A favorite both in canon and the abridged series. Kanji is a first year student who has a rough exterior, but on the inside he's a real softie. When the group first met Kanji, he stuck close to them and acted like he belonged in the friend group. They later found out that Kanji is just a lonely kid who imposed himself on to others to try to make friends. He's moved when Yu calls him a "pal", and started referring to him as "Boss" from that point on. Kanji is very protective of his friends, as he doesn't want to lose what he worked so hard to gain, but when they talk casually he appears to still be slightly immature. Kanji's Shadow represented his desire for acceptance, and maybe hinted at the fact that Kanji could be pansexual. This wasn't heavily explored, as at that point Kanji really just wanted true friends, but may come back up somewhere down the line.


Kanji's voice can fluctuate from low range to higher range depending on the situation. If he's trying to be serious or threatening, it'll be lower and more aggressive, but if he's hanging with the gang or making jokes, it'll be a mid-high range with a more innocent tone.

  • (Chie and Yosuke ran away screaming "there's a psycho chasing us", so he's terrified, not realizing they were talking about him)

    AHHH! HOLY SHIT GUYS, WAIT FOR MEEEE!

  • (Explaining his reason)

    The man was offering free candy. Who am I to say no to that?

  • (Protective/aggresive at first, followed by relief)

    Excuse me!? We got a problem here!? HM!? ...phew...that was scary...

My feedback: This is great! It reminds me a lot of Matt Mercer's take on the character while still being it's own thing. I also love the energy you brought to the first line. The only constructive thing I can say is I think the recordings got cut just a hair too much, as the first letter of your 2nd and 3rd line are missing. Great work!
