Erik Scott Kimerer | Thursday, 07.06.2023

Some of my favorite anime guys down below are voiced by Erik Scott Kimerer (happy birthday), including:

Haruyuki Arita - Accel World (2013)

Ryuji Takasu - Toradora! (2014)

Speed-O-Sound Sonic - One Punch Man (2016)

Ayato Amagiri - The Asterisk War (2016)

[electricea]

@verratensduo sent - Eren knocked on Ryuji’s door and ducked to the side still keeping the cake in his hands, but leaving his dog Titan in front of the door for one heck of a surprise.

( Ryuji's Birthday 2023! )

"A-A dog...?!"

He freezes in place at the sight of the dog, unsure as to whether or not he should pet it or even approach it. Had someone gotten him a dog for his birthday...?! Or was this some trick...?!

"W-Whose dog is this...?!"

[fatexbound]

"My stomach's ready for cake! Lemme have it!"

[houseplant-unicorn]

Happy Birthday Ryuji !!

Hope you enjoy your new ear-piercings!

[epitomees]

"Mannnn ya thought I would've forgot, huh? I might've not been able to make it to the party like expected. Buuuut! C'mon man, the other day was ya big day! Take a bit of this!" Presented to her would be a freshly bought shirt that had an action oriented scene from the 'Yakuza' series draw on the front, topped with epic poses and all. Yet, another surprise would be within a shirt as the 'Like a Dragon' video game would also be tucked inside. "Happy belated birthday there Makoto. Let's make it a year of new fun for the both of us here."

"You? Forgetting something as important as a friend's birthday? I knew you weren't able to make it, but something told me you already had different plans in mind." The social atmosphere didn't feel the same without Ryuji's infectious vivacity. His animated gestures, loud shouts, but more importantly his overabundant enthusiasm, always added that extra dose of carefree contentment to their little band of thieves. Even Mona appeared rather distraught without the blonde's presence, or engaging in their usual bout of playful banter.

It didn't last too long, however, when the 'not-a-cat' began eyeing up the more fishy appetizers. Thinking with one's stomach in mind drove a person, or in this instance any animal, into a insatiable frenzy.

Overall, though, success and good laughs were spread plenty around the café. Full stomachs too, filled with sweet birthday cake and delectable treats one only ever tasted around these times of the year. Speaking of that...

"We did leave you a few slices of the cake since you couldn't make it." Or before Yusuke decided to sneakily steal the rest of the leftovers before walking out the door. "And some other treats too. I wanted to make sure you indulged on Akira's cooking too." Just as Ryuji didn't forget, Makoto kept the brash blonde in mind even while enjoying herself. And it seemed he surely did not neglect in finding a gift to make up for his absence.

"...ooooh!!" Her demeanor changed drastically, shifting away from the normal upstanding, polite posture to that of a little kid receiving a present they specifically asked their parents to buy. Crimson colors sparkled with a sense of joy, wonderment, and absolute giddy not just because of the shirt, but the secondary item tucked beneath the folds.

"And the game too!? Wow...I mean..." Calm down now! The excitement suddenly swelled within, and without Makoto having much control over its expanding growth she couldn't keep it contained. The wave crashed down, bursting outward in abundance all at once, and swallowing those just nearby as well. "..ummmm...well, I guess this means I uh...have to buy a console to play this on, right!?" From exhilaration to nervousness, it rode its course which left the brunette feeling slightly exhausted. But still, extremely happy.

"Why don't we head over to Akihibara now? You seem so adamant on spending the day with me, we may as well use our time to make it a little trip."

[tenebriism]

The search for the perfect present took a long time. Many evenings of passing up on the invitation to hang out with some lame excuse of having to help out at home, or having and insane sesh' at the gym. But, Ryuji persisted. An easy out would have been art supplies, right? Too many chances of doubling up and though the artist would certainly be appreciative it just wasn't good enough. Epiphany struck whilst wandering in the arcade one afternoon just when he thought he'd have to cheap out with a gift card for ramen. In the crane game, there it was. A lobster. A ridiculously sized, bright red plush crustacean. A callback to the trip to the beach not too long ago. What happened to those he'd bought, well. Ryuji didn't want to think too much upon but, surely they were no longer amongst the living.

Fifteen long plays later, and alongside store bought blue ribbon, the giant stuffed animal is presented after school on Yusuke's birthday with a burning sensation addling his cheeks.

"You better still like these things." He gives a shaky laugh. "Happy birthday, dude."

Amongst the few things Yusuke tended to forget, his birthday, a rather monumental occasion to most, was amongst them. It was not that he HATED the annual reminder of the day he'd first seen light from his dearly departed mother's womb, but rather, that there were so many OTHER things that held far more importance in his mind than a day that, really, never got much attention. He'd never had a birthday party, never gone out and celebrated the occasion in the past, and suspected this year would be no different.

He would spend it doing homework, or putting brush to easel, as he ALWAYS did, and mayhap treat himself to a small, cheap snack, SHOULD he happen to remember before the clock struck midnight and ushered in the next day.

Understandably, then, when he meets up with Ryuji under the assumption that it would be another ROUTINE night in, he's confused when a gift is extended towards him. Confused up until the flustered athlete wishes him a happy day of birth, and then -- THEN -- it hits him.

" It is my birthday . . . " A pause, as eyes widen, " . . . it IS my birthday ! And you have not only remembered, but gone out of your way to bring me such an adorable gift. " Beaming, as skinny arms extend to take the plush sea creature, he pulls it up against his chest and buries his face into it, a baritone chuckle muffled within the obstructing outer shell of the oversized toy.

" I shall name it . . . Ryuji Lobstermoto. "

Hands that have held many a tool of artistry brush along the exterior of his newest companion. Considering the way he looks ready to take a nice, LONG nap atop his bed, curled up with this cherished gift in his arms, it's evident he was NOT joking. It shall, indeed, be named Ryuji Lobstermoto. " Thank you, love. "

But, of course, he cannot allow the HUMAN Ryuji off without a showing of thanks. Yusuke shuffles in close, ensuring the lobster in his arms would not pose risk of colliding with Ryuji's lovable face, and leans in to pepper his beloved's face in several kisses. " That you would know me well enough to procure me such a unique, personal gift delights my heart beyond words. I love you. "

To give you some more perspective:

The oldest confirmed Persona user (Boafu) is 33 years and 9 months older than the youngest (Sumi).

Tohru Adachi is just two years the Persona 2: Innocent Sin cast's junior.

Katsuya Suou is turning 50 next year (2023).

The only confirmed S.E.E.S. members that are not yet in their 30s (this 2022) is Junpei, Ken, and maybe Koromaru [if he's still around which I hope so].

Sojiro Sakura might be the same generation as the Persona 2: Eternal Punishment cast.

Ryotaro Dojima (1970) is the same generation as the P2:EP cast and is three years younger than Boafu, and three years older than Katsuya.

Reiji Kido's child is probably the same age as Ken Amada and the Phantom Thieves.

Please send in any additions or corrections! I'll edit this the list if necessary.

"Why don't you take one of the 'P' ones? For Pari, my good friend and awesome gift giver!"
