Avatar: The Last Airbender -- The Promise -- Fan Dub, Additional Cast
pokejedservo for Mayor Morishita
Mayor Morishita is a Fire Nation citizen who is responsible for managing the oldest colony established in the Earth Kingdom -- the city of Yu Dao. His wife and daughter are both earthbenders. While the Mayor is a loyal subject of the Fire Lord, he can't help but dress down Zuko over his policy of shutting down colonies. The Mayor's emotions can shift at a moment's notice.
This is a new character who never appeared on the Avatar: The Last Airbender TV series, so the voice is brand new territory. We know that the mayor is old enough to have a teenage daughter (Kori) and seems genuinely concerned about her. He is likely to be from an influential Fire Nation family, since he holds the highest position of political authority in the Fire Nation's oldest and most prosperous colony. Yet he is independent enough to have married a woman from the Earth Kingdom. While Mayor Morishita's role in the story is fairly small, it is pivotal.
(seeing his daughter -- probably for the first time in several days)
Kori! Where have you been?! Your mother and I were worried sick!
(beat)
Wait -- who are these men?! What are these chains?(learning that his daughter had traveled to the Fire Nation capital and attacked Fire Lord Zuko)
My sincerest apologies for my daughter's rash behavior, Fire Lord! Have mercy!
(unable to hide his anger and disgust and Zuko's policy of shutting down Fire Nation colonies and removing colonists from the Earth Kingdom)
You're right, Fire Lord! We are Fire Nation citizens! And I'll tell you this -- your father would never have let the Avatar and the Earth King bully him into something so obviously bad for his own nation's citizens!
