Ookiku Furikabutte or THE BIG WIND UP

Hey everybody,

Good to be voicing on Animax again. I landed the role of Abe Takaya in the hit series Ookiku Furikabutte. I hope you all enjoy my performance as much as I enjoyed working on it.

Abe is an interesting character who seems to be caught between being manly and being sensitive. Especially when dealing with his nervous wreck of a pitcher. He has to learn to be strong and sensitive to take advantage of Mihashi’s (The Pitcher) great pitching potential.

It’s really nice to see Abe act like a big brother - even peer counselor - for Mihashi - and as a result help bring him out of his terrified shell of shy self consciousness. Indeed this series captured High School sports and friendships quite well and we may find ourselves hearkening back to our own days in High School ... :-)

Anyhow - Enjoy the show!

Play Ball!!!!
