Danganronpa: Mystic Mayhem
Ken_Rou for Buichirou Asayoshi, The Ultimate Archer.
He has a very rigid and militaristic personality, with an attitude that you must be stern and be able to discipline yourself responsibly. Though he does have a softer side, he rarely allows people to see it, not at all open with trusting others to see a vulnerable side of him. He does not enjoy imposing his personality and ideas upon others, and has the highest respect for other lifestyles and ideas, despite disagreeing with the lifestyle as he never grew up that way. He has a passion for a family life when he is older, and wishes to be a father in the future.
After careful consideration, Buichirou's voice is most similar to Hades Aidones, from the anime Kamigami no Asobi. However most other roles filled by Daisuke Ono is similar to the pitch I imagine for this character. Other interpretations however are welcome!
1. (calm/formal) “It is quite the honour to meet you, Sakakibara. I am Buichirou Asayoshi, of the Asayoshi clan. You may know me as the ultimate archer...but that is a thing of the past.”
2. (disgusted/shocked) “I will not allow any harm to come to these people in this *twisted* fantasy you call a game! I shall defend my classmates as I would my family, and my family's honour!”
3. (Formal/perplexed) “I must apologise for you seeing me in such a state. I am not used to...friends...or….hanging out, as you so eloquently put it. Casual wear for these occasions are rarely used due to that. I look like quite the mess, don’t I?”
4. (formal/calm and happy) “You are too kind, I shall cherish this gift and pass it down my family for generations to come. It will become both mine and your legacy for my future descendants.”
5. (aggressive/with authority) “I simply have to interrupt you, for that that is wrong!”
6. (take a section of the Antoine Watkins Closing Argument transcript found in the description for this casting call that you believe suits the character well. This is to show you acting as the character in an argumentative way. Buichirou is usually very calm and collected, with a fatherly role in the cast. During trials, he doesn’t like to accuse and blame the others until all facts are known, he’ll always try to be the voice of reason.)
I would say that I much prefer this over your Yuuya audition, despite it being really awesome to listen too. You seemed to be able to capture the voice imagined really well.
