A Word from the Cast:
Marquis Moore (Akihiro Kaji):
"Working on Fukami was a blast! There was never a dull moment with Ascendent Animation. A big thanks to them for giving the opportunity to bring Kaji to life. To see myself in commercials to Video Games (World War Z, StarGate), to Podcast (The Dead, MayFair Watchers) and now an anime. The sky is truly the limit."
Justin Cabanting (Yu Fukami):
"Being cast for the role of Fukami was nothing short of a spice dream, especially as my debut into dubbing anime. It was a joy to work with Ascendent Animation, where the directors, engineers, writers, and localization teams are full of truly remarkable people that are incredibly skilled and have a passion for what we do. I am eager to see what new collaborations lie upon the horizon in my career as a performer and am grateful for the opportunity to incorporate personal experiences into my performances on titles such as the "Like A Dragon/Ryu Ga Gotoku" series. I look forward to seeing how I can elevate the art of dubbing for this genre.”
