Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth GAME FANDUB
xPLAYn for Takumi Aiba
Role Description
Takumi is what I would describe as a semi-silent protagonist. He does technically talk– but oftentimes his words are echoed to us through another character. I.e. We see Takumi moving his lips, and then another character will say “Why am I doing ___? Oh that’s simple.”
He does still have a decent amount of lines due to being present in the entire game, as well as the choices the player has to make being voiced.
I’d imagine a youthful yet relaxed voice for him, as he is comparatively cool & collected, albeit not without his hot-headed moments. Medium to High Pitch.
Character Description
Takumi is a 17-year-old student with a strong sense of protectiveness. As such, when he found out that Nokia, someone he’d only met on an online forum, was going to try and meet a hacker, he did not hesitate to join her. During said encounter, Takumi’s Digivice got hacked and the “Digimon Capture Program” got installed on it, leading to an adventure full of Digimon, Hackers, and most importantly, friends.
When he, Nokia, and Arata first go to Kowloon– the main platform for hackers to communicate– they get attacked by a malicious program called an “EATER”. While Arata attempted to open an exit gate, Takumi shielded his two new friends, fending the eater off until they managed to escape. Then, he attempted to escape himself– but right as he went through the gate, the eater got to him, eating his data… But not all of it. Only his body’s data was consumed, leaving him stranded in the real world, a mass of Zeroes and Ones, of data. Kyoko Kuremi, a detective, helped him– and now, he works for her in an attempt to find a way to regain his physical body.

[Serious, but in a comedic way.] Arata. Please, listen to what I’m about to say, okay? No matter what Kyoko tells you, no matter how sweet she sounds– do not try her coffee. It’s the spawn of the devil, and I know that sounds like an exaggeration, but it’s not.
[Reassuring] I don’t think so! You’re an incredible leader! How many other Hacker Teams can say that they’ve gathered this many members in, what, a week? If you keep this up, we’ll be competing with Zaxon in no time!
[The big final fight has just begun. Determined.] I don’t care what you say! We’ve all made it through so much these past few months… So even if it means that we might not get out of here in one piece, I don’t care! I’m gonna stop you!
