Friend Kenta

Character: Kenta
Cameraman and close colleague of Adam (the American journalist protagonist), who joins him for three days at a reportedly haunted house. He's the emotional anchor of the story's first half, and the audition needs to show that arc breaking down over the course of the game.

Voice/Language requirement
Native Japanese speaker, or a performer who can deliver natural, unforced English with an authentic Japanese accent. Avoid exaggerated or stereotyped accent work; it should read as a real bilingual colleague, not a caricature.

Personality and range needed

• Early game: warm, easygoing, a little jokey. He's the one trying to keep the mood light in the van and cut the tension when Adam goes quiet.

• Mid game: steady and reassuring. He talks Adam down after the attic and the first flashback, brushing off what's happening as stress or "the house messing with his head."

• Late game: that composure cracks. He goes quieter, more shaken, less willing to explain things away.

• Climax: real terror and screaming.

• Optional (ending-dependent): a version of the line reads with an unsettling flatness or calm, like something's gone wrong underneath the performance rather than on top of it.
