YouTube Infuencer Crosses Over Into Anime Voice Gig
Tribe Nine is an anime currently running through its first season on Funimation. Set in Neo-Tokyo, it’s about the disillusioned youth of the future who form tribes that battle each other in a sport that’s sort of like baseball but more “extreme.” When other tribes start falling at the hands of a mysterious opponent, Tribe Nine (consisting of protagonists Haru Shirogane, Taiga, and Shun Kamiya the “strongest man in the world”) decide they must find a way to defeat him.
In the next few episodes of Tribe Nine, you may hear a voice that sounds a bit familiar (that is, if you’re watching the dub version). It’s not your imagination…the musician and YouTuber who calls himself Corpse Husband has landed a real voice acting position on the show. He’s playing masked antagonist Oujiro Otori, leader of Chiyoda Triibe. Otori believes winning is everything and will stop at nothing to achieve his goals. He was trained by the leader of Neo Tokyo, Tenshin, at a young age and will be a formidable opponent for Tribe Nine.
