Hukotu No Ken featuring The King of Fighters’ Maxima

Kenshiro

Juuza (who looks a lot like Ken since he doesn't have blue hair like the anime - ahem)

ShadowTempest reports that Juuza’s Seiyuu/Voice Actor this time around is Katsuyuki Konishi, aka Maxima from KOF and Kamina from Gurren Lagann. Rei is Takehito Koyasu, who we know as Shingo’s VA.  It’s a bit of a jump, unless Rei is going to start screaming like a girl, or Takehito finally managed to stop drinking coffee. If you look at his career, you’ll see a whole load of young boys and girls, which I guess is his speciality.  Vigorous perhaps, but Rei certainly wasn’t youthful.

How will this pan out?  How will the fans react?  I remember watching the US dubbing of the “movie” and only recently saw the original series in Japanese.  Perhaps I’ve got cotton wool in my ears, but I thought the voices for Ken, Rei and most of the others suited fine, although a little corny… alright, I admit it, when I was young, I thought it was damn cool!

Rei (holding a pair of arms that he’s just sliced off) “Hey- these belong to you?

Oh damn I found the clip!  Here’s the original in Japanese.

Now… interestingly, (as far as my Japanese understands it) he says “(This is) something you forgot”.  Is it as cool?  Hmmm.

Here’s the English version! (around 07:00)

Kids used to watch this.  Hmmm.  But I digress far too much.  The point was that we have a new VA for Rei.  Does it matter?  Not if he sounds the same, right?  But I don’t think he will…

    The Hokuto pics are mislabeled lol.

    ‘Maxima’ is actually Juuza and ‘Shingo’ is actually Shin.

    *runs*

    yes. Rei never used any cape

    on the website’s character page, kenshiro is the first pic, and rei is the third pic in the first row. Here is a pic of Kenshiro vs Rei

    30 points <3 the pick labeled with Maxima belongs to this guy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wz6VFHlm6us (as pointed out by sonic tempest). He doesn't have a seiyuu yet.

    This http://www.famitsu.com/image/6513/vPw7szk18zNIv6IE8TBaC2e77Z67j3Aw.html is actually kenshiro

    30 points, the kenshiro pic is still wrong.

    As Sonic tempest said, you are mixing up this guy, Juuza http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wz6VFHlm6us

    For this guy, Kenshiro http://www.famitsu.com/image/6513/vPw7szk18zNIv6IE8TBaC2e77Z67j3Aw.html

    Koyasu-san has extremely good range in terms of the types of characters he plays. No, his specialty is not young boys, especially not these days. And as far as I know, he has never played a true (non-gag) female role. If you recall, he has played characters such as Zechs from Gundam Wing, Jade Curtis from Tales of the Abyss, Takasugi from Gintama, and recently Adam Blade from Needless. None of them scream like a girl or sound particularly young.

    This page, with the images of … girls (You never know these days) around him that he voiced – are these characters then actually more mature or serious female roles? I couldn’t tell from the pictures.
