SK8 The Infinity Fandub
Project Overview
What is this
This is going to be a Fandub of the popular anime series, SK8 The Infinity
General Summary
High school student Reki Kyan is passionate about one thing: skateboarding. When night falls, he heads to "S," an illegal underground race inside a mine where skaters compete in highly dangerous situations. After a loss that results in his skateboard being destroyed and his arm being broken, Reki is now incapable of practicing at all.While working, Reki runs into his new classmate, Langa Hasegawa, a half-Canadian and half-Japanese boy with no skateboarding experience whatsoever. Langa is in desperate need of money. After they both visit "S" when tasked by Reki's boss, they get into trouble and are forced into a bet that requires Langa to skate in a race. However, the mysterious transfer student holds a trump card that Reki is unaware of, one which might help him win the race in the most unexpected way.

Of course, I'm sure that for many, that's what happiness is. But none of them are my happiness. I know... ...what my happiness is!
Oh, no duct tape! You almost died, remember?
So? How do you feel after nailing your first ollie?

It was fun. It was really fun, indeed. In the beginning. But.. everyone disappeared. The better you become.. they all disappear in the end anyway.
Don't group me up with all those slimes and trolls.
That's reckless! That's too fast!
Hiromi Higa (比嘉ひが 広ひろ海み Higa Hiromi?), known in "S" as Shadow (シャドウ Shadō?), is a character in the SK8 the Infinity anime series. He's an "S" skater who's known for his rowdiness and violence within the race, but who's known for his kindness and serviceability in the flower shop he works at.
Hiromi lives something of a double life. During the day, he works at a florist's shop where he is kind to the customers and maintains a positive energy. He is always willing to assist his boss, no matter the task. In the evening, he participates in "S" as Lord Shadow, the self-proclaimed anti-hero of the "S" races. In contrast to his florist persona, Hiromi is arrogant and rude under the guise of Shadow, aiming to entertain the crowd with his tricks. He is shown thriving on the attention of onlookers as early as the first episode. It's no surprise that after his defeat at the hands of a rookie Langa, Hiromi is visibly upset as he reads the social media mocking him and supporting Langa. As upset as he is, however, he sets those emotions aside while at the florist's shop to maintain his perfect employee persona.

They say the main act comes last!
My life is on the line in this tournament!
How's that? I'm fast even if I skate normally!
Kaoru Sakurayashiki (桜屋敷さくらやしき 薫かおる Sakurayashiki Kaoru?), known in "S" as Cherry Blossom (チェリーブロッサム Cherīburossamu?), is a character in the SK8 the Infinity anime series. A skilled skater and founding member of "S", he uses his AI board to skate in a calculated and logical fashion.
Kaoru is a calm intellectual, well-known even outside of "S" as a famous and successful AI calligrapher. He's been shown to treat clients and strangers with polite respect,[5] but is often prickly towards those closest to him, most prominently his fellow "S" member and childhood friend Kojiro Nanjo. Kaoru often loses composure when dealing with Kojiro, perhaps due to their contrasting personalities, and the two usually end up bickering and calling each other names whenever they disagree on something.
Kaoru is also notably competitive when skateboarding, always wanting to beat Kojiro during races and beefs and even getting Carla to record his time during the tournament preliminaries to see how it measured up to Adam's.

No problem. I simply have to keep winning.
I'm working right now, you dimwit.
Shut up, half-wit!
Kojiro Nanjo (南なん城じょう 虎次こじ郎ろう Nanjō Kojirō?), known in "S" as Joe (ジョー Jō?), is a character in the SK8 the Infinity anime series. A skilled skater and founding member of "S", he uses his unique build and stature to skate in an aggressive, movement-orientated fashion.
In "S", Joe seems to be a playboy who likes to charm and have fun with many women. This is shown at the beginning of Episode 1 when he kisses 2 girls simultaneously, and episodes later, he is seen flirting with countless girls.
Despite his aura of hostility towards Cherry Blossom, they are good friends who have the utmost trust in each other and their abilities. He is shown to deeply care for Kaoru, being the person Kaoru sneaks out of the hospital for after he's injured, and the one who carried Kaoru when he passed out after Adam's attack. Kojiro & Kaoru have been shown to be close, using each other's first names alongside the childhood friends aspect. Kojiro is extremely loyal to Kaoru and likewise for Kaoru.

Adam is currently skating all by himself. He's an amazing skater, but I'm sure he's not happy right now. That's why his skating ends up that way. But you know, we're not alone. Right, Kaoru?
I make the rules inside this restaurant, you cheapskate four-eyes.
Skating is all about a feeling, you know what I mean?
Ainosuke Shindo (神しん道どう 愛あい之の介すけ Shindō Ainosuke?), known in "S" as Adam (愛ア抱ダ夢ム Adamu?), is a character in the SK8 the Infinity anime series. He is a politician who leads a double life as a skilled "S" skateboarder and serves as the main antagonist of the series.
While skating, Adam is very confident in his own skills and ruthless towards his opponents, with no concern if he causes injuries indirectly or personally using physical violence. He's very flamboyant with his actions, creating an over-dramatized persona for the audience of "S".[7] He views skating as a "ritual of love" which goes hand in hand with his theme and persona. Adam shows disregard and disrespect for anyone that doesn't interest him personally at "S", including founders like Cherry and Joe, who he previously was friends with. Ainosuke maintains a calm and collected appearance outside of "S" and has a career in politics. To the public eye they see him as a well-liked man with strong morals. But, in the private eye he is involved in shady and corrupt dealings under the advice of his aunts, who appear to run his life for him.

Do you think you can win against me?
As of now, I would like to determine the one human who loves skating the most
A dog cannot disobey his owner.
Tadashi Kikuchi (菊池きくち 忠ただし Kikuchi Tadashi?), known in "S" as Snake (スネーク Sunēku?), is a character from the SK8 the Infinity anime series. He is Ainosuke Shindo's secretary and the person who originally taught him to skate.
In "S", he is in charge of managing the baseball capped men behind the scenes.
During the series, Tadashi seems to display a formal and professional attitude in front of Adam, just like a normal secretary. He also displayed a calm demeanor, even when Adam referred to him as a 'dog' due to his position as an obedient servant.
Tadashi is unable to display his dissatisfaction with his treatment in the Shindo household. He seems like the person Adam trusted the most, enough to let him know about secret races like "S" and Ainosuke's identity as Adam.

If I win, I will have you renounce skateboarding, Mr. Ainosuke.
I will win against you.
You may have forgotten, but I was the one who taught you how to skate.
Shokichi Oka (岡おか 正しょう吉きち Oka Shōkichi?) is the manager of the skateboarding shop DOPE SKETCH, where Reki Kyan and Langa Hasegawa work.
Although he is the manager at Dope Sketch, Oka still appears to genuinely care about the wellbeing of his employees, especially Reki. He can be serious, as shown when he brings up Reki's injuries after a beef with SHADOW and when he forbids Reki to take on a job while injured, instead asking Langa to go. At the same time, he demonstrates that he isn't afraid to be dramatic and tell jokes, such as when he led Reki and Langa to believe that the reason he couldn't deliver a package was due to needing to work to pay off Dope Sketch's debt. In reality, the reason he couldn't go was most likely because he had a date, but he was amused the Reki had been gullible enough to buy his lie.

I'll talk to the owner.
That was simply jumping over a twig, right?
That doesn't mean you're hired yet.
Kiriko Kamata (鎌かま田た 貴き理り子こ Kamata Kiriko?) is a police inspector and the person in charge of Ainosuke Shindo's political corruption case.
Kiriko is a stern woman, a trait is befitting of someone in her line of work, and is shown to have a strong sense of justice and belief in the work she puts in for the criminal system. It appears her aim is to see through that all criminal and illegal activity she encounters is terminated and the details brought to light, no matter who the culprit may be.
Due to this professional attitude, she seems to dislike less strict people such as Ainosuke Shindo, and is visibly creeped out when he deflects her accusations with flirtatiousness.

No. It's thanks to your leaks, Superintendent Matsumura.
Justice should be executed equally.
I'm not letting Mr. Shindo get away with a false testimony during the assembly.
