Hi all, this is a casting call for an fandub of the (mostly) realistic mixed martial arts themed anime Shootfighter Tekken OVAs. It's original title in Japanese is 'Koukou Tekken-den TOUGH', which I have now dubbed 'TOUGH! High School Iron Fist Legend' to stay closer to the Japanese.


The story follows 17 year-old high school punk Kiichi Miyazawa on his path to succeeding his father as head of the deadly underground martial art Nanshin Shadow Style, and the different challengers from other schools he face across these 3 OVAs.

This casting call is for episode 1 so far. As we progress through the episodes, more roles will open up.

To give everybody an idea of how serious I am of getting this made, here’s a clip from Episode 3 that I dubbed a few years ago with me doing all the male voices and with original music. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l6-mxejDm4w)

Kiichi 'Kiibo' Miyazawa
open
Unpaid

Kiichi Miyazawa, known to his friends as 'Kiibo', is a rowdy yet goofy 17 year old high school punk, and the next head of the deadly underground martial art Nanshin Shadow Style. He is hard working, determined and obsessed with getting stronger to face stronger opponents.


NOTE - I'd like for him to have a thick Boston accent. Kiichi and his father are from Kobe in the Kansai region, and as such speak in Kansai dialect with a thick accent. I'd like to imitate this with a more urban East Coast accent rather than the Southern drawl that is typically compared to the Kansai accent.

Stern but caring, Kiichi’s father Seiko is the current head of the underground murderous fighting school Nanshin Shadow Style. His unrivalled strength combined with his gentle nature and wisdom have earned him the nickname ‘The Quiet Tiger’. Seiko deeply loves his son Kiichi, and trains him harshly to prepare him for the hardships he will face as the next head of Nanshin Shadow Style.

    What’s most important is your focus and observation. Not just in Nanshin Shadow Style, but in all forms of fighting. Be it through their face or their body, your opponent’s always giving something away.

  • Nanshin Shadow Style: Hashinshō!!! (with some power, like executing a finishing move in Street Fighter)

  • (lightly sarcastic) Looks like you're not training as hard as you say.

The overarching antagonist of this OVA series. Iron Kiba is the CEO and champion of World Pro Wrestling. In order to prove that Pro Wrestling is the ultimate martial art, he challenged Miyazawa Seiko to a no holds barred fight. Kiba was defeated and in the heat of the battle, lost his left eye. Since that defeat, Kiba has obsessed over crushing Nanshin Shadow Style in a rematch, and will stop at nothing to achieve that goal. His character is loosely based upon the real life pro wrestling legend Antonio Inoki.


Voice type: Deep and with gravitas, somewhat gruff. Kiba is well spoken and addresses people respectfully. However, his good manners do not hide his intimidating persona. Kiba is very much a gangster in this regard, almost like a Reggie Cray (minus the London accent).


  • …I’ll crush it…Nanshin Shadow Style…

  • I’d heard that one of our own had been beaten by an amateur, so naturally I was curious. It could only have been you after all, Mr. Miyazawa.

  • (yelling) You’ve crushed two of my wrestlers! You cannot refuse!

  • Calm yourself down and think this through. If you still want me to fight me, then I'll take you on.

  • (aggressively) You've earned my respect. As a real fighter, you have earned my respect!

Kiyomasa Samon’s original teacher. In his youth, Onikawa was a supremely advanced grappler who never became too popular with pro-wrestling audiences. After his eventual retirement from professional wrestling, he was tasked with keeping wrestlers  in line from the shadows by breaking their bones if they misbehaved, earning him the nickname ’The Destroyer'.


Voice type: Medium and aged. He is an elderly man with many years of combat experience.

  • Training you to fight Samon...is like asking a rabbit to fight a lion. To make a rabbit as strong as a lion...is simply impossible

  • You'd fight with God himself huh...? You sound like a lunatic. But you know somethin'? I like crazy.

  • (yelling like a drill sergeant) By holding you breath, you strengthen the heart and lungs! The water pressure will develop you power! The pressure on your heart will give you stamina!

  • (Reminiscing) Oh yeah…you’ll die for sure.

Kuroda’s girlfriend. She has an upbeat and energetic personality. She’s loving towards Kuroda and has a sisterly affection towards Kiichi.
