Latest Updates

  • First Wave of Casting

    Hello everybody! It is my pleasure to announce that I have completed the first round of casting! I was so excited to see this project so well-received and with so many auditions! Know that I listened to every audition carefully before making my decisions. These roles are set as long as the assigned voice actors accept them.

    I hope to meet with each of you over the next week and schedule some time to do a group meeting/table read over Discord. I will be reaching out to everyone involved in the project, but if you don't hear from me, please reach out! This project is keeping me very busy across the board, as I had hoped!

    Congratulations to those who were cast! To those who weren't, feel free to message me if you feel like another role that you didn't audition for might be a better fit.

Role assigned to: justzac

A tree spirit that is angered with Kintaro for chopping down so many trees with his axe.  Furious, force of nature, ethereal. 

  • You have been cutting down and uprooting my children. As a boy of this mountain whose mother is a witch, you should know better! Your crimes will not go unpunished, boy.

  • Sorry is not enough. You will atone. Every piece of wood you will answer for. Every chop of the axe, and every root pulled! The screams of the trees will not go unheard!

  • You are strong, boy. Do not think that means you can defy nature. Protect the plants as well as the animals, and the spirits will be at peace. I can rest for now, but do not forget your promise.

  • I am Raiko. I serve Michitaka, Lord of the Fujiwara clan. I came here hunting down bandits, but I was taken aback when I witnessed your strength.

A strong and ogre-like devil with horns. Brutish, primal, thug.

Role assigned to: Daryle's Destinies

Oni-leader and demon king of Mount Oe. Although empowered by alcohol, he is much sharper and more powerful than his fellow Oni underlings. He and his gang terrorize innocents and take joy in the suffering of humans. 

  • Divine sake? You there, open up the gate and let them in at once!

  • You see, Lady Fujiwara? This is why I am King and why your puny Emperor is nothing but a wanna-be. Your offering is well received, monk.

A giant, bizarre, monstrous spider that hides in caves. 

  • Who dares disturb my caves? Who trespasses in the lair of the dreaded Earth Spider?

  • You will never reach Raijin, little Kintaro, because you are never going to leave this cave. You will be ensnared in my web and in my lullaby, and with my poison, you will slowly die.

  • It… cannot be? What kind of man can defeat a giant in its own home?

Raijin

A devilish god of storms with red skin and horns.  Raijin plays his drums to cause the thunder.  Raijn may be Kintaro's father, but he is ambivalent to Kintaro himself. He sends storms that ravage Mount Ashigara, Kintaro, and Yama Uba's home.  Boisterous, loud, powerful, and proud, with a bit of a sense of humor.

  • Who is this foolish red warrior who thinks he can defy a god?

  • Impertinent child! Who do you think you owe for your strength? Rough seas make strong sailors, after all.

  • You are a fool, boy, and you always have been. That is why I have cursed the skies above Ashigara. And you are still a fool if you think you can defeat me.
