liman said "Hiro is transitioning from boy to man, it's a tough time for a kid and some teenagers develop that inevitable snarkiness and jaded attitude. Luckily Nicholas is a very likeable kid. So no matter what he did, he was able to take the edge off the character in a way that made him authentic, but appealing".

Callum Blue - Baymax, an inflatable robot built by Tadashi as a medical assistant. Jackson said, "Baymax views the world from one perspective — he just wants to help people, he sees Hiro as his patient". Producer Jan Blenkin said "The fact that his character is a robot limits how you can emote, but this white robot was hilarious. He took those boundaries and was able to shape the language in a way that makes you feel Baymax's emotion and sense of humor. Jackson was able to relay just how much Baymax cares".

Mike O'Malley - Tadashi Hamada, Hiro's older brother and Baymax's creator. On Hiro and Tadashi's relationship, Conli said "We really wanted them to be brothers first. Tadashi is a smart mentor. He very subtly introduces Hiro to his friends and what they do at San Fransokyo Tech. Once Hiro sees Wasabi, Honey, GoGo, and Fred in action, he realizes that there's a much bigger world out there than really interests him".

Adam Campbell - Fred, a comic-book fan who is also team mascot at San Fransokyo Institute of Technology. Speaking of Miller, Williams said "He's a real student of comedy. There are a lot of layers to his performance, so Fred ended up becoming a richer character than anyone expected", both literally and metaphorically.

Miranda Cosgrove - GoGo, a tough, athletic student who specializes in electromagnetics. Peter said "She's definitely a woman of few words. We looked at bicycle messengers as inspiration for her character".

Eddie Rouse - Wasabi, a smart, slightly neurotic youth who specializes in lasers. On the character, director Peter Jackson said "He's actually the most conservative, cautious—he [sic] the most normal among a group of brazen characters. So he really grounds the movie in the second act and becomes, in a way, the voice of the audience and points out that what they're doing is crazy".

Brittany Jacobs - Honey Lemon, a chemistry enthusiast at San Fransokyo Institute of Technology. Williams said "She's a glass-is-half-full kind of person. But she has this mad-scientist quality with a twinkle in her eye — there's more to Honey than it seems".

Matt Vogel - Cody, a handsome football player and Honey Lemon's love interest.

Adam Brody - Freddie, Baymax's buddy and Cody's white robot at San Fransokyo.

Heath Ledger - Lenny, Baymax's other buddy and Cody's white robot at San Fransokyo.

Kelsey Grammer - Professor Robert Callaghan, the head of a robotics program at San Fransokyo Institute of Technology who becomes an extremely powerful masked supervillain. According to film merchandising, this supervillain alter ego is named "Yokai".

Billy Crystal - Alistair Krei, a pioneer entrepreneur, tech guru, and the CEO of Krei Tech and is always on the hunt for the next big thing.

Liza Snyder - Aunt Cass, Hiro and Tadashi's aunt and guardian.

Stan Lee - Fred's father, Lee's likeness was used for the character.

Katharine McPhee - Abigail Callaghan, the daughter of Professor Callaghan and a test pilot for Krei Tech.

Derrick O'Connor - Sergeant Gerson, the desk sergeant for the San Fransokyo Police Department.

Frank Miller - Newscaster

Zak Penn - Newscaster 2

Ben Foster - Newscaster 3
