LOOKING FOR: ANIMATOR & MUSICIAN TEAM - VOICE ACTORS
The Hot Box for Mr. Tsukumo (Ryu's Father)
A quiet, awkward salaryman in his late 40s who always looks slightly confused by his own life. He speaks carefully, pauses too long before answering questions, and constantly feels like he’s “doing parenting wrong” even though Ryu absolutely adores him. He never expected to be a father, let alone raise a son as loud, affectionate, and emotionally fearless as Ryu. He loves listening to Ryu talk, even when he doesn’t understand half of what he’s saying. Secretly sentimental. Gets emotional over graduation photos.
Voice Direction: Soft-spoken, hesitant, emotionally sincere. Sounds like a man constantly buffering before speaking. Accidental humor. Voice should feel grounded and realistic.

“Ryu… your graduation suit is louder than traffic. But… you look happy in it, so I suppose that’s what matters.”
“Your mother and I genuinely thought you’d grow out of talking this much. We were… very incorrect.”
“I don’t always know how to react to you, son. But I’ve never once regretted having you.”
