Project X Zone 2 FANDUB: Prologue 3 - "Dancers in Shadow"
leczorn for Kage Maru (Virtua Fighter)
A ninja from the Hagakure clan, trained in the fearsome "Hagakure-ryū Jū-Jutsu" style of martial arts. The name "Kage Maru" is actually one passed down through members of the Hagakure, with the current Kage Maru being the 10th to adopt it.
Kage's current mission concerns the conglomerate Judgement 6, whom were responsible for the loss of his parents and village. The pursuit of taking down the massive corporation resulted in him to entering the World Tournament, and his investigations have led him to target the prized weapon of J6; the cyborg "Dural".
In order to gain assistance in tracking down Dural, Kage Maru enlists the help of Hotsuma, who has connections to government information. Bringing Akira along, they are set to meet in the deserted streets of Shibuya, which is closed off to the public. However, Kage soon comes to see why Shibuya's closed off in the first place.
Voice Tips: Out of all the characters in this scene, Kage Maru likely has the deepest voice of all of them. Though he is normally stone-faced and unexpressive, he occasionally reveals a warm-hearted soul beneath the mask. A gravelly voice similar to Batman would suit this character.
Voice type: Low Male.

[Context: Akira is complaining about the difficulty of getting into Shibuya's closed off areas]
Akira. We're meeting with the leader of a combat unit with ties to the government... For someone like that, steps such as these are expected.
(To Akira, gravely) You've fought that metal thing in battle before. You're no simple bystander. V-Dural, to be precise. Not quite the same as the real Dural. But we'll save that talk for later. Our first priority is tracking our targets down.
[Context: Kage Maru finds Hotsuma, but is shocked/annoyed to find him accompanied by the other ninjas who have travelled through time]
(seriously, slightly irritated) I have business with Hotsuma (Hoht-soo-mah), leader of the Oboro clan. I am Kage Maru (Kah-geh Mah-roo) of the Hagakure. And I thought you said you were coming alone.
[Hotsuma explains the situation]
(Disbelieving, slightly condescending) You're saying you all arrived in Shibuya from various times in the past and future? Am I expected to believe that?
