Higurashi No Naku Koro Ni: English Dub (RECASTING FOR SATOSHI)
kifinosi for Kiichirou Kimiyoshi
- VOICE RANGE: MEDIUM T9 LOW -
Kiichirou is the chief of Hinamizawa, and head of the Kimiyoshi House. He is a kindhearted and gentle man, most of the younger villagers referring to him as Grandpa Kimiyoshi. His status as village chief is more like a symbolic title, since the Sonozaki House, lead by Oriyo, are the true power in Hinamizawa. He also seemingly led the anti-dam movement, and the Onigafuchi Defense Alliance during the Hinamizawa Dam Conflict, when Oriyo was actually in control behind the scenes. He is murdered by Shion in two different arcs, and is killed in the Great Hinamizawa Disaster in several other arcs.
(Friendly) Welcome to Hinamizawa! How has it been so far? Have you found it to be a beautiful and tranquil place?
(Shocked, worried) Ms. Oriyo! Terrible news. Seems as though it’s happened a fourth time... I’m sure you understand how troubling this is, but I don’t know what to do!
(Desperate, trying to sound calm) Listen, I really don’t know anything, Shion.. I wish I did, but the truth is I don’t think I have the answers you’re looking for. I’m sorry...
This is awesome! The old man voice you used for this character is very fitting! Your range and emotions fit nicely as well. Not sure if it was intentional, but I like the added stutter in the second and third lines too. Great work :)
It was indeed intentional. :-P I'm super glad you liked it!
