#Akira Nakao

[astoundingbeyondbelief]

Actor Akira Nakao died on May 16 at the age of 81. He appeared in six Godzilla films, first as the bellicose Colonel Takaaki Aso in the final three Heisei entries, then Prime Minister Hayato Igarashi in the Kiryu duology, and finally the original Gotengo commander in Godzilla Final Wars. (That turned out to be a fitting sendoff - after years of sitting in meetings and control rooms, he got to take on Godzilla in the field.) He served the same role as Jun Tazaki in the 60s Toho kaiju films: an instantly recognizable authority figure. May he rest in peace.

Summary:

In the distant past, the Guardian of the Milky Way galaxy named Lanancuras began to harbor a desire for more power. Because of his connection to the galaxy, he was able to absorb parts of planets and add them to his strength. As a result, he began invading the worlds he was assigned to protect. In the wake of his destruction, a following of creatures from across the galaxy pledged allegiance to Lanancuras and became known as the Kadrians. Taking notice of his ever-growing power and followers, the other Celestial Guardians confronted him; however, he had become too powerful, and they were defeated. Unable to subdue Lanancuras, the Celestial Guardians each gave up a part of their power and combined it into a single new Guardian, Mushra. In a final desperate attempt, they used Mushra's core by transforming it into a powerful card with which to seal Lanancuras in a prison. The prison was created from the remains of planets that had suffered under Lanancuras' tyranny. Because planets are themselves large beings, their combined strength (along with the power of the card) was able to restrain him. Thus Lanancuras was successfully sealed in a large meteorite.

The meteorite was sent off into the galaxy to be sealed forever. Meanwhile, the way Lanancuras had increased his strength had consequences on the planets of the Milky Way On Earth, around the 22nd century, it was in the shape of a virus that merged with human DNA and destroyed the humans that way. In order to eliminate the virus, scientists worked on combining human DNA with the DNA of animals and other creatures immune to the effects. They succeeded and created a sentient race known as Enterrans (a race of engineered Earthlings) which are based on humans, insects, reptiles, birds, sea creatures, wild beasts, and phantom beasts. Eventually, a cure was found and the human race survived.

However, due to Lanancuras' influence, the Enterrans fought their human creators as well as the robots that worked with the humans, driving the human race to a near extinction state. Luckily, a scientist named Dr. Daigo Tatsuro placed his 4-year-old daughter Yakumo in a sleep chamber in hopes that she would save the human race and find the human sanctuary Shinzo and bring peace back to Earth which was then renamed to Enterra. When the meteor that Lanancuras was imprisoned in struck Earth during the earlier parts of the Human-Enterran War, its fragment had struck an infant Yakumo giving her abilities that she would later discover.

Main character voice claims

((So I've been busy on the background, building the characters' profiles and whatnot and part of that is delving into finding voice claims for everyone. Finding English ones are a little tricky as I am more at home in Japanese, so right, a lot of characters only have Japanese voice actors assigned to them.

Duke - Chō - Mostly known for Brooke from One Piece, but I personally think Mogamett from Magi is more fitting. You can listen to his voice here!

Slate - Kazuya Nakai - Zoro from One Piece or Mugen from Samurai Champloo. Listen here!

Lucky - Yasunori Matsumoto - Jean Havoc from the first FMA anime or more specifically, Charlie Airstar from Rockman.EXE. Listen here!

Bright - Hirata Hiroaki - Sanji from One Piece or more specifically, Keith Flick from B The Beginning. Listen here!

Peony - Akira Ishida - Yunan from Magi. Listen here!

Chip - Kaji Yuuki - Eren from Attack on Titan or more specifically, Alibaba from Magi. Listen here!

Silly - Ishihara Kaori - Aladdin from Magi. They may not talk out loud a lot, but they do have a voice <3 Listen here!

Destiny - Michiko Neya - Riza Hawkeye from the first FMA anime or Queen Otohime from One Piece.

Fate - Shotaro Morikubo - Sharrkan from Magi. Listen here!

Turmoil - Ryuusei Nakao - Caesar Clown from One Piece. Listen here!

Akira Nakao did a series of ads for a Godzilla chair in 1995, playing Colonel Aso, his character from the Heisei films. He got silly with it.

Disclaimers: I haven't checked if all the works are labeled properly (i.e. using / strictly for romantic relationships and & strictly for platonic relationships), and I excluded crossovers, OCs, unnamed non-speaking characters, and reader pairings

Also, if you like rare pairings, here's a plug for my current fic: Bloom Within Us, which includes three extremely rare pairings (not tagged on ao3 because they're spoilers). One has only one other work (and it's mistagged!), and the other two have no other works!

Bloom Within Us is a canon divergence where Tohru died after falling from the cliff, and everyone else has to figure out a way forward without her.

Part Two

[borispfeiffer]

NEU im Verlag Akademie-der-Abenteuer Anita RehmMit einem Koffer voller Sehnsucht nach Berlin Was treibt Menschen dazu ihre Heimat zu verlassen, um in eine ungewisse Zukunft nach Berlin aufzubrechen? Dieser Frage ist Anita Rehm in Gesprächen mit zwölf Künstlerinnen und Künstlern aus verschiedenen Ländern und Arbeitsbereichen nachgegangen. Mit ihrem Handy als Fotoapparat und dem Notizblock in der Hand, ist die Berliner Journalistin und Autorin losgezogen und hat Kunstschaffende in Berlin besucht, über die sie in den 80er Jahren bereits einmal Fernsehreportagen erstellt hatte. Auf ihren Streifzügen sind ein paar neue Gesichter dazugestoßen und mit allen hat Anita Rehm sich unterhalten und die Gespräche samt einiger Schnappschüsse anschließend zu Papier gebracht. Sie erfuhr die spannenden Beweggründe und Geschichten der Bildhauerin Aysegül Eren aus Istanbul, der Malerin SOOKI Koeppel aus Korea, den Malern mit iranischen Wurzeln Kani Alavi, Yadgar Asisi, Akbar Behkalam und Maghsoud Fallahi, von Abuzer Güler aus der Türkei, Hieronimus J. Ceckiewcz aus Polen, Pavel Feinstein aus Moskau, Akira Nakao aus Japan, der Filmemacherin und Schauspielerin Sema Poyraz und dem Schauspieler und Regisseur Tayfun Bademsoy, beide in der Türkei geboren. Aus den Gesprächen ist ein kontrastreiches Mosaik dessen entstanden, was die Künstlerinnen und Künstler bis heute in Berlin geschaffen haben und wie sie den Kunstbetrieb durch ihr Wirken bereichern. Ein Buch voller Blicke in Leben und Ateliers, ein Eintauchen in die vielfältige Welt Berlins. https://www.verlag-akademie-der-abenteuer.de/Buecher-fuer-Erwachsene/Erzaehltes-Leben/
