Darnell Rain (Mamiko's Father)

(Design by Kirb)

Character Profile: Mamiko Rain’s father. An Ex-American soldier who was stationed in Japan, he met Mamiko’s mother and became a citizen. After receiving a career-ending injury on duty and a messy divorce, Darnell raised Mamiko single-handedly. Despite the difficulties of both his past and his present living as a black man in Japan, he is a hardy and good-spirited person.

He is a protector by nature, always eager to help Mamiko despite knowing full well she is fully capable of handling herself. Whether this stems from his background as a soldier or because he knows just how difficult growing up in her circumstances has been isn’t certain.

Due to Darnell being a black character and the importance of this to his and Mamiko's stories, we’d like to strongly encourage black voice actors to apply for this role particularly.

Voice: For Darnell we're looking for a warm, fatherly voice with a low-depth and the capacity for great enthusiasm when telling jokes or being protective over his daughter.
