KATEKYOUSHI HITMAN REBORN! MANGA DUB
Summary
Tsunayoshi Sawada is a 14 year old middle school student with a reputation of being ‘Loser Tsuna’. His grades are embarrassingly low, his athleticism is nonexistent, and his confidence is so low that he’s intimidated by a chihuahua. His ordinary life is suddenly upended when a baby named Reborn arrives claiming himself to be a hitman and his new home tutor. Tsuna is the chosen 10th boss of the largest mafia family in the world, the Vongola, and it’s Reborn’s job to a respectable and strong mafioso.
Introduction
I've been wanting to do this project for a long time as Katekyoushi Hitman REBORN! is my all time favorite manga. However, while well known in Japan it doesn't seem to have much presence here in the west. Not many seem to know or at least have heard of it before. It had an anime that never got dubbed and while I'd like to dub it, it doesn't hold up due to animation and censorship and also ends before the last two arcs of the manga. For a while I've wanted KHR! to get more love, whether it be through a anime reboot similar to HunterxHunter or a continuation/sequel of the manga. Hopes were high when the author, Amano Akira's, most recent series elDLIVE was promoted with a video that included new animation for KHR! Unfortunately, since then there's been no more news about it. TL:DR I want give my favorite series the love I feel it deserves by producing an English dub of the manga!

Hibari is the head of Namimori Middle School’s Disciplinary Committee and takes that role very seriously. Whenever the peace at Namimori is disturbed he’ll personally deal out punishment with his tonfa. Hibari is cold and couldn’t care less about other people. Many would describe him as a beast, scary, fierce and only interested in his own satisfaction. Though he does have a soft spot for small animals. Hibari is confident in his own abilities and prefers to be alone, getting irritated and ready to beat others who start to crowd around him. He doesn’t take orders or suggestions easily, if at all, from anyone as he despises the feeling of being bound or restrained. He also doesn’t like feeling indebted to someone and will repay his debts as soon as possible.
Vocal Direction: medium to mid-low range; Hibari never raises his voice, he always speaks calmly but with a hint of his mood coming through whether it be threatening, irritated, or amused
Vocal Reference (not looking for an imitation but that range and feel): Johnny Yong Bosch as Lelouch, Giyu, and Izaya
(Stern/Threatening; Tsuna and co. walk into the reception room unaware Hibari is there, agitating him)
I’ll ask you to put out your cigarette in the presence of the Disciplinary Committee president. Not that I’d let you leave unscathed if you complied.
(Amused/Intimidating; Hibari is attacking Yamamoto who's managing to dodge until Hibari reads his movements)
Are you injured? You’re very protective of your right arm.
(Cold/Irritated; Tsuna managed to land a hit on Hibari by surprise)
You… Can I kill you?
(Threatening; Hibari's signature phrase)
I'll bite you to death!
