Danganronpa V3: Remnants AU Comic Dub Casting Call
scarydogfriend for Kyoko Kirigiri
Kyoko Kirigiri is a character in Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc, and her title is the Ultimate Detective. Aloof and mysterious, Kyoko is a young woman who tends to keep her feelings to herself at almost all times - this was because of how closed-off and strict her grandfather was when he raised her, even to the point of not saying goodbye to her deceased mom and raised to dislike her father, implanting the idea that their detective work should always come first. Though she never agreed with this “family tradition,” it still caused her to become very distant and quiet as she grew up. As a detective, she’s able to keep a calm demeanor and stay unfazed when discovering a dead body, and her keen intellect makes her a key member during class trials. Before becoming friends with Naegi, she was completely closed off from her classmates - she’d usually work and investigate by herself, and try to limit interactions at most so she stays focused on the task at hand. However, as she worked together alongside Makoto more and more, slowly but surely opens up and began expressing more positive emotions when around him or her fellow surviving classmates. Sure, she remains her usual stoic and reserved self when around others, but she has come a long way from how she was before. Apparently, she tries to hide her emotions behind a sort of “mask” as a way so she isn’t easy to read for others, and to give the people she meets a calm and composed role model to lean on when needed. That being said, she can sometimes let this mask slip when she feels her emotions get the best of her - especially if her friends are trying to keep secrets from her.
In the THH Remnant AU, Kiri is essentially the second-in-command for Junko, and the de facto leader of the remnants when Junko dies in the killing game with the 77th class (yep, class 77 and class 78 essentially swap places here!) However, she isn’t as focused on spreading despair like her classmates - her main goal? To take down the Future Foundation - the remnant’s top tier enemy. She’s less hands-on unlike most of the others, usually manipulating and controlling things in the shadows and background, keeping her identity very low so she doesn’t get caught.
I definitely think the deeper and more stoic voice like in the ENG version of the game fits her the most well, but when it comes to being around Makoto or her friends, I think something close to her ENG anime voice and JPN game voice fits super well also!

(Reminiscing about Sakura’s death, seemingly mournful and thankful for Sakura’s sacrifice, but still remaining almost entirely calm, collected, and stoic) "She didn't end her own life because she was weak. Quite the opposite, in fact... She was strong. *Too* strong. That's why she killed herself. She chose death for herself in order to protect the rest of us. To sacrifice so much... No normal person could do that. It was only her limitless strength that made it possible."
(Speaking to Naegi in DR3, in an encouraging and heartwarming way to help him feel better about his title as the Ultimate Hope) "The power of the words you believed became everyone's hope, right? It became my hope. Have confidence in yourself. Isn't that little bit of optimism what's great about you? Hope is infectious. If your power isn't enough, we're here for you. Everyone is behind you, Naegi. No matter what happens, don't give up on hope. I shall always be by your side."
(Remnant Kyoko threatening a “despaired” Makoto, who attempted to escape - sound stoic and cold, but also sinister and venomous as if she’d kill him right then and there) “Listen here, Makoto Naegi. You’re lucky to be alive right now. If it were up to me at this point, I’d have you dead a while ago - I can tell you won’t fall into Junko Enoshima’s despair anytime soon, no matter what she or the others say… but you’re very lucky that they want you alive… heh, guess that worthless talent does have some truth in it after all… but let me make this clear for you… try to escape from us again… I will not hesitate for the others to hunt you down and return you to me as a corpse.”
