Sakura Wars OVA Dubbed

Project Overview

This will be a an English language fandub of the first two prequel OVA series based on the Sakura Wars games developed by SEGA.

Produced in the mid 90s, the cast revolves around a group of women known as the Flower Division who by day are theater actresses in 1920s Japan, and are mech pilots by night.

While America never got the games officially, the OVA series was poorly dubbed back in the day and I wanted to rectify this issue.


I am Burntends and served as an editor for the fan translation patches of the games included several of the spin-offs. This will be an original script written to be more in line with the various fan-translations and overarching lore of the franchise. I have lots of experience with dubbing having worked on the Translation dub patch of Bulk Slash on Sega Saturn as well as redubs of 2 City Hunter movies which you can find on my youtube channel linked on my profile.

Recordings will be done live over discord with me directing voice actors as we go along using the video as a guide.

Smaller roles not listed in this project will be offered as well per my discretion. I estimate there to be over a dozen characters not listed.

Role assigned to: Rachel Sun

The titular heroine, Sakura Shinguji is a swordsman who was part of the original lineup of the Flower Division which is tasked with acting in plays as well as defending Tokyo in her mech suits. 

Approximately 17 at the beginning of the series, Sakura is your "vanilla" girl, being both subtle enough to be the "canon" romance in the games, while also having the depth to showcase both strength and femininity. 

Generally she's a very cheerful and spirited girl while also having the classic jealous streak when it comes to the player character, Ogami, talking to other women.

The classic rich girl archetype, Sumire is the heiress to one of the largest corporations in Japan, including the one that produces the gear the Flower Division uses in battle. She has an ongoing quarrel with her squadmate and friend Kanna, often making rude comments about anyone.  The two will beef at any moment, almost on sight at times.

While she has quite an ego, she also has the skills to back them up.


Sumire is also a master of doing the "ohohoho" laugh with a certain melodic bounce to each laugh.

Role assigned to: Maiyatsumi

A tall, buff, extremely strong karate master from Okinawa, Kanna is the most imposing yet also friendliest member of the Flower Division. She generally plays male roles in the Flower Division's plays due to her stature. She's a big person, with a big personality and a big appetite. 

Kanna has a longstanding rivalry with Sumire with whom she often calls the prickly little cactus lady due to Sumire's perceived arrogance. This rivalry often devolves into long sessions of bickering and actual catfights.

Role assigned to: BuzzleBeeVA

A cheerful quirky genius, Kohran is the team's nerd, working on all the mechanics including the various mech suits the Flower Division fields in battle. In her spare time she tends to make creations that literally blow up in her face.


Kohran is an unusual character because of the way she speaks. Canonically she is a Chinese girl raised by an Englishman speaking an unusual version of the Kansai dialect which is akin to a working class accent. Would love to try and experiment with various non standard accents such as Cockney or Australian accents if possible.

Powerful on the battlefield, she still is a child and needs to learn to enjoy her life as one rather than rushing to become an adult. Oh, and the bear she carries around is named Jean-Paul.


Calls the player character "Mon Frere" as a term of endearment due to her French roots. That said, auditioners should stick to their native accent, unless they actually can speak French.

Orihime Soletta

Role assigned to: lovelandisle

If one word could describe Orihime, it would be "sassy". A half-italian, half-japanese noblewoman, Orihime was a later addition to the Flower Division after having previously served in a European division. When first introduced to the series, Orihime displayed a distinct disdain for Japan, especially its men such as Ogami the team captain due to her relationship with her estranged japanese father who left them at a young age. 

At this point in the series where the OVA takes place, Orihime is one that has softened up and made amends with her father and her treatment of the player character, Ogami. That said, she still retains the sassy, rich girl personality but now in a more endearing way.

Would love to have someone that can speak with an Italian accent as she tends to throw in random non-japanese words into her performance in the original Japanese dub.

A newer addition to the Flower Division, Reni previously served alongside Orihime in a now defunct European unit.

Trained to be a child super soldier for the trenches of World War 1, Reni grew up to become a very deadpan and expressionless machine. 

By the time this OVA happens, Reni has begun to open up having had a significant emotional breakthrough thanks to her first real friend, Iris. While still mostly business oriented, Reni has slowly started to become more personable towards others.

  • If Iris says I'm the issue... then there must be a truth to it.

Orihime's father. A fairly reserved man. 

Ogata in his youth was an artist studying in Italy when he met Carino Soletta, an Italian noblewoman. While the two had fallen in love, her family refused to allow her to marry him and so was forced to return to Japan while Carino gave birth to Orihime. 


By this point in the series, Orihime had made amends with her father, realizing he had never forgotten about the two of them. He is now working as an artist, being commissioned by Chibasuke to draw the cover to his new novel.

  • Captain Ogami, perhaps I can lend you some advice if you were to marry an Italian woman.

  • Gentlemen, can't we settle this disagreement in a civil manner?
