Voice Actor Comments: Danganronpa 1

Voice Actor Comments: Danganronpa 1

Short comments from the voice actors of characters in Danganronpa THH. Jack and Junko do not have one, but they share VAs with Toko and Mukuro respectively. Monokuma doesn’t have one for the first game, but will for the second. VA names and names in quotes are written surname first.

Aoi Asahina VA: Saitou Chiwa (斎藤 千和)

“She’s so cute!” was my first impression of “Asahina Aoi”. She was a straightforward, refreshing, and pleasant girl. Particularly in Chapter 4, where she becomes friends with Oogami Sakura, the relationship between the two is clearly shown and memorable. In the class trial scene, it was difficult to find the balance in “speaking quickly” and “speaking clearly”. “Danganronpa” is a work I personally really like, and Asahina is my favorite character. I would be happy if you could continue to support us for a long time to come.

Byakuya Togami VA: Ishida Akira (石田 彰)

"Togami Byakuya" is a very intelligent character, whose qualities are different from those of ordinary people. He understands that himself, and doesn’t try to use his intelligence to reduce feuding with those around him, so he comes across as a very sarcastic guy (laugh). It will be even more rewarding if you uncover mysteries or clues, please keep this in mind. As for the “sequel”, your imagination may be put to the test...

Celestia Ludenberg VA: Shiina Hekiru (椎名 へきる)

“Celes” is a girl who is mysterious yet cute, with an enigmatic atmosphere. One chapter reveals a different side of her, with lines I had never spoken before, and I found the amplitude of range and integrity of this style to be cool and endearing. The surreal and stylish design of the entire main story, along with the wonderful cast are also highlights. Everyone please support us by publishing a “doujinshi (!)” at an event! I look forward to seeing you again.

Chihiro Fujisaki VA: Miyata Kouki (宮田 幸季)

"Fujisaki Chihiro" was a very difficult role, and every scene was memorable. In the class trial part, I put a lot of emphasis on capturing the sense of urgency, and was especially conscious of this in the serious scenes. Those who have already played the game will know that it's a really crazy story, with some parts that will make you go "Huh!?". If you haven't yet, please check it out! I hope that with everyone's support, the media mix will continue to expand in a variety of ways.

Hifumi Yamada VA: Yamaguchi Kappei (山口 勝平)

"Yamada Hifumi" is a character type I haven't played until now, I was particularly overwhelmed by the design, and thought I would be more confused, but I had fun acting. In his case, I think it's more interesting to just go with the flow and energy of the moment, rather than formulating a performance. I hope you enjoy the story to the fullest.

Kiyotaka Ishimaru VA: Toriumi Kousuke (鳥海 浩輔)

My impression of "Ishimaru Kiyotaka" can be summed up in one word "hot”. Rather than a specific scene, what was most memorable was the fact that he was screaming throughout. He is always “Ishimaru-kun”, no matter the situation. To all the users who play, please enjoy it.

Kyoko Kirigiri VA: Hikasa Youko (日笠 陽子)

At first, I had the impression that "Kyoko Kirigiri" was a cool, calm and collected character, but as I played the role, I felt the passion that was hidden within her. Specifically, the scene where she was suspected of being the culprit was quite memorable. When I act, I try to be careful to make sure my words have a sharpness that stabs the other person. I hope that the “Danganronpa” world continues!

Leon Kuwata VA: Sakurai Takahiro (櫻井 孝宏)

“Kuwata Leon” is a flashy, fun character. He's stupid, but charming... that's what I think (laugh). Dubbing him is like a sport, and I sweat profusely every time I perform it. Everyone, I hope you enjoy this work and feel the sweat put into it.

Makoto Naegi VA: Ogata Megumi (緒方 恵美)

"Danganronpa" was able to come this far thanks to everyone's support, thank you very much. For those who are playing for the first time, did you enjoy this game, full of unique characters and lines? I hope that after fully enjoying the main story, you will also enjoy the various media mix developments.

Mondo Owada VA: Nakai Kazuya (中井 和哉)

My impression of “Oowada Mondo” was “intense!”. Even if you just look at the visual impact, he’s clearly a bad guy, not seen in many modern games. I wondered if he would stand out from the crowd, but the other members are just as intense. That's why it feels good no matter how many times I perform it. I love "lovable idiots" (laugh). This series has been well received by everyone, so please look forward to future developments!

Mukuro Ikusaba VA: Toyoguchi Megumi (豊口 めぐみ)

Since I was playing the role of a "gal," I was able to relax and play the role in a good way (laugh). Considering her character, I thought she would be the type who speaks before thinking, so she would act intensely in the class trial. However, she had fewer lines than expected in the main story due to certain circumstances... I worked hard on the performance, including the media mix development, so I hope you enjoy it.

Sakura Ogami VA: Kujira (くじら)

My impression of playing "Ogami Sakura" was “cool high school girl...interesting”! The "suicide note scene" was particularly memorable. Did you pay attention to the tempo in the class trial scenes? I would like Naegi-kun to refute many things. I think "Danganronpa" is quite rewarding.

Sayaka Maizono VA: Oomoto Makiko (大本 眞基子)

My impression of “Maizono Sayaka” is that she is a very honest, gentle, and cute girl. You feel like you want to protect her, her excitement in being Naegi-kun’s assistant is the most memorable part. Enjoy the pleasure of debating, and have fun playing the main story ♪ We look forward to your continued support of “Danganronpa”. Even so, being lively makes me feel at peace (laugh).

Toko Fukawa VA: Sawashiro Miyuki (沢城 みゆき)

"Fukawa Touko" uses a lot of curse words and abusive language, and she is more memorable as a whole than as any individual scene. However, I get the sense that she is also a normal 16-year-old high school girl who is filled with love and an inferiority complex. Since the persona that comes out on the surface is so venomous, she comes across as a very depressed character, but I had fun playing her (laugh).

Yasuhiro Hagakure VA: Matsukaze Masaya (松風 雅也)

When I looked at the materials beforehand, I thought it would be a cheerful and relaxed style, but in the main story I was like, “This is not the time to be that relaxed!” I won't say the specific chapter, but the scene where he was at the center of the incident, or rather, caught up in it, was the most rewarding to act. The class trial is played with consideration given to the tempo and the lines before and after, so please enjoy it. We look forward to your continued support in the future!
