Ao Haru Ride English Dub
bantam for Kou Mabuchi
MAIN CHARACTER. Kou comes off as cold at times and may seem harsh. He's hard to understand. Despite all of that though, he is still kind on the inside. He can come off as rude and sarcastic as well. His true feelings aren't shown too much, but they are slowly revealed near the end of the series. He is a very important part of this anime. His voice should be masculine, and towards the deeper side.
(slightly cold, but still friendly) "I'm not Tanaka-kun anymore. Now I'm Mabuchi Kou. My parents divorced. I changed my name."
(a little bored, winging it and saying this on the spot) "Um...the purpose of school events. By setting targets and goals that can only be achieved as a group, you foster a feeling of belonging to that group. By doing this, you get everyone to share a sense of commonality, and in that way, bring them together. Or something..."
(in pain, slightly cold) "The things I was thinking then...You couldn't...possibly...understand."
