Danganronpa V3: Remnants AU Comic Dub Casting Call
David Schwab for Fuyuhiko Kuzuryuu

Fuyuhiko Kuzuryuu is a character in Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair, and his title is the Ultimate Yakuza. Fuyuhiko is at first glance, very standoffish and rude, having a foul mouth and sharp tongue. At the start of Dr2, he was very distant from the rest of the cast and refused to befriend or spend any time around them, frequently trying to give him the image of a “lone wolf.” And if he was stuck in a conversation with someone, he’d have an irritable and unpleasant attitude when talking, often threatening or being argumentative in his conversations. Sometimes, he’d end up being so riled up he’d threaten to murder someone right then and there (especially with Mikan). He particularly had many arguments with Mahiru because of her stern attitude and refusal to back down from his arguments when they fought. However, after Mahiru’s death and Peko’s execution in chapter 2, after recovering from his injuries when trying to save Peko in her execution, he decided that he wanted to turn over a new leaf and try to become a more essential member for the group. Funnily enough, he ended up taking Mahiru’s role as the “stern older sibling” leadership role. Though he still has his moments of being short-tempered and impulsiveness, he’s one of the group's most loyal members, and when he remains calm and level-headed, he can be very intelligent and logical.
Underneath his tougher personality, he has deep self-esteem issues about his status as his clan’s heir and with his Ultimate title, thinking he isn’t strong on his own and only is by his clan's support. He has strived to be strong on his own and not rely on his family’s status and power to get ahead in life. In his free-time events, he reveals that his goal is to become strong enough so he could lead his family, but not be strong because he leads his family. Due to that, he can be very insecure about his appearance - since people expect him to look like a strong, big, muscular man, while he’s the opposite, other than that he’s male. He especially hates it when people call him “baby-face,” and tries to hide that he has no tattoos like most Yakuza bosses and that he likes sweets. But when spending time with Hajime, he feels like he can reveal and be more comfortable in these traits; and he seems to feel the same way with others he feels he can trust and open his heart to. Despite his status as a Yakuza heir and not being unwilling to frame/murder others, he seems to take trivial/moral codes super seriously, such as attending classes on time and being against underage drinking/driving/sex (so he’s always being critical and on Souda’s case for his flirting with Sonia, and tries to prevent him from doing anything to her while they were all under the aphrodisiacs thanks to Hiyoko).
(CW: Eye removal)
As a remnant, he stood by Peko’s side and murdered countless people during the tragedy - in the final episode of the Despair Arc, the two stood back to back amongst many slaughtered bodies of the Japanese Diet, very much implying they were the culprits. He also seemed to lead a large army of brainwashed subordinates (living to his ultimate talent as the Ultimate Yakuza and being the leader of his own clan in the name of Junko), and was protected by Peko when a few of the Future Foundation members attempt to capture them (alongside fellow classmates and remnants Nekomaru and Akane). It’s also confirmed that he had taken Junko’s right eye after her death, removed his own right eye, and then attached Junko’s eye in his own socket.
This might be an unpopular opinion for most, but out of the voices, his ENG Anime is probably my favorite and most fitting voice for Fuyuhiko! So I think I’m looking for something like that. However, for his more “chill and level-headed” moments, his JPN voice is preferred, and for his more “angry gangster” and tough attitude, his ENG game voice is super good as well!

(His "introduction" at the start of chapter 2, when he decides he wants to make a change and be a part of the group. Have it make seem like he's REAAALLY trying to make a statement, but in his own stern and straightforward way.) "I got something I wanna say! Whatever I say after this point... I apologize in advance if I make a mistake! My last name is Kuzuryu! My first name is pronounced, "Fu-yu-hi-ko"! I'm still an inexperienced member of my family's business! From this point forward, I hope we get along so we can get to know each other better!"
(His final words to Peko. At the start, he's still trying to stay strong and keep it together, but by the very end, he finally breaks down and cries for Peko to stay by his side... even though it's inevitable) "How many times...do you have to keep... I don't need any tools... Jeez... Why don't you get it yet...? You stayed by my side...all this time... Why don't you get it...? I never needed...a sword...or a shield... I never needed...a tool... S-so... You didn't...need to become a tool... You just...you just needed to be yourself... I... I never wanted a tool! I just wanted you! Only you! Wh-Why!? Why couldn't you understand!? We've always been together, ever since we were kids! P-Please Peko! Don't go...! I need you! Don't leave me!"
(Near the end of chapter 6, and deciding to side with Hajime and never give up on the future. He sounds in deep thought, and then a bit more "impressed.") "I'm well aware it might be an act of suicide. There's no telling how this'll play out... But... I...I heard her voice. In fact...I think it was the first time she ever yelled at me... Heh, I can't stand on my own two feet if she keeps treating me like a damn kid!"
