Squeedo for Himari Masumoto (He-mare Ma-suh-MOH-toh)
Himari Masumoto is the younger sister of Michio, with them being 4 years apart in age. She's energetic, confident, and sporty, completely contrasting from her older brother. She enjoys cute things but not as much as Kotone and isn't as girly as the older girl. Her interests include watching Featherman Rangers and playing lacrosse on her school's team, along with spending time with Michio and his friends. She learns a lot from her brother and parents, trying her best to meet their standards and even exceed them. The 4th grader is positive, serving as an emotional support for those around her and is infamous for making everyone that talks to her happy and feel "sunny." She can be found during breaks and lunch by the gate, talking to her brother, Kotone, and Kakuji and trading lunches with them. Himari is also shown to be good at rollerskating since that's how she gets to school on mornings when the siblings can't take the train. Despite her upbeat and peppy vibe, she is quite self-conscious and can get depressed when something goes wrong but Michio is good at comforting her and making her feel better. She tries her best, always being described as a spunky, happy-go-lucky girl who cares for her friends and those around her.
- Before You Audition/Info-
- ~Before you audition, please know that this will be a long-term project that might even take months or years. This is one of the important characters in the game who will be present for most of the game. If you're not going to be dedicated to do this project, then please do not audition since it would cause a lot of trouble for me to have to find a replacement last minute. Also, please do try to at least have a semi-clear mic.
- ~There might be one or two minor themes that might make people uncomfortable, but it will be mentioning other characters and their issues. Please be aware of this before auditioning, incase if you get casted. I don't want anyone being uncomfortable once they get casted as a role.
- ~If there's any questions that you have about the character, auditioning, casting, or anything else. I'll be glad to answer any questions that you have to the best of my ability!
- Voice Examples/References-
- This section is mainly for VAs who want to audition but aren't sure of what the character sounds like, might an example, or would like to know the character's voice range. It's pretty simple and self-explanatory since it's here to help. You don't have to follow this 100%, but taking it into consideration would be nice.
- Himari's voice is softer, childish, and high-pitched. It can convey a palette of emotions, ranging from her energetic shouting, happy encouragement, anger for whenever someone manages to tick her off, and even crying for whenever something goes wrong or else she bottles up her feelings for too long. Please be able to be able to convey tons of emotions and still be able to keep the childish and high-pitched voice that she has! Please do not audition if you won't be able to add emotion to your lines. I'd also prefer a female VA for these lines since, well, she is a young girl. Also, thank you very much for reading this far and checking out my casting call!

"Hello, Chiura-san! You are him, right? Right!? ....Phew.... I'm Himari Masumoto but I'm pretty certain that you already know that since my brother probably talks about me a lot! Michio's my big bro who always takes care of me. Wait!... I was expecting something different.... My brother tells me about you since he looks up to you a lot... I probably shouldn't have said that, right? Oops... Sorry. But please don't be embarrassed! It seems like a lot of people look up to you, right? I mean, even Koto sees you as a role model! So, that's pretty impressive when it comes down to it! I should know, since she's my best friend! Hehe!" (Happy and cheerful, but still serious enough to be taken as a real introduction. She becomes a bit panicky at the end, trying to reassure Yuuma that it's not embarrassing.)
"M-my brother... My family hasn't been able to find him anywhere! I-I'm super scared... I'm worried about his safety! Would if he got kidnapped? Or got lost?... He disappeared a little bit after dinner and we haven't seen him since... My mom and dad even shut down the shop earlier just so that we could search for him... We even went as far to call Kakuji's house to see if he was over there... But no luck... He seems to be pretty close to you so... (gulp) You haven't seen him, right? You'll help us, right? H-He'll be alright.... Right? He didn't run away because he was angry at me... R-Right? I knew that I was just holding him down..." (On the verge of tears, concerned and frightened. She becomes frantic as tears start to fall, stuttering and shaking.)
"Wow! This is an adorable sun hair tie! Did you get it for me? I wasn't expecting to get a present from you anytime soon! (giggle) Not that it's a bad thing, though! I'm actually pretty happy about it! My brother's gotten me a couple in the past before since he knows that I like them a lot... but they've all gotten worn out since I wore them too much. So, thank you once again!" (Excited but she's controlling it well. She takes a couple of seconds to think before speaking. She acts super thankful.)
