Danganronpa Project Paradigm- Voice Actor Recruitment
maddog197x for Student #114- Akito Aoki, Ultimate Social Media Influencer
Akito Aoki- Ultimate Social Media Influencer
[Aoki is pronounced Ow-key]
Society always keeps a close eye on the latest trends, so what happens when the newest trend is…giving back to the world you live in? Akito Aoki is a pioneer first and foremost when it comes to trendsetting, and for him? The biggest trend will never be something like making a fool of yourself in front of a camera for all of society to see, but instead performing acts of altruism, not for fame, not for notoriety, but just because it’s the right thing to do. Online, he is seen as a paragon of virtue, someone that always will do the right thing no matter what, promoting a lifestyle of good vibes only, and yet offline, while he is as good natured and charitable as he appears to his followers, personally he yearns for nothing more than peace, prosperity on planet earth, and a day that he will no longer catch the watchful eyes of media consumers, so he can continue doing he loves, without the burden of clout weighing him down like iron shackles.
For Akito, we are looking for someone who can capture the laid back and genuinely personable demeanor within his voice lines and personality, with a distinct emphasis on genuine. We are looking for a relaxed, medium-pitched masculine voice for this role.
A reference for how he would sound like would be Kent Itou’s Insider from the Mobile Game Arknights, or Park Yo-han’s Chesed from the video game Library of Ruina.
Do note that references are just that: references. Feel free to provide your own interpretation of the character, as we are looking for what will fit the character best, not who's the most accurate to the voice reference.
Extra Note: Because Akito has a very laid back vibe, I will accept takes that give him the 'stoner vibe' in your deliveries.

Line 1: (gently scolding) Hey now, violence isn’t the right way to solve things y’know. But, I get the frustration. I suppose I’ll make it up to you, and introduce myself. The name’s Akito Aoki, I’m an advocate for peace and justice online. Perhaps you’ve heard of me?
Line 2: (sheepish) No need to idolize me, I’m just trying to make the world a better place for us all to live in…that’s all! Quite frankly, I don’t think I really qualify for the talent of “Influencer”…personally, I felt that “Activist” would be more accurate…'spose that the talent scouts thought otherwise.
Line 3: (after being asked if he thinks he's in a killing game) I mean, if the shoe fits. Which…if that’s the case, (determined, but still laid back) I’ll make sure none of us succumb to any stupid motive any stupid mascot throws at us. We’re here to strengthen our bonds as ultimates, not turn against each other and kill!
