Danganronpa: Kill Thrill

Role Type: Lead

Character Type: Male | Age Range: 18–25 (sounding)

Description / Characteristics of This Role:

Theodore Adachi is the Ultimate Accountant, and the main protagonist of Danganronpa: Kill Thrill. Intelligent, smug, and sharp-tongued, Theodore masks his calculating nature behind a cool, professional exterior. Beneath the surface, however, lies a simmering resentment toward the world that wronged him. Once a government prodigy, he was imprisoned for orchestrating a massive fraud scheme. Theodore is deeply cynical, but not emotionless—he slowly develops bonds with his fellow inmates, even as he navigates life-or-death trials.

We’re looking for a voice that can confidently deliver biting sarcasm and icy logic, while still capturing Theodore’s rare moments of vulnerability. The role requires strong emotional range—he’s not a typical “edgelord,” but a man trying (and often failing) to stay in control.

Role Type: Major Supporting

Character Type: Female | Age Range: 18–25 (sounding)

Description / Characteristics of This Role:

Emiko Kono is the Ultimate Chess Player, a cold and highly analytical mind trapped in a game where logic isn’t always enough to survive. She’s calculated, strategic, and often dismissive of emotional displays—especially when they interfere with reason. Emiko rarely lets her guard down, but under her sharp exterior is a deeply human young woman grappling with trust, trauma, and a growing sense of responsibility.

This role demands nuance. Emiko isn’t emotionless—she’s disciplined. Her voice should carry a controlled cadence, with occasional flashes of biting annoyance or subtle warmth when her defenses slip. The right actor will be able to shift from deadpan analysis to tense confrontations and rare, heartfelt moments of quiet reflection. 

Voice Type / Direction:

• Mid to low female voice (or androgynous)
• Calm, deliberate, a little aloof
• Can deliver clipped, strategic lines with clarity
• Needs to emote through restraint—Emiko’s tension often lies in what she doesn’t say
• Should be able to show evolution over time (from isolated to emotionally aware)

Role Type: Major Supporting

Character Type: Male | Age Range: 18–25 (sounding)

Description / Characteristics of This Role:

Jin Zheng is the Ultimate Actor, a charming and theatrical presence who always seems to be performing—even when lives are on the line. At first glance, he’s suave, composed, and always camera-ready, but beneath the mask is someone far more perceptive and haunted than he lets on. Jin uses his charisma and talent to navigate the killing game like a stage play, but the cracks in his performance become harder to hide as the story unfolds.

We’re looking for a voice actor who can balance confidence with subtle cracks of vulnerability. Jin should sound smooth, expressive, and occasionally dramatic—but never cartoonish. He uses charm as a shield and performance as a weapon. His journey demands emotional versatility: from witty banter to soul-baring confessions.

Voice Type / Direction:

• Mid-to-high male voice with clear enunciation
• Expressive, theatrical, charismatic
• Able to portray both exaggerated performances and raw honesty
• Must balance flair with sincerity—he’s not a parody of an actor, but a young man hiding behind the role

Role Type: Major Supporting

Character Type: Female | Age Range: 18–25 (sounding)

Description / Characteristics of This Role:

Azumi Kawashima is the Ultimate Vigilante, a cold, driven, and brutally principled young woman who views justice not as an ideal—but as a duty. Trained by her father, a former U.S. Marine, Azumi is disciplined, emotionally restrained, and holds others to impossibly high standards. She despises most of her fellow inmates, viewing them as weak or morally compromised, with rare exceptions. Beneath the icy exterior, however, lies a deeply scarred soul desperate for meaning in a world that betrayed her.

This role demands a voice actress who can portray quiet authority, simmering rage, and the emotional unraveling of someone who slowly loses the people she lets in. Azumi doesn’t yell—her anger is sharp and focused, delivered through clenched teeth and a piercing tone. But when she breaks, her vulnerability should hit hard.

Voice Type / Direction:

• Low to mid-range female voice
• Controlled, sharp, emotionally distant
• Able to portray subtle contempt, discipline, and an eventual emotional breakdown
• Minimalist in delivery—Azumi uses few words, but every one of them matters
• Must express grief and emotional restraint in later chapters

Role Type: Major Supporting

Character Type: Male | Age Range: 18–25 (sounding), English accent preferred but not required.

Description / Characteristics of This Role:

Paxton Cruthers is the Ultimate Architect, a quiet and thoughtful presence with a mind built for structure, order, and precision. He often speaks in measured tones, rarely raising his voice, preferring logic over emotion. While he appears reserved, there’s a quiet intensity to everything he says—Paxton sees the world as a grand design, and he values purpose in everything and everyone.

He’s not cold, but he is difficult to read. Paxton’s lines often carry weight, and his calm demeanor hides the deep philosophical convictions that guide him. We’re seeking a voice actor who can convey quiet authority, intelligence, and underlying complexity. Paxton doesn’t waste words—he speaks with intention.

Voice Type / Direction:

• Mid to low-range male voice
• Controlled, deliberate, and articulate
• Should sound introspective and grounded
• Able to express subtle tension beneath the surface
• Capable of transitioning between thoughtful calm and quiet intensity

Role Type: Major Supporting

Character Type: Male | Age Range: 18–25 (sounding)

Description / Characteristics of This Role:

Benjamin Santiago is the Ultimate Detective, a quiet and brooding presence in the group—methodical, observant, and often lost in thought. He has a sharp mind and a sharper sense of justice, but there’s a heaviness in his voice that suggests he’s seen too much. Benjamin speaks when necessary and doesn’t waste words; when he does talk, his words tend to land with gravity. While he carries an air of mystery and distance, he’s not emotionless—he simply struggles to show how much he actually cares.

We’re looking for a voice actor who can balance cool intellect with quiet emotional weight. Benjamin is someone whose internal struggle simmers just beneath the surface. He must be able to shift from calm reasoning to moments of intense moral clarity, and eventually, rare but powerful vulnerability.

Voice Type / Direction:

• Low to mid-range male voice
• Soft-spoken but firm; emotionally restrained
• Capable of delivering internal monologues and subdued emotional moments
• Should convey quiet intensity, especially during confrontations
• Needs strong subtlety and nuance in delivery

Role Type: Major Supporting

Character Type: Female | Age Range: 18–25 (sounding)

Description / Characteristics of This Role:

Ingrid Solberg is the Ultimate Soccer Player, a bold, competitive, and fiercely loyal athlete with a fire in her voice and a heart on her sleeve. She’s the type to speak her mind, stand up for others, and charge headfirst into any challenge—physical or emotional. Ingrid doesn’t do anything halfway. Her energy is infectious, and her belief in teamwork and justice makes her one of the moral anchors of the group.

She’s not all pep and passion, though—Ingrid has her doubts and fears, and moments of softness that peek through when she’s alone or speaking to those she trusts. We’re looking for a voice actor who can handle that duality: someone who can deliver explosive energy one moment, and heartfelt sincerity the next.

Voice Type / Direction:

• Mid to high-range female voice
• Energetic, passionate, and grounded
• Able to deliver fiery speeches, emotional sincerity, and casual camaraderie
• Think: a team captain who can hype the group up and give a gut-wrenching locker room monologue

Role Type: Major Supporting

Character Type: Female | Age Range: 18–25 (sounding)

Description / Characteristics of This Role:

Astrid Solberg is the Ultimate Cheerleader, and on the surface, she fits the role: bubbly, upbeat, and always ready with a smile or a word of encouragement. But behind the practiced positivity is someone struggling with insecurity, doubt, and a deep sense of inadequacy—especially in comparison to her twin sister, Ingrid. Astrid uses her cheerfulness as a mask, hiding the fact that she doesn’t always believe the words she’s shouting.

We’re looking for a voice actress who can portray both sides of Astrid: the bright, enthusiastic team player and the fragile, self-doubting girl underneath. Her voice should be expressive and energetic on the surface, but able to drop into moments of quiet introspection, where the cracks start to show.

Voice Type / Direction:

• Mid to high-range female voice
• Peppy and expressive, but with the ability to sound tired, wistful, or quietly anxious
• Should convey a sense of someone trying a little too hard to be the sunshine
• Must handle the tonal shift between performance and vulnerability with nuance

Role Type: Supporting

Character Type: Male | Age Range: 18–25 (sounding) Italian accent preferred but not required.

Description / Characteristics of This Role:

Lorenzo Ricci is the Ultimate Cyclist, and he knows it. Loud, bombastic, and fiercely proud of his Italian heritage, Lorenzo barrels through conversations like he’s racing downhill with no brakes. He constantly boasts about his achievements, looks down on others he deems beneath him, and has a habit of running his mouth without thinking. He’s a jerk—but a very entertaining one.

This role calls for a voice actor with big energy, a bold presence, and the ability to chew scenery without going fully cartoonish. Lorenzo isn’t subtle—he’s all fire and ego—but he should still feel real. His arrogance is a shield for insecurity, though he’d never admit it.

Voice Type / Direction:

• Mid to high-range male voice
• Loud, energetic, and overconfident
• Must be able to deliver bombastic lines with passion and flair
• Italian accent is a bonus but not required—what matters is conveying pride and bravado
• Needs some emotional depth beneath the bluster (just a hint)

Role Type: Major Supporting

Character Type: Male | Age Range: 18–25 (sounding)

Description / Characteristics of This Role:

Daniel O’Heir is the Ultimate Filmographer, an enthusiastic and expressive creative with a camera always slung around his shoulder and a thousand story ideas in his head. He’s a bit of a dork—in the most lovable way—always talking about “the perfect shot” or imagining life like it’s unfolding in a movie. Friendly, excitable, and slightly awkward, Daniel brings much-needed levity to the group… though behind his lens, he’s more observant than people realize.

We’re looking for a voice actor who can channel genuine warmth, energy, and boyish optimism. Daniel should sound like someone who sees the good in people and tries to document beauty even in the darkest of places. His voice should be vibrant, but with the potential to carry emotion when the mask slips and his insecurities shine through.

Role Type: Major Supporting

Character Type: Male | Age Range: 18–25 (sounding), Australian Accent preferred, but not required.

Description / Characteristics of This Role:

Ryder Stewart is the Ultimate Fisherman, a calm, cool, and casually flirtatious presence who always seems to be in control—at least on the surface. With a slow smile and a smooth voice, he’s the kind of guy who tells tall tales with just enough truth to make you wonder. Ryder’s charming and playful, but underneath the charisma is someone far more thoughtful and emotionally guarded than he lets on.

We’re looking for a voice actor who can balance laid-back charm with a hint of mystery. Ryder should sound relaxed and easygoing, but the best performances will bring a sense of quiet tension beneath the surface. He’s a man with stories to tell… but never all at once.

Voice Type / Direction:

• Mid to low-range male voice
• Smooth, casual, and subtly flirtatious
• Can deliver both banter and more grounded, emotional moments
• Feels like a “storyteller” type with a reflective streak
• Should convey confidence with just a trace of guarded vulnerability

Role Type: Major Supporting

Character Type: Female | Age Range: 18–25 (sounding). French accent preferred but not required.

Description / Characteristics of This Role:

Camille Moreau is the Ultimate Mortician, a quiet, composed, and deeply grounded young woman who has made peace with death in ways most people never do. She approaches life—and loss—with a clinical calmness, a touch of dark humor, and surprising emotional intelligence. Camille often acts as a stabilizing force in tense moments, unafraid to speak uncomfortable truths with poise and precision.

Though she may seem morbid, Camille isn’t cold. She feels deeply, but expresses it with subtlety and grace. We’re looking for a voice actress who can capture her low-energy, introspective presence while still delivering occasional moments of warmth, irony, or quiet empathy.

Voice Type / Direction:

• Low to mid-range female voice
• Calm, smooth, and emotionally contained
• Slightly dry or deadpan tone with the ability to lean into dark humor
• Must balance clinical delivery with understated compassion
• Should sound like someone who’s seen it all—but still cares

Role Type: Supporting

Character Type: Female | Age Range: 18–25 (sounding)

Accent: Light Eastern European or Russian accent preferred (gentle and natural), but not required

Description / Characteristics of This Role:

Anastasia Magomedov is the Ultimate Ballerina, a soft-spoken and graceful young woman who radiates quiet kindness. Though she carries herself with the poise of a world-class performer, Anastasia is humble, gentle, and surprisingly warm once you get past her reserved demeanor. She often speaks with a sweet sincerity and a love for beauty and emotion, expressing her thoughts like she’s painting with words.

Anastasia is the kind of person who offers a comforting presence in difficult times. We’re looking for a voice actress who can convey tenderness, warmth, and vulnerability, while still holding a sense of quiet elegance. A light Eastern European accent is welcome but not required, as long as the tone captures her delicate and sincere nature.

Voice Type / Direction:

• Mid to high-range female voice
• Soft, gentle, with a natural sweetness and calm tone
• Should sound kind, thoughtful, and a bit shy or reserved
• Able to express both emotional softness and quiet determination
• Bonus if you can deliver poetic or dreamy dialogue with sincerity

Role Type: Major Supporting

Character Type: Female | Age Range: 18–25 (sounding)

Description / Characteristics of This Role:

June Newman is the Ultimate Farmer, a warm, grounded, and dependable presence among the cast. With her Southern charm, strong work ethic, and deep connection to the land, June feels like someone you could trust with your life—or at least a home-cooked meal and heartfelt advice. She’s friendly and approachable, often using humor and kindness to defuse tension, but don’t mistake her gentleness for weakness—June is resilient, sharp, and fiercely protective of the people she cares about.

We’re looking for a voice actress who can bring a sense of sincerity, humility, and quiet strength to the role. June should sound like someone who’s spent more time outdoors than online—a practical, no-nonsense girl with a big heart and a strong moral compass. A natural or subtle Southern accent is ideal, but not required.

Voice Type / Direction:

• Mid to low-range female voice
• Friendly, kind, and emotionally sincere
• Optional but preferred: Light Southern or rural American accent (natural, not exaggerated)
• Can handle moments of warmth, determination, and emotional honesty
• Should feel approachable—someone who puts others at ease, but stands her ground when pushed

Role Type: Major Supporting

Character Type: Female | Age Range: 18–25 (sounding)

Description / Characteristics of This Role:

Setsuna Togashi is the Ultimate Unlucky Student, a girl with the worst luck imaginable and a strangely positive attitude in spite of it. She’s clumsy, awkward, and constantly caught in misfortune, yet she faces each day with surprising resilience, sarcasm, and a healthy dose of self-awareness. Whether it’s a falling bookshelf or a blown fuse, disaster seems to follow her like a shadow—but she never lets it fully break her spirit.

We’re looking for a voice actress who can balance dry humor with emotional vulnerability. Setsuna should sound like someone who’s been through a lot, but learned to laugh through the pain. She’s witty and tough, but when things get too heavy, you should be able to hear the cracks in her voice. Her charm lies in her perseverance—and how she hides fear behind humor.

Voice Type / Direction:

• Mid-range female voice
• Slightly tired, sarcastic, but emotionally expressive
• Can switch between comedic deadpan and heartfelt sincerity
• Should sound like someone who expects the worst but still hopes for the best
• Optional: a slight rasp or weariness in tone adds flavor

Role Type: Major Supporting

Character Type: Male | Age Range: 18–25 (sounding)

Description / Characteristics of This Role:

Maximillian St. Pierre is the Ultimate Rapper—confident, stylish, and never without a clever word or cutting rhyme. Max is the kind of person who owns every room he walks into, overflowing with swagger, charisma, and a sharp tongue. He’s quick to crack a joke or spit a freestyle, but beneath the bravado is someone who’s used to fighting to be heard—and hiding his pain behind rhythm and rhyme.

We’re looking for a voice actor who can bring natural flow, energy, and attitude to the role without making Max a caricature. He should sound cool and unshakable, but also capable of showing real emotion when his walls start to crack. A background in rap, hip-hop, or spoken word is a big plus—but not required.

Voice Type / Direction:

• Mid to low-range male voice
• Smooth, confident, and rhythmically aware
• Must be able to shift between cocky energy, genuine frustration, and quiet reflection
• Bonus if you can freestyle or perform lines in rhythm—but raw attitude is more important than technical rap skills
• Should sound real—cool, but with emotional weight beneath the surface

Role Type: Major Supporting

Character Type: Male | Age Range: 30–50 (sounding)

Description / Characteristics of This Role:

Brandt Holloway is the Head of Security at the Aurora Rehabilitation Institute—a former military man with a rigid sense of duty and a zero-tolerance policy for nonsense. Quiet and commanding, Holloway doesn’t speak unless he has something to say, and when he does, people listen. He’s protective of the facility, fiercely loyal to the chain of command, and suspicious of anything—or anyone—that threatens order.

We’re looking for a voice actor who can portray a grizzled authority figure with underlying tension. Holloway doesn’t raise his voice to intimidate—he controls the room through calm, forceful presence. He’s stoic, experienced, and not easily rattled, but there should be a slow-burn intensity behind everything he says. Think “military vet meets prison warden” with a conscience under the armor.

Voice Type / Direction:

• Low to mid-low male voice
• Calm, authoritative, and grounded
• Should sound like someone with battlefield or law enforcement experience
• Needs to convey subtle emotion beneath stoicism—frustration, suspicion, or concern without sounding theatrical
• Optional: slight gruffness, weariness, or vocal gravel is a bonus

Role Type: Major Supporting

Character Type: Female | Age Range: 30–50 (sounding)

Description / Characteristics of This Role:

Dr. Mira Solberg is the Head of Psychiatry at the Aurora Rehabilitation Institute. Intelligent, empathetic, and composed, she carries herself with the poise of someone trained to read every microexpression and defuse conflict with a single sentence. Her voice is calm and reassuring, but always with an undercurrent of vigilance—she’s constantly evaluating those around her, even when smiling.

Dr. Solberg genuinely believes in rehabilitation, but as the stability of the facility begins to crack, she struggles to maintain her own. We’re looking for a voice actress who can portray warmth and professionalism, but also the slow erosion of certainty. She’s not cold—if anything, she feels too much and tries too hard to remain detached.

Voice Type / Direction:

• Mid to low-range female voice
• Calm, measured, emotionally intelligent
• Should sound like a therapist or academic—professional but approachable
• Capable of expressing deep concern, subtle tension, and quiet internal conflict
• Should balance empathy with a sense of authority

Role Type: Major Supporting

Character Type: Female | Age Range: 30–45 (sounding)

Description / Characteristics of This Role:

Dr. Mariah Quinn is a lead medical researcher and resident physician at the Aurora Rehabilitation Institute. Blunt, brilliant, and efficient to a fault, she’s not here to hold hands—she’s here to get results. With a dry wit and a no-nonsense tone, Dr. Quinn often comes off as abrasive, but beneath her curt exterior lies someone deeply committed to saving lives… even if her bedside manner leaves something to be desired.

She’s the type to cut through emotional nonsense with clinical precision and a raised eyebrow, but her frustration with the deteriorating situation grows over time. We’re looking for a voice actress who can portray intellect, sarcasm, and quiet emotional strain under pressure. Think “stern doctor who secretly cares more than she lets on.”

Voice Type / Direction:

• Mid to low-range female voice
• Dry, intelligent, and slightly sardonic
• Must balance sharp wit with controlled emotion—her warmth is rare, but it’s real
• Should sound like a seasoned professional who’s tired of being the smartest person in the room
• Ability to express frustration, subtle concern, and moral fatigue without sounding melodramatic

Role Type: Major Supporting

Character Type: Female | Age Range: 30–50 (sounding)

Description / Characteristics of This Role:

Evelyn Graft is the Head Nurse at the Aurora Rehabilitation Institute—a steady, compassionate figure responsible for monitoring the physical health of the inmates and staff. She’s practical, nurturing, and quietly strong, often stepping in as a voice of reason when tensions rise. Evelyn sees the human side of everyone, no matter their past, and she carries the emotional burden of watching those in her care suffer far more than she lets on.

We’re looking for a voice actress who can bring warmth, experience, and emotional depth to the role. Evelyn should sound maternal but not meek—she’s been through enough to stay calm in a crisis, and when she raises her voice, it means something. Her kindness is a strength, not a weakness.

Voice Type / Direction:

• Mid to low-range female voice
• Warm, firm, and emotionally grounded
• Should convey empathy, quiet strength, and subtle exhaustion
• Able to deliver both gentle bedside comfort and stern authority
• Should feel like someone who’s held too many hands and cleaned up too many messes—but keeps going anyway

Role Type: Major Supporting

Character Type: Male | Age Range: 25–40 (sounding)

Description / Characteristics of This Role:

Tomas Leclerc—nicknamed “Twitch” by the staff—is the Systems Engineer for the Aurora Rehabilitation Institute. Brilliant but eccentric, Twitch is the kind of tech genius who spends more time talking to his hardware than to people. He’s twitchy, fast-talking, and occasionally awkward, but his mind runs faster than the systems he maintains. Equal parts comic relief and conspiracy theorist, he often notices things others overlook—and that makes him more important than he seems.

We’re looking for a voice actor who can bring high-energy neuroticism to the role without making him feel like a joke. Twitch is funny, yes—but there’s a growing paranoia beneath the surface. He knows something is wrong, and while people may not take him seriously at first, his frantic observations are often more accurate than anyone realizes.

Voice Type / Direction:

• Mid to high-range male voice
• Quick, energetic, and slightly jittery
• Should balance humor with subtle anxiety or paranoia
• Capable of rapid-fire delivery, nervous rambling, and occasional sharp insight
• Should sound like someone always two steps ahead… and one breath away from a breakdown

Role Type: Support Staff (Behind-the-Scenes)

Description of This Role:

We are seeking a talented and stylistically flexible animator to create execution sequences for our Danganronpa fan game, Danganronpa: Kill Thrill. This role involves designing and animating stylized, emotionally impactful punishment scenes that match the visual tone, pacing, and surreal horror of the Danganronpa series.

You’ll be responsible for turning script concepts and storyboards into polished animated sequences (2D or 3D, depending on your strengths). These scenes are key visual and narrative moments in the game and must balance thematic meaning, symbolic imagery, and unsettling flair.

Responsibilities:

• Collaborate with the writing and design team to conceptualize execution scenes
• Animate execution sequences from storyboard to final render (2D or 3D accepted)
• Incorporate visual storytelling, symbolic design, and thematic relevance in each scene
• Match the style and surreal tone of Danganronpa punishments (V3 and DR2 references encouraged)
• Handle sound sync and timing (sound design support can be provided)

Requirements:

• Strong animation skills (2D or 3D) with an understanding of horror/surreal visual storytelling

• Must be comfortable animating graphic, symbolic, or emotionally intense content

Role Type:Antagonist

Character Type: Female | Age Range: 30–45 (sounding)

Description / Characteristics of This Role:

Dr. Abigail Warner is the clinical director of the Aurora Rehabilitation Institute and one of the central antagonistic forces in Danganronpa Kill Thrill. Calm, articulate, and unnervingly composed, Warner presents herself as a dedicated reformist, someone who believes deeply in structure, accountability, and the idea that anyone can be fixed under the right conditions. In practice, she is a master manipulator who uses psychology as both a scalpel and a weapon.

Warner speaks with measured confidence and surgical precision. She rarely raises her voice. Instead, she dissects people through pointed questions, subtle pressure, and unsettling insights that cut far deeper than anger ever could. She is fascinated by her patients, not out of compassion, but out of control, viewing them as case studies rather than people. Beneath her professionalism lies something colder, a belief that order must be enforced, no matter the human cost.

We’re looking for a voice that can sound warm, intelligent, and reassuring on the surface while carrying an undercurrent of menace. This role requires strong restraint and nuance. Threats are implied, not shouted. The actor should be comfortable delivering long, dialogue heavy scenes, particularly interrogation style conversations that rely on tension, pacing, and psychological dominance rather than overt villainy.
