Danganronpa: Mystic Mayhem
ArtimmissVA for Hiro Yuuka, The Ultimate Florist.
Hiro was always aware that he wasn't a typical boy, or manly in any regards, and it drove him to find solace in what seemed to be the only thing that listened to him, the flowers and plants in his grandmothers’ shop. When his time in middle school was coming to a close, he started showing off his artistic prowess in flower arranging, noticing more and more that people started coming to the humble shop for him, calling him an amazing and skilled flower arranger. He debuted as a “celebrity” in the artistic side of the community when he began taking on commissions from big names, prestigious institutions, and his skills took him all over the world.
He has quite the social media presence and a huge following on all his accounts, which he is always extremely humble about. Befitting of his general aura and appearance, Hiro is a very passionate and gentle soul, with not much intensity to his nature. As he looks delicate, like a flower, many people underestimate his own willpower, however he has quite a startling amount of determination and confidence for such a slight, small character. He prides himself on being a hardworking member of society, and feels a sense of empowerment when he is able to always put a smile on someone's face with his artistic style.
After careful consideration, Hiro's voice is most similar to that of Chihiro Fujisaki. He does however sound more boyish than the character i'm comparing him to. however other interpretations are welcome!
1. (quiet/radiant) “The beautiful scent of flowers has always lured many a man, hehe, and I see you're no different. I'm the Ultimate Florist, Hiro Yuka! It's obvious you'd find me in this greenhouse...I couldn't help but claim this little spot as my own!”
2. (scared/nervous and unsure) “N-no...this can’t be...I won’t let this happen! I’ll make sure everyone gets along! We’ll all get along and this killing game will never happen! Right!?”3. (excited/intrigued) “Oooh, so all this ghost talk is actually real!? Wow! I wanna go on a ghost hunt with everyone! That’d be so fun! Come on Akihito, lets go plan it!”
4. (surprised) “Uwaa-! Y-you got this for me? I-i-i..thank you! Thank you so much! I’ll treasure this for eternity.”5. (a little unsure) “I don’t usually disagree, but this time I have to object!”
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. Hiro is quite a kind and selfess character, however wants to be able to make his opinion known, even if it means shouting over others. He’s very sure of himself, despite looking meek.)
