Creators Interview Tidbits
Original Author Tetsuo Hara: I think Kenshiros voice is suited to someone with a good body. Listeners can also tell when the voice is of someone with the same build as Kenshiro. Kurodas voice is genuinely strong, and it is also nice that it bears resemblance to Yusaku Matsuda. I thought it was fate, or that I had met the ideal Kenshiro."
Kenshiro Voice Actor Takaya Kuroda: Fist of the North Star is a very well known work, so I by no means want to destroy the image everyone has of Kenshiro, but at the very least I plan to do Kenshiro faithfully in regard to the authors vision.
Game Producer Daisuke Sato: You can think of it as a mix of the Fist of the North Star and Yakuza worldviews.
