These characters are apart of the project film i am working on called Sentenced To Fall: A Bet That Broke Walls!
It's a mix of everything within the film.
There's emotional depth, bittersweet moments, hints of romance, drama, and growth. It's a big ol' mix and definitely something I plan to bring to light, creating a bigger picture for every single character within this film into a mini series in the future. SO that being said, stay tuned for the updates on that part as well! My team and I are excited to be working with you! Please take the time to get to know our characters, and what you might think you can bring to the table for this wonderful film.
Hello everyone! For those who auditioned for Akihiko, thank you plenty! SO much talent guys, keep'em coming guys! My casting team and I will be getting together soon to give these all a proper listen. Date still stands! June 16th!(: ~ Mae Mae
Akihiko Nakamura is the kind of guy who walks into chaos smiling like he caused it on purpose. Reckless, sharp-tongued, and impossible to embarrass, he treats danger like a joke and rules like suggestions. He’s known around school for skipping class, showing up late, getting into fights, and somehow still charming almost everyone around him. Beneath the cocky attitude, though, Akihiko is fiercely loyal and far more observant than he lets on. He hides grief behind humor, always keeping conversations light before they can get too personal.
After a fatal motorcycle accident killed both of his parents, Akihiko was taken in by Mr. Takeda, who had once ridden in a bike gang with them during their youth. Mr. Takeda became less of a guardian and more of an exhausted older brother figure, constantly dealing with Akihiko’s reckless behavior while secretly caring deeply for him. Akihiko respects him more than anyone, even if he rarely shows it seriously.
Akihiko grew up around stories of engines, street races, and freedom, which explains his obsession with motorcycles and adrenaline. He acts fearless because slowing down means thinking too hard about what he lost. Despite his delinquent image, he’s surprisingly protective of his friends and hates seeing people lonely or cornered.
Voice: Akihiko’s voice should sound smooth, playful, and naturally confident. Slightly rough around the edges like someone who laughs a lot and sleeps too little. He talks casually, often with teasing sarcasm, but can instantly become calm and intimidating when serious. Even when joking, there’s a faint tiredness underneath his voice that hints he’s carrying more emotional weight than he admits. Think effortless charm mixed with “problem child” energy.
To pronounce Kazuki's name for the third line is KAH-ZU-KI
To pronounce Mr. Takeda - Tah-Kay-Duh(:
Line 1 Voice Direction: Cocky and relaxed. Talks like he’s already the coolest guy in the room without trying. Slight rasp in the voice, playful edge underneath the sarcasm. Confident pacing, never rushed.
Line 2 Voice Direction: Casual with hidden warmth buried under the humor. Starts teasing and smug, but softens just slightly near the end before covering it back up with attitude.
Line 3 Voice Direction: Fast-talking, amused, teasing everybody equally like this is a comedy routine he's perfected over years.
"Akihiko Nakamura. Yeah, the rumors are mostly true. I skip class, climb things I probably shouldn’t, and somehow Mr. Takeda still lets me live in his house. Honestly? I think he’s just too tired to stop me anymore."
"Mr. Takeda took me in after my parents died. He acts all tough and annoying, but the guy still waits up when I’m late. Don’t tell him I said that though—he’d start acting emotional and I’d have to move out."
"Our group’s a disaster, by the way. Kazuki’s got the face of a celebrity, the grades of a model student, and the personality of expired milk.. sour. Total waste of talent. Ryu’s loud enough to start natural disasters. Takashi’s rich but acts like he clips coupons for fun, it’s honestly insulting. And Kaito? Too polite. I’m one bad day away from throwing that guy into traffic just so he finally says a swear word."
I have three musician on board, our team wants to add more to help get things going for our singers! We have four singers, and only one song is being worked on at the moment.

*Say something you think would fit*
A quiet, awkward salaryman in his late 40s who always looks slightly confused by his own life. He speaks carefully, pauses too long before answering questions, and constantly feels like he’s “doing parenting wrong” even though Ryu absolutely adores him. He never expected to be a father, let alone raise a son as loud, affectionate, and emotionally fearless as Ryu. He loves listening to Ryu talk, even when he doesn’t understand half of what he’s saying. Secretly sentimental. Gets emotional over graduation photos.
Voice Direction: Soft-spoken, hesitant, emotionally sincere. Sounds like a man constantly buffering before speaking. Accidental humor. Voice should feel grounded and realistic.
“Ryu… your graduation suit is louder than traffic. But… you look happy in it, so I suppose that’s what matters.”
“Your mother and I genuinely thought you’d grow out of talking this much. We were… very incorrect.”
“I don’t always know how to react to you, son. But I’ve never once regretted having you.”
Gentle, anxious, and unintentionally awkward. She overthinks every parenting decision and still acts surprised when Ryu hugs her. Unlike Ryu’s explosive social energy, she’s extremely reserved and polite. She worries she isn’t expressive enough as a mother, but Ryu never doubts her love for a second. She keeps every drawing, note, and school photo he’s ever given her.
Voice Direction: Quiet and warm with nervous energy underneath. Should sound emotionally overwhelmed in a believable way.
“Ryu, dear.. you don’t have to announce your arrival every time you enter a room.”
“When you were little, I worried constantly that we’d fail you somehow… but you grew into someone kinder than both of us.”
“Please stop hugging me while I’m cooking, you’ll burn yourself— no, wait, don’t look sad…”
Takashi’s father is wealthy, charismatic, disciplined, and extremely refined.
But unlike his wife, he values humility over status. He deliberately raised Takashi in regular schools so he wouldn’t become entitled (Takashi made the proposal for regular school, he was on board.)
He believes elegance means knowing when not to show superiority.
He’s the reason Takashi is sarcastic instead of arrogant
Voice Direction:
- Smooth, composed voice.
- Calm authority.
- Speaks with confidence but never condescendingly.
- Occasionally dry and witty.
“Money without humility is just expensive embarrassment.”
(trying not to laugh) "what.. are you wearing?"
“You’re smart. Unfortunately, you also inherited my sarcasm.”
Sharp-tongued, proud, and openly classist toward people she considers “improper.” She adores her husband and absolutely spoils Takashi emotionally, though she disguises it beneath criticism and dramatic sighs. Thinks Takashi deserves the best in everything—including friends, though she secretly likes his chaotic group more than she admits.
- Refined, dramatic, cutting. Every sentence should sound like it’s being judged before it leaves her mouth.
“Takashi, darling, if you’re going to associate with chaos, at least straighten your tie first.”
“Your father taught you humility. I simply refuse to let you become unfashionable.”
“Those friends of yours are exhausting… though admittedly, the loud blond one is strangely charming.”
Extremely polite to the point of being exhausting. He bows during phone calls. Apologizes when someone else bumps into him. Kaito inherited a huge portion of his formal mannerisms from him. He genuinely believes proper etiquette solves most problems.
Voice Direction: Gentle, proper, overly formal. Sounds like he’s hosting a business meeting at all times.
“Kaito, it is important to maintain grace under pressure. Even if your friends lack it entirely.”
“Ah—my apologies, I did not intend to speak over you. Please continue.”
“Your mother and I are very proud of the gentleman you’ve become.”
Sweet, elegant, and absurdly courteous. She treats even casual conversations like tea ceremonies. Embarrassingly affectionate toward Kaito in public, which mortifies him. Thinks all of his friends are “lovely children,” even Akihiko.
Voice Direction: Warm and graceful with motherly softness. Very calming presence.
“Kaito dear, did you remember to thank your teacher properly?”
“Your friends are always so lively. It makes the house feel wonderfully full.”
“Oh my, you’re graduating already… I truly wasn’t prepared for that.”
Aya’s father is a disaster human being in the funniest way possible. Hyperactive, theatrical, emotionally unstable, and completely committed to nonsense. He treats life like an improv show.
Aya inherited ALL of it.
Voice Direction:
- Loud, unpredictable delivery.
- Comedy-first energy.
- Tone is Medium to Low, or even give your best take on this character!
“AYA! GREAT NEWS! I bought a drone! BAD NEWS! It’s in the kitchen!”
“Your mother told me not to encourage you. Which implies there’s still hope for me.”
“You failed the assignment? GOOD. FAILURE BUILDS CHARACTER.”
Worse. Somehow worse.
Aya’s mother is intelligent chaos disguised as a functioning adult. She’s wildly supportive of Aya’s weirdness and often participates in it. The two of them together are a public safety concern.
Voice Direction:
- Cheerful menace.
- Unhinged but sincere.
- Sounds like she's always scheming.
“Aya, sweetheart, if the plan involves disguises again, tell me early this time.”
"I'd lecture you right now but I'm busy trying to get this bucket above the door.. Yes it's got paint and yes it's to prank your father."
“Your teacher Mr. Takeda keeps emailing us. Which means you’re memorable! That’s networking!”
A soft-spoken, dependable man who treats Remi delicately because he knows how emotional she can be. Very emotionally intelligent. The kind of dad who notices when she’s upset before she says anything. He’s the reason Remi is so compassionate.
Voice Direction: Calm, emotionally reassuring, comforting without sounding overly dramatic.
“Remi, kindness is one of the strongest things a person can carry.”
“Ah… so that’s the boy you keep mentioning.”
"Your friends bring out the best in you, it's refreshing."
Cheerful, nurturing, and emotionally open. Unlike Remi’s softer personality, she’s more socially confident and teasing. Loves gossiping with her daughter and absolutely notices when Remi likes someone before she admits it.
Voice Direction: Bright, affectionate, teasing in a loving way.
“Remi, honey, your face becomes SO obvious when you’re worried about someone.”
“You inherited your father’s kindness and my inability to mind our business.”
“If your friends are hungry, bring them over. Except the loud one— actually no, bring him too.. I keep forgetting he's your.. whatever he may be."
