There is an anime character voice actor or commonly called seiyu Sengoku Youko at the Anime Festival Asia Indonesia (AFA ID) which was held on Saturday (4/5) at JCC Senayan, Jakarta.
It is Takada Yuuki, the seiyuu of the character Tama Youko, one of the protagonists in Sengoko Youko part 1. Well, Takada’s showcase was held at the Day Stage, a paid stage for those of you who want to watch featured anime and content, special anime screenings, and exclusive appearances from many international guests in various countries.
Before the event began, visitors were also invited to watch the trailer of Sengoku Youko. As soon as the trailer started, the audience cheered throughout the trailer. Oh, it seems that this anime series that just had its first season has a lot of fans, detikers.
The number of fans can be heard from the screams of fans that filled the hall when Takada Yuuki entered the stage. In fact, the voice actor of Tama Youko did not expect that when she entered the stage, Indonesian fans would welcome her very much.
“I didn’t expect Indonesian fans to welcome me so warmly and happily. That makes me happy,” said Takada as he greeted fans at his special showcase at the AFAID Day Stage on Saturday (4/5).
For those of you who don’t know, Sengoku Youko has a synopsis of the journey of Shinsuke Hyodo, a martial artist who meets the siblings Jinka Yamato, a human who is very fond of Katawara, and Tama Youko, a Katawara who really likes humans. Set in the Sengoku era, this anime doesn’t just talk about the history of the Sengoku era, but there are also fantasy elements in it.
“There are two types of life there, there are humans and monsters or Katawara. And the relationship between the two is not good,” said Takada.
Throughout voicing Tama in season 1, there were moments that Takada had difficulty with, guys. For example, there was a scene where he had to bite his own hand.
Takada said that the scene even had to be retaken up to 6 times. Even though his voice only came out that little. Takada also said that to play Shinsuke, the main character, his seiyuu even needed candy to soothe his throat.
Well, there was also a session where he played Tama’s voice. Fans screamed while he played Tama’s voice. Not only did he act it out, Takada went all out to the point that he did two live dubbings from the Sengoku Youko episode clip. That episode was the first time he played Tama.
The great enthusiasm of the audience made Takada want to demonstrate Tama for the third time.
At the end of the event, there was also a Q&A session with fans. Fans who managed to answer questions about Sengoku Youko correctly would get an official merchandise pin or a signed Sengoku Youko poster for free. Isn’t that exciting, detikers?
Well, before the event closed, Takada had a message for visitors who came to his special show.
“Those who haven’t watched (Sengoku Youko), should watch it because now is the right time. Now, there are 17 volumes of the manga, there are the first arc and the second arc. As for the anime, there is only the first arc,” he said.
Reportedly, the second part of Sengoku Youko will be released in July 2024. Are you ready to wait, detikers?
