Danganronpa V3: Remnants AU Comic Dub Casting Call
Random Opportunist for Teruteru Hanamura
(CW: S*xual harassment, drugging)
Teruteru Hanamura is a character in Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair, and his title is the Ultimate Cook - though he prefers to be called the “Ultimate Chef.” Teruteru is notorious for being very openly sexual and lewd, almost always seen hitting on someone (regardless of gender, and is confirmed that he does swing both ways. Not an excuse for his behavior) that borders the lines of sexual harassment. He even sometimes goes as far as to touch others without consent, taking advantage of those gullible or not getting sexual inuendos and may even drug people’s food he’d served (excluding the incident in Dr3 with the “sexy soup,” which was caused by Hiyoko - according to Kodaka himself, these behaviors were more frequent in Dr2, and toned down significantly in Dr3, because he knew them as classmates before the tragedy, while his memories were wiped in Dr2). When he isn’t doing any of these things, Teruteru seems to be at least pretty friendly, and even a bit upbeat. Teruteru takes pride in his talent as the Ultimate Cook/Chef, hoping his skills as a cook will help out with his sickly mother and see people’s smile when they enjoy his food, but he tends to get this goal a bit clouded away with his desire for fame and fortune. He tends to talk a bit big about himself, to the point of making up lies about his home life - he wants to build up an image of a stylish urban chef, in contrast to his actual home life in the countryside. What doesn’t change about his past - his mom. She was part of the reason he wanted to become a cook in the first place. With that said, he takes cooking very seriously. While he has his kinder moments, he can get pretty snarky and jokingly sarcastic (however, these moments are pretty rare). When put under stressful situations, Teruteru can become very timid and cowardly, often falling into denial while terrifying situations occur and trying to avoid any mentions of it. Whenever he feels angry or upset, his speech and dialect begin to change into an incomprehensible country-like accent. In the JPN version, his accent became so strong that it was very difficult for other Japanese speakers to understand what he was saying. In the ENG version, Teruteru’s standard American-English accent shifts into a heavily southern accent, to the point that the other characters couldn't understand what he was saying.
(CW: C*nnibalism)
As a remnant, Teruteru would inject poison into his food to serve to starving people, and then kill them with the poisoned food he’d create, masking himself as being a good citizen feeding innocent victims. It’s also theorized that because the remnants target their families to feel immense despair, it’s speculated that Remnant!Teruteru killed and cooked his mother, and ate her afterwards. Yeah.. dark shit. :)
I think both voices fit for Teruteru! So either interpretation for him is fine! The only note I’ll have is that I’m looking for someone who can be able to pull off a good Southern accent.

(Teruteru's introduction. Have him sound a bit flirty at the end) "My name is Teruteru Hanamura. On the streets, I'm known as the Ultimate Cook... But could you guys call me the Ultimate Chef instead? It has more of a...big-city flavor to it, ya know? Mmhmhm, I hope we get along well."
(Have Teruteru sound earnest and genuinely passionate at the start, then slowly mold into him growing a bit more silent as hig he was going into deep thought into what he was saying... and when he does, sound like he's reached an epiphany). "Just because a dish is gorgeous and uses first-rate ingredients doesn't mean everyone will like it. Tastes change depending on likes and dislikes...feelings and emotions...memories and perception... It depends on each person to determine what they believe is tasty... I didn't really want...the sparkling city-life or my stunning success... I just...I just wanted to cook for someone important to me. My cooking was just...for the sake of making the person most important to me...smile... Why did I forget something as important as this...?"
(During the 1st trial, and his breakdown where his accent shifts) "Oooooh, what're y'all even sayin' anymore?! I'm tellin' ya I was in dat dere dinin' hall durin' da blackou'! I-I sure was... I was dere da whoooole damn time...!" (brief pause since Saionji asks where he's from.) "Ooooh, I was born 'n West Azabu and raised 'n South Aoyama!"
