While his role is fairly similar to the original story, his relationship with Akutagawa is noteworthy. His original connection with Atsushi stemmed from their more light and casual personalities in comparison to the many oddballs at the agency, but with Akutagawa, Tanizaki seemed to connect with him over their intensity. Though Tanizaki is oftentimes just as awkward as before, he has an intense love and care in regards to his sister, willing to hurt anyone who should come her way without a second thought. Likewise, Akutagawa has an intense commitment to his sister as well, and they share a mutual understanding of doing ANYTHING (yes, even murder) in order to protect her. Tanizaki’s voice should sound relatively friendly and casual, but the actor should be capable of displaying an intensity with this tone when necessary.
