Banana Fish English Fandub
Kevin GarciaVO for Ash Lynx
Age: 17
Nationality: American (His dad was Irish immigrant, so he has a faint Irish accent)
Voice sample: Here (contains mild spoilers but nothing major, includes some audition lines)
Cursed by his captivating beauty and light green eyes, many people are drawn to him and have taken advantage of him for most of his life. He was taken in by Golzine of the New York Mafia when he was young and forced to live a horrid life. By age 17, he became a gang leader of downtown NYC.
He is perceived as a ruthless cold killer, his charismatic nature and natural beauty captivate those around him and makes him a constant target.
Ash’s true nature, however, is his kind-heartedness and deep love and consideration for his gang members and friends. He will do anything to protect those closest to him, this is especially true for Eiji, who’s the first person to treat Ash as a normal person and care for him. Eiji’s innocent and caring nature allows Ash to open up and be the young teenage boy that he could never be growing up in the dark streets.
Traits: Intelligent, cunning, resourceful, loyal, brave, strong-willed, stubborn, reckless at times
Accent: He should have a Mid-Western and New York accent hybrid. The New York accent is noticeable but not too thick.
Voice: Smooth, clear, charming. He usually has a distant coldness to his voice when speaking to strangers and adults, especially Dino. He addresses his friends with a more playful, relaxed tone. Take special note of the tone he uses when he is speaking to Eiji. He uses a familiar and gentle tone, one that reflects his fondness of Eiji and how much he cares about him.

(Talking to his gang and giving them orders firmly.)
You guys gather as much info as you can. The number of men, their races. Who the bosses are, their hideouts. But be careful. Remember that you’re in danger, too. Stay alert!
(To a prisoner that previously assaulted him, there are two others on the sidelines. Ash has the upper hand) (see voice sample link 0:09-0:46)
I told you that it was just that once. [Holds fork to his neck] You strangling me, or me stabbing your throat. Who do you think is quicker?
(This next scene shows Ash’s more innocent and vulnerable side that he only shows to Eiji.)
This stinks too. Do Japanese people only eat stinky food? I’m in the middle of my growth spurt. Not like some old geezer. What’s wrong, “big bro”? You’d have to go back 15 years if you want to beat me up.
