Hello Ladies & Gents and welcome to my first new Casting Call for 2019 and this project is for a Visual Novel Video Adaptation of my fanfic “Yusuke Urameshi Vs. Orihime Inoue! (A YYH/Bleach Crossover”. Now you might be thinking “Visual Novel Video? What the heck is that?” This is where I make comic panels out of pre-existing character portraits and artwork and have them on backgrounds with dialogue panels at the bottom. They are basically kind of like Sprite Comics in which you could watch my Crazy Plot Twist Theater Street Fighter series that I have uploaded on Youtube to know more. In which yes needless to say this production will indeed be on Youtube when it is done. (Oh yes and if anyone is willing to help provide me with some additional artwork that would be nice, this is optional but it would help make things go a bit smoother.) Anyways…
“Yusuke Urameshi Vs. Orihime Inoue! (A YYH/Bleach Crossover)” is a crossover fanfic (though technically a Fusion Fic) based off of the Shounen Anime series’ Yu Yu Hakusho & Bleach. While both shows involve punk Japanese Teenage boys in (then) modern Japan getting gradually involved in Supernatural Fantasy worlds & their conflicts this story is focused on their lives in School. Anyways in this story Yusuke Urameshi is about to get himself ready for the final match at the school's Martial Arts Tournament until Kuwabara's barges in to stop him for doing his final match since Yusuke's opponent is a lady. Yusuke at first smugly brushes Kuwabara off until he tells him that Orihime is his final opponent. In which this gets Yusuke to feel a bit conflicted at first but he doesn't forfeit the match for he has some rather... devious plans in mind. You can read it at the following sites…
Alright folks here are the Rules/Guidelines for this… *ahem*
* Impersonations are not required but feel free to pull them off if you can.
* Deadline is 3/3/19 though I may extend the deadline if necessary.
* If you are cast I may ask you to reprise for the role again sometime in the future.
* This is more of a suggestion but I do strongly recommend that if you audition that you should audition for at least more than one role. I admit I do try to keep the amount of auditioners who didn't get a role at all in any way to a minimum. So let’s just say it would help your chances.
And here is a pronunciation guide to help you all...

And without further or adieu the characters!
Oh yes and as for a note this is a fairly PG-13 story. There is only a mild amount of violence (well on screen) and very little profanity (from Tatsuki) but there is plenty of sexual content but the majority of it is a lot of Innuendo and Flirting. Also keep in mind that aside from the Announcer all of these roles are Teenagers.

Bio: The protagonist of the Yu Yu Hakusho series who becomes the Spirit Detective after he is given a chance to restore his life after he saved a little boy from a car accident. Yusuke is a known delinquent who is normally very abrasive & snarky to just about everyone and lives in a run-down home with his young alcoholic single mother. While Yusuke is normally brash & abrasive he can be willing to show a kinder side as well. In this story he is in a Martial Arts Tournament as a cocky young punk who would gladly taunt and mock just about everyone. But in this story while Yusuke is normally up for a good fight he actually feels a little uncertain about fighting Orihime Inoue in the Final Match... until he has other ideas in mind.
1. (Smug & Condescending) Misogynist? Heh heh, really, why Kuwabara I didn’t know you were able to use such big words, I’m so impressed.
2. (Uncertain & Concerned to gleefully devious) Hmm… I dunno, I mean don’t get me wrong Kuwabara I don’t want Orihime to get an absolute beating any more than you do, but it would look bad on my part if I threw a fight just because my opponent is a girl. Hmmm… however if Miss Hime wants a Judo Match then this gives me an idea for some… grappling fun.
3. (Sleazy & Smooth) Ah yes Kyoko, Ms. Calm & cool with the short dark hair who is about your equal in measurements there Hime, yeah I remember.
4. (Really Excited & Perverted) RE… REALLY?! So you and Kyoko are that close huh Orihime? Oh please do give me all the juicy details…
5. (Smug Taunting) Oh my dear sweet Tatsuki you cute Queen of Sexual Tension you. Ah you know how to roast me so well, but are you sure it’s a good idea to flirt with me so much? You know what with the fact that your boy-toy Ichigo is standing there right next to you.
6. (Faux-Cheerful, Very Terrified) KEIKO! HOW ARE YA?! Nice night huh? I... almost forgot that you would be in the Tournament watching me tonight. You know Keiko I’ve always been quite a believer in good sportsmanship and I was never into that whole “Second Place is for Losers” stuff. Say how about we go and celebrate how I got second place at the School Tournament huh? What do you say? *Keiko cracks her knuckles in front of his face.* Eh… I’ll take that as a no.

Bio: One of the main cast members of Yu Yu Hakusho is Yusuke's known Frenemy and self-proclaimed rival. While Kuwabara did eventually gain spiritual powers and be one of Yusuke's allies. But Kuwabara was originally one of the various punks at his school and would often try to challenge Yusuke to a fight and would always lose, easily. Kuwabara does have a strong Honor Code that he tries to uphold such as how he would never strike a lady. In which Kuwabara often likes to show his chivalrous romantic side to the ladies in which he rarely has any success at it.
1. (Angry, Picking a Fight) URAMESHI! I got a bone to pick with you!
2. (Shocked & Offended) Urameshi, I always knew you were a violent nasty little punk but I didn’t think you are a little misogynist too!
3. (Defensive & Whiny) Cha… Chauvinist, what is that supposed to mean?! After all… since when did Gender Equality became a reason to justify violence huh?
4. (Angry to Awkward Back-tracking) Grrr… I should’ve known! Of course that sleaze Urameshi wouldn’t want to beat up Orihime he’d rather be perverted to her than anything else. Oh how can anyone be so lewd to such a shap… er… such a sweet young lady like Orihime here.
5. (Amazed at Orihime's cleavage to Flustered) AMAZING! Uh… *tries to cover the blood from his nose* I… I mean I… I… I must be strong… I must be strong… I got to maintain my… gentlemanly nature towards the ladies. *sigh* Times like this make me almost glad I did not bring my crew with me I doubt they would be as strong as I am right now.
6. (Shocked & Angry to slightly awkward) U…U…URAMESHI?! How dare you do such a lewd & despicable act to a sexy goddess like Orihime Inoue! Eh I mean such a sweet & pretty young lady like her! Yeah…
Voice Type: Moderate to Moderately Low, Cool, Slightly Smooth, Deadpan Snarker
Reference Voice Clip: https://www.behindthevoiceactors.com/tv-shows/Bleach/Ichigo-Kurosaki/
Bio: Is the Main Character of Bleach as the show is about how he, a Karakura High School student became a Substitute Soul Reaper. However this story has him as a Student, where he is normally seen as a somewhat moody detached teenage boy with a seemingly perpetual scowl. (In which his response to just about everything ranges from "bitterly annoyed" to "dry deadpan sarcasm".) In which while Ichigo is fairly known for winning fights he is actually a rather smart and capable student as he tries to downplay his "violent punk" image. But Ichigo does have a nicer side and also has a bit of a Hero Complex as well. In this story it plays up his relationship with his old childhood friend Tatsuki Arisawa a bit more and in this story he and YYH Lead Yusuke Urameshi do not get along all that well at all.
1. (Slightly Snarky but Casual) Relax Tatsuki, not everything has to be about Gender Politics. The reason why I’m surprised Orihime is doing so well is because she is not a sadist like you. Still speaking of which I’m a little surprised that you didn’t sign in for this year’s tournament. What you didn’t want to show Orihime up?
2. (Surprised to Annoyed) Yusuke, as in Yusuke Urameshi? *ugh* Oh rest assured Tatsuki if that little prick goes too far with Orihime I’ll knock some sense into him.
3. (Really Annoyed to Shocked & Confused) Grrr… Yusuke you sleazy little prick, I should’ve known something like this would happen. Why I… AH! TATSUKI! *brief pause* Eh? Ta… Tatsuki? *Brief Pause* Uh… Tatsuki? Tatsuki? Eh let me get this straight, Yusuke is down there groping & fondling Orihime a lot and you are just sitting here being perfectly calm & okay with this?
4. (Gleefully Devious) Oh I see… Ah yes Keiko Yukimura who if I remember correctly is Yusuke’s old childhood friend and she is right now giving Yusuke quite the Death Glare for well… everything he is doing to Orihime right now. Surely this would lead to Yusuke’s untimely & grisly demise, oh well couldn’t happen to a nicer guy. Hey Tatsuki want to take bets on which one of Yusuke’s heads gets crushed to a bloody pulp first?
5. (Smug & Confrontational) Oh Yusuke you know very well it was more than once. I have a good fight record too you know. Then again there are many things I have more than you such as fighting skills, intelligence, grades, people skills, hygiene… *stands in front of Yusuke looking down* height.
6. (Annoyed & Defensive) Yeah well keep in mind Yusuke that while Tatsuki may not be Orihime or Kyoko but her love pillows aren’t exactly small either.

Reference Voice Clip: https://picosong.com/wmHRt/
Bio: One of the Schoolboys at Karakura High, one of Ichigo's classmates & friends and is in many ways your average teenage boy. Keigo is a slacker with poor grades (a fact that he deems to be a badge of honor) is very loud & energetic and is a hormonal teenage boy. In which Keigo would openly desire to be with cute babes like Orihime Inoue even though he is fully aware that he has no chance with them. Also Keigo would try to act confident and would tease his friends like Ichigo even though he oftens get smacked for that.
1. (Excited) Yeah our Sexy Cutie Judo Goddess Orihime is #1!
2. (Shocked & Scared) U…URAMESHI?! Oh man this is so not good.
3. (Really nervous but trying to stay positive) Yeah I mean sure Yusuke maybe a mean, nasty guy but he is not stupid. I’m sure even he knows that he would get into a lot of trouble if he gave Orihime the kind of beatings he is normally known for giving. Right?
4. (Amazed at Yusuke motorboating Orihime, Perverted) Oh Yusuke Urameshi you truly are a god amongst men.
5. (Amazed, Excited) Yeah this is so one of the best final matches this school has seen!
6. (Smug & slightly lecherous) Oh poor sweet naïve Mizuiro, sure this fight lacks any bloody bone crunching action but not all fights need to. It had humor, it had thrills and Orihime’s oh so vast tracts of land were nearly on full display. How can this not be a great finale to the tournament?
Voice Type: Moderately High, Calm, Intellectual, Tries to be Rational
Reference Clip: https://picosong.com/wmHyK/
Bio: One of the other students at Karakura High who often hangs out with the likes of Ichigo & Keigo. Unlike Keigo, Mizuiro is a calm and more rational individual but is not above some good-natured teasing and being a part of Keigo's shenanigans. Also Mizuiro is a tad bit more successful with the ladies than Keigo is but seems to have a strong preference for older women. Mizuiro often has a "those two guys" dynamic with Keigo and has been a voice of reason to him and at times tries to keep some of Keigos antics in check.
1. (Calm & slightly surprised) Yeah I admit I’m surprised that Orihime is doing so well.
2. (Calm & Friendly to slightly nervous) Oh yes I remember now Orihime’s last opponent is… *gulp* Yusuke Urameshi.
3. (Really Nervous) I know, Yusuke Urameshi is known as one of the most violent delinquents in this school’s history. And I even heard that Yusuke would beat anyone up, man, woman he doesn’t care.
4. (Slightly Nervous & Flustered) This is getting slightly inappropriate.
5. (Slightly Flustered, Trying to be Rational) Hey now Keigo be careful about saying things like that, for all we know they could be just rumors. However I do know that Orihime & Kyoko have become very good friends and I’ve heard that Kyoko was the one who trained Orihime. I’ve also heard that Orihime & Kyoko are going to celebrate this tournament in Orihime’s room tonight.
6. (Trying to calm down Chizuru) Eh please settle down Chizuru.

Reference Voice Clip: https://www.behindthevoiceactors.com/tv-shows/Bleach/Orihime-Inoue/
Bio: One of the main female characters in Bleach. Orihime Inoue is a young schoolgirl who is known for being a kind, sweet-natured young lady who is easy to get along with and tends to see the best in people. She is also often well known for her beauty as she is easily one of the most well-endowed students in school in which she is very popular with the boys. In which Orihime has occasionally been envied by the girls at school due to her rather generous proportions but some of the girls at school find her very desirable too (such as Chizuru for example). While Orihime does have a tendency to come off as naive and a bit too trusting she is actually rather book-smart and is one of the better students at her class. During the series Bleach, Orihime has pined for Ichigo but her feelings remained unrequited for the most part until near the end. But in this story she and Kyoko Haida are rather close friends as Kyoko helps Orihime by training her for the School's Tournament.
1. (Friendly to Excited) Oh Yusuke this Tournament has been so much fun. And Kyoko has told me that whether if I win or lose the Tournament tonight that she will treat me to Ice Cream and a nice massage tonight. Oh Kyoko has been so good to me aaaahhhh oh Yusuke I’m so going to sleep with her tonight.
2. (Curious & Confused) Hmm? Well I would most likely be having another sleepover with Kyoko, what did you think I meant? Though we will most likely still practice on grappling tonight, oh maybe if I’m lucky I get to be on top of Kyoko when we grapple on my bed tonight. Hey wait a minute Yusuke, there seems to be a lot of blood coming out of your nose, are you okay?
3. (Eager, ready for battle) Alright then, well Yusuke I’ll be sure to give you a good grappling.
4. (Happy & Grateful) Kyoko! Thank you so much Kyoko, I totally couldn’t have done this without you.
5. (Kind & Concerned) To be honest I never understood why people keep telling me how much of a bad guy Yusuke is, he normally seems very friendly to me.
6. (Very Eager, Re: Kyoko Line 6) Oooh that sounds wonderful Kyoko, though maybe I could also give you a good massage too Kyoko. In fact maybe I can be on top this time when we are at my room later.
Voice Type: Moderate to Moderately Low, Calm, Soothing, Aloof but can be friendly
Reference Clip: https://picosong.com/wmHqE/
Bio: Kyoko Haida is one of the Anime-only characters from Bleach who appeared in only Episode 261 of the Bleach anime series. In the anime Kyoko was a transfer student who is seen as a cool & aloof beauty who was at first a bit cold & cynical (due to how she got rejected by her former friend). In which Kyoko tries to force Orihime to befriend her but in the end she and Orihime do get to become very good friends rather quickly. Kyoko is very smart and incredibly perceptive as she can tell what the teachers are going to do to sensing that Orihime has spiritual powers like her. While Kyoko is a lot more mature and wise compared to Orihime but is also very similar to Orihime in being a fine student and athelete (and is about her equal in measurements). Anyways while Kyoko may seem rather aloof and distant at first but can be very caring towards those such as her good friends. In this story her close friendship with Orihime is played up more and after getting to spend some time with Orihime has made her friendlier & more sociable in which she & Orihime became quite close. (In which while she admires Orihime for being so kind & friendly she does try to be patient with Orihime on how she seems to be so naive & trusting to a fault.)
1. (Proud & slightly excited) Ah Orihime I am so proud of you, you managed to get your way up to the finals. It looks like all the training we did these past few nights have done us well. Ah my dear Hime, whether you win or lose I’m so going to treat you to some Ice Cream and a nice massage later.
2. (Annoyed snark to slightly exasperated) And Yusuke is too busy leering at Orihime’s cleavage. *sigh* Of course he would. Oh Hime don’t get me wrong I normally love how you’re so sweet and friendly to everyone, though why you would be so friendly to a sleazy little man like Yusuke I’ll never know.
3. (Exasperated & trying to be patient) *sigh* Note to self, give Orihime a little lecture about how she really shouldn’t be so impressionable around sleazy little men like Yusuke.
4. (Intrigued Epiphany) Wait a minute; you know maybe we’re not giving Orihime enough credit here. We all thought that Yusuke was manipulating Orihime to get her to show off a lot more cleavage, but how do we know she is not the one manipulating him? Considering all the times that little creep Yusuke was getting nosebleeds around Orihime it looked like she practically had him wrapped around her finger. After all Yusuke is a well-known pervert so how do we know that Orihime didn’t take advantage of that. Oh what a bold play my dear Hime, a bold play indeed.
5. (Concerned & trying to be patient) Eh yes Orihime, that may be true that he seems to be rather friendly to you but some of us are a bit concerned that he has… ulterior motives why. Let’s just say some of us felt that it wasn’t much of a match as Yusuke didn’t give you much of a fight.
6. (Very eager & flirty tone) Oh yes and later on tonight Orihime we can take that slightly blood-soaked gi off and then I will treat you to another one of my massages. And we both know I can be very thorough, oh my dear sweet hime I’ll make sure that you'll be feeling good tonight.

Reference Clip: https://picosong.com/wmHYr/
Bio: Tatsuki is one of the girls at Karakura High and is one of Ichigo's oldest friends as they have known each other since childhood. Tatsuki is very much a rowdy & temperamental Tomboy as she is very athletic and a fairly accomplished Martial Artist who is also known as Orihime's best friend and is very protective of her. (However Tatsuki does have an occasional tendency to scold Orihime for doing something rather reckless even resorting to violence to make a point.) In this story her tension-filled friendship with Ichigo is played up a lot more and has a slight bit of a rivalry with Kyoko on who is Orihime's close protective best friend here.
1. (Happy & Proud) Ah this is so cool that Orihime was able to get to the top. Go Orihime!
2. (Slightly defensive to very defensive) Perhaps, don’t get me wrong I suppose it is nice how Orihime & Kyoko do get along really well. However that Kyoko does occasionally tease me on how she seems to think I have sexual tension issues with you Ichigo… *slight blush* which I clearly don’t of course!
3. (Very Eager & slightly flirty to Flustered Backpedaling) Oh really? Well Ichigo how about I make you call me Master later on tonight then? *pause* Uh… in…. in Submission Hold training of course.
4. (Faux-Cheerful, Fuming in Tranquil Fury) Oh Ichigo you silly boy you of course I wouldn’t be “okay” with Yusuke’s oh-so blatant display of Sexual Harassment to Orihime here. However while I could fly off into a homicidal rage but I think I’ll let poor little miss Keiko here do that instead.
5. (Annoyed Sarcasm) Oh very funny Yusuke, very funny.
6. (Slightly Smug, Snarky) You see Yusuke times like this have me a little conflicted. Sure I could say that the idea of Orihime & Kyoko being more than just friends is just a rumor but knowing you Yusuke, you would so ignore that. But to be fair those two would be better off with each-other than you that is for sure.

Bio: One of the various girls at Karakura High who often hangs out with the other girls in her class. Chizuru is a Lesbian and very openly so as she would often like to hit on other girls especially Orihime and often likes to fondle Orihime's breasts any chance she gets (in which she often gets smacked around by Tatsuki.) In which while Orihime is Chizuru's favorite target as she openly finds Orihime to be very sexy but is quite willing to hit on the other girls as well. But that being said Chizuru is willing to hang out with boys as she is friends with the likes of Keigo & Mizuiro. In this story while playing up how hormonal she can be with the girls she is capable of being insightful as she seems to be a friendly acquaintance of Yusuke Urameshi as she seems to be a bit more familiar with what kind of a guy he is really like.
1. (Very Excited) Ah yeah I knew that our Sexy Cutie Judo Goddess Orihime would come out on top!
2. (Recalling a mostly happy memory) Ah yes I remember when I once dabbled in Judo too, well until I got kicked out of the Girl’s Judo Club at School for “Unnecessarily Lewd Roughness”. Namely how I was often told that in a Judo Match you are supposed to grab things like shoulders & arms, not breasts and waists. Oh those School Officials were such spoil-sports.
3. (Rational & Reasonable) Well okay probably not flat out false. But still you two, yes Urameshi has been in a lot of fights but it’s with guys who try to pick fights with him. I mean really you two, if Yusuke is as much of a violent savage as you two make him out to be he would mostly be in Juvie right now if not in Jail. Besides this is an official sanctioned Tournament and those “absolute beatings” that Yusuke is known for giving are actually quite a no-no regardless of what gender his opponent is.
4. (Slightly awkward to very eager) Know him? Ehh… not quite, Yusuke and I are more occasional acquaintances than anything else. Though he has admired my fine skills in the art of Skinship Groping upon the ladies, of course he is not the only guy to have done so. However I wouldn’t mind having a sleepover with Yusuke, namely so I can try to get it on with his sexy young hard-drinking mother though. *growl*
5. (Annoyed Sarcasm) Gee Mizuiro I didn’t think a little prude like you would hang out with folks like us.
6. (Very Eager & Aroused) Ooooohhh… yes, Orihime & Kyoko, two of the sexiest students here in this school. Oh I would practically sell my soul to be in the same bedroom as those two.

Bio: One of the more prominent female characters in Yu Yu Hakusho who is Yusuke's childhood friend and his Tsundere Love Interest. While Keiko is normally a sweet, pleasant and endearing young lady to most people she is often quite annoyed by Yusuke's abrasive perverted smart aleck punk ways and often smacks him for that. However Keiko does genuinely care for Yusuke and has a lot of concern for him even if Yusuke doesn't always seem to appreciate it. In this story she doesn't appear until nearly the end and she gets really infuriated over Yusuke's perverted antics towards Orihime and has every full intention to confront him about it.
1. (Fuming in Absolute Rage) Yusuke… Urameshi…
2. (Firm, Calm & Deadly Serious) Where do you think you’re going Yusuke?
3. (Sweet & Cheerful to Deviously Sinister) Oh Yusuke, I’ve heard that Orihime thinks that the reason why you get nose-bleeds around her so much is because you have a lot of brain damage. Oh dear that sounds serious, well Yusuke I have known you for many years and I can say one thing about you… *sadistic smile* that you are certainly no liar.
