Danganronpa Kirigiri Cast Designs - Victims of the 12 Duel Noir Challenge

For twelve of these guys, hard to believe most of them lack in the image department. So NAI was used to correct that, creating most of them base off their novel descriptions, with a few exceptions. Also did end up using the DR tag for some.

Korisu Kakitsubata

“Technically, one could count her as having art since she did appear as a sihloutte in volume 3. Buuuut, silhouette’s aren’t much compared to the full body art the other cast gets. Originally, had trouble with getting her to look suitably like a party girl, but of the variations think is the best one for it.”

--

--

Toru Uchida

“A friend called him a generic isekai protagonist. Given how he’s supposed to look pretty average...I’d say its fitting!~”

-

Hironori Hari

“One of the least intimidating Victim gets a badass generation? More likely than you think. Don’t let it fool you. Guy still pretty ‘eh’ through and through.”

-

Kaei Kuchiki

“NAI hates generating good, decent looking, old people so his was quite hassle to get through prior to figuring out I needed to add ‘Danganronpa’ to the mix. Like his out there beard and hair”

-

Otsuko Kuchiki

“Otsuko, and Seika, are notable for only having ‘is a girl’ as their description in DRK. So...had to improvise. My favorite part is how she’s wearing her jacket.”

-

Seika Kumano

“Now, my pal at @drmedicsgamesurgery​ actually gave a unique description for Seika on this one....however for the life of me, aside from the hair and shades, I can’t replicate it kin there. I’m sorry ;_;. So think of this like an alt, where I tried for a detective vibe as much as possible. Love the fedora.”

-

Tatsutora Oboro

“Definitely feels the part of a man that would get involved in wacky family antics. At his side is supposed to be his gun, but NAI can’t replicate guns for shite so...yeah.”

-

Shiro’o Shima

“No description so had to improvise. The main idea running in my head was that the guy would be badly battered after getting muffed. Thus the mummy man you see here.”

-

Gunzo Arai and Kariyasu Karasuba

“Unlike the others, these guys were finished much faster...mostly since I couldn’t really bear to give these guys more generations than what they’re worth XD. Always picuted Arai as having that kinda colored hair and like how it captured Kariyasu’s instability.

Detective Pikachu & The Mystery of the Missing Flan Short Review - The Cutest Mystery Short

Why does Pokemon keep releasing these shorts on a short notice? I was only informed of this because I saw this on my subscription box on Youtube and then my friend was asking if I saw it. So, I sat down and decided to watch it and…it was adorable. Maybe it’s because I’ve been watching Ron Kamonohashi’s Forbidden Deductions lately, but I’m falling for the mystery genre recently. Maybe it’s the reason why I enjoyed this short a lot.

It’s very short and simple. It’s basically Detective Pikachu and Tim Goodman trying to solve the mystery of Tim’s missing flan. The flan was in the refrigerator yet it disappeared within hours. Tim had initially pinned Munchlax as the culprit, but its only crime was stealing his banana. The way the duo used observation and gathered clues to find the culprit was nice to see. It’s simple and to the point.

The animation seems a bit different from the games. Pikachu and Munchlax look like they’re handmade plushes while Tim Goodman looks a bit different than he does in the game. Applin looks the best, honestly. It’s not plushy, but it looks like a ceramic apple. I think it’s really good for a rather simple short like this. I’d like to see more shorts animated like this.

I don’t know much about Detective Pikachu, but I can see their personalities well from this short alone. Pikachu is confident. Tim is a bit short-tempered and quick to assumptions. If anyone is familiar with the game, are these what they are like canonically?

I actually watched this short in three languages: English, Japanese and Korean. The voice acting for all three languages are really good. For the English dub, the cast of the duo is the same as the game. Pikachu is voiced by Kaiji Tang and Tim is voiced by Khoi Dao. For the Japanese dub, the duo actually have different voice actors from their game counterparts. In the games, Pikachu was voiced by Toru Okawa, but for this short, he’s voiced by Koichi Yamadera, a rather familiar name seen in Pokemon movies. Tim was voiced by Yuma Uchida in the games, but he’s voiced by Yuto Uemura for the shorts. Unfortunately, they never revealed the Korean dub’s casting list. What are your thoughts on the voice acting?

I do wonder if there will be more of the Detective Pikachu shorts. I hope they make more! This was so fun to watch! After much convincing from my friend, I actually bought the first Detective Pikachu game for the 3DS. I can’t wait to play it! Overall, what are your thoughts on this short? Do you also want to see more?

Danganronpa Deadication Character theories and predictions.

So, today I bring something a little different to the table. Recently, I’ve been scouting the internet for Danganronpa Fan-Projects, because I need to re-juice on my Fanganronpa thirst. However, during my quest, I came back to a series that I’d known about for a short while now, but never really gave any credit. Danganronpa Deadication is a really promising web series that I hope to god gets a really good final product, since the overall aesthetic of it, character design, environments, setup, all of it is really pleasing to look at. If you want more information on the story, then check out their Tumblr @dangandeadication​ or their YouTube channel where the story is originating from. So far, the prologue is fully completed and you can go watch in on either, and Chapter 1 has been confirmed to be in development right now.

After watching a video by Weeby Newz where she made theories and predictions about another fangame Kill/Cure, I decided to do something similar with this game. I will re-iterate that none of the artwork in this post belongs to me, and you can find it on the Tumblr Page that I just mentioned. On top of that, I will also remind you that this is a prediction. If any of my thoughts or ideas end up being right, it’s purely coincidental. Shout out to all the people working on this project, you are amazing, and I fully support your creation.

The first character I want to talk about is Naohiko Hayata, who seems to be the protagonist of this game. He’s the Ultimate Actor, and he’s pretty unique. As much as I love Makoto Naegi, Hajime Hinata and Shuichi Saihara respectively, most of them seem to lack in pretty outstanding personalities, as they’re designed to be relatable characters to the player, something they all succeed at. Naohiko doesn’t share that trait. He has a pretty snarky and overconfident personality that isn’t like protagonists in any other Danganronpa game I’ve seen so far. His description states:

Naohiko is a skilled actor and self assured person. He might come off as slightly overconfident, but he has good intentions and wants the best for everyone. Naohiko is determined to put an end to the killing game, but will he succeed, or will he fall into despair? He likes Sunsets and he dislikes cloudy days and unkempt hair.

Now, something about that description makes me a little suspicious. It states that he’s determined to put an end to the killing game, which makes me wonder what lengths he’ll go to in order to do so. The last time a character acted this way, it was Kaede, and she ended up losing her life for it. I’ll say this flat out now, I’m not expecting Naohiko to survive this game. I’m really expecting the game to pull a Kaede on us and have him die in the first chapter, either by being the killer, or a victim. Now, if he was the killer, it’d make more sense, but if the game was to throw us through a loop, I’d really like it if we actually get to witness Naohiko be murdered himself in the first chapter, and for the trial we play as a different character than what we expected. If he does die, then I’m predicting the new protagonist would be either Reika (because she has an ahoge herself) or Yuuma (because he’s the Ultimate Lucky Student) but for now, I’m going to label him as a killer.

The next character to bring up is Hitomi Akimura, the Ultimate Illusionist. Now, I know I already said Naohiko gave me Kaede vibes, simply due to his description, but Hitomi is almost the exact same, saying pretty much the same things as Kaede did in V3, assuring everyone they could escape if they all worked together. At first, I thought maybe this could be like Sayaka, where she goes through an arc and then ends up being the first victim, but I have a bit of a different theory. As for her description, it states the following:

Hitomi is always upbeat and optimistic. She tries to put a smile on everyone’s faces, earning her the title of the most lovable friend, and she’s the glue that holds the group together. If everyone’s happy, she’s happy. She likes Red Roses and she dislikes Solitude.

Hitomi to me seems like she’s the Chiaki/Kaede of this game, trying to stop the group from being split up or arguing, but I feel that her arc could go in a similar direction. Like I said, I don’t know if she’ll make it to the end, and like I said with Naohiko, I think she’s going to end up being a killer, but for a really good cause. I originally thought she could be the mastermind behind the killing game, but I really am not sure. For now, I’ve marked her as a killer.

Next is Kyusho Asagiri, AKA Kyoko Kirigiri’s genderswap. No like, literally, he looks just like her AND they’re both Ultimate Detectives. His description reads:

Calm and sophisticated, Kyusho enjoys solving mysteries. He keeps his cool no matter what the situation is, and when he’s working on the scene, nothing can take his focus away. But it does get a little unsettling when he smiles, like he knows all of your secrets... He likes Green Tea and dislikes Flashy People.

At first, my general theories on Kyusho’s character is that he’d be something similar to Tsurugi Kinjo from the Another series. He’s a virtuous police officer on the side of good, but he has a hidden dark side to him. The part of his description where it says “it does get a little unsettling when he smiles, like he knows all of your secrets...” Is a little suspicious. My original prediction was that he was going to be an early victim, killed off because of fear at how useful his talent would be in the Class Trials, and then that theory switched into being a killer himself, but then my final theory was the most crazy of all. I predict that Kyusho will be the mastermind behind the killing game, or at least he’d be part of the organisation behind it, and be a participant himself due to his enjoyment of solving mysteries. However, Kyusho is the character for me who is most in the grey area. I don’t know whether he’ll be a victim, a killer, a survivor or the mastermind.

This character is probably one of the characters that I’m the most interested in, Reika Komatsu, this games version of the Ultimate ??? character, that Kyoko, Hajime and Rantaro all did in the original game.

Reika neither knows her talent, nor does she really care. She might come off as emotionless, but she’s usually just tired and never has anything to say. With her monotonous voice, it’s hard to keep up any conversation. She likes sleep and dislikes long conversations.

I’m already dead set on the idea that Reika will be the “antagonistic character” of this series. More specifically, I expect her to fill the same role that Nagito Komaeda and Kokichi Ouma did in their respective games. The reason I think this is because in one of the first videos of the series, more specifically the first trailer, it shows a clip of the cutscene before the Mass Panic Debate, with her, Kyusho and Shu, the latter two claiming they’re not the killer. However, Reika states that she might possibly be the killer, which immediately makes me think that she’ll try and derail the conversations. I feel her reasons, judging by her character description, is that she derails the conversation to trick people into suspecting her, just so she can get the debate over and done with quickly enough. Because of these similarities, I predict that Reika will be a Chapter 5 victim too, and like Nagito and Kokichi, she’d have a heavy role to play in her own murder scheme.

Next up is Yuuma Hisashi, the Ultimate Lucky Student, and the character, like I already mentioned, that I think will secretly be the real hero of the story. I see him being more a Makoto or Yuki Maeda lucky student than a Nagito one.

Although Yuuma thinks his talent isn’t a very good one, he’s a friendly guy who just likes joking around and having a good time with everyone. Ironically, he thinks he has the worst luck. After all, he did get trapped in a killing game... He likes Ramen and really bad puns, and dislikes his own talent.

Even though he claims to dislike his talent, I think it’ll come through for him on more than one occasion. While I do think it’s likely he’d be an easy target or even a surprising murderer, I’m pretty certain that he will end up escaping the killing game with his life, at least I hope so. Alternatively, if I’m wrong about Naohiko and he ends up making it to the end, I would very much enjoy it if they did something similar to what they did in the final trial of V3, and have us switch to Yuuma’s perspective like we did with Keebo. I’m sorry that that’s all I can really say, but Yuuma is one of the characters who I’m probably the least interested in as of right now. But in short, I think he’ll be a survivor.

Next is Megumi Norikawa, the strict and assertive Ultimate Attorney, who to me seems like a weird, but well made blend of Kiyotaka, Mahiru and Kirumi. Her description is as followed:

Megumi takes pride in her talent. She’s always assertive and blunt...to the point where you might start crying if she glares at you. She means well though, she just has high expectations of everyone. It’s all good so long as you don’t get on her bad side. She likes Coffee and Taking Charge and dislikes Unpunctual People.

I have pretty high expectations for Megumi, since she seems quite prominent on the series original promo art, but at the same time, it could be a fake out. She seems to share traits with the Ultimate Imposter too, which makes me believe she could also be an early victim. However, I would also love it if she could have the arc that Taka had that was cut short by his death, so while I don’t really have an awful strong opinion of her yet, like I did with Taka really early on, I’m predicting, and hoping, that she will be a survivor.

Next is Iori Karanomori, a fun loving Ultimate Gardener, and one of the characters that I instantly took a shine to. My theories surrounding him are...unfortunate ones, but his description says:

Iori is a bundle of energy who loves gardening. A walking encyclopedia on plants, he’s always jumping with excitement whenever he talks about them. Well, it’s more accurate to say that he’s jumping with excitement all the time. It’s impossible to try and calm him down. He likes Obscure Plant Facts and dislikes Deforestation.

Despite how much I’m already into this guy, though admittedly when I first saw him, I couldn’t work out what his actual gender was, I know for a fact that the type of character that he is doesn’t tend to live that long in these types of games, if at all. This is particularly evident with characters like Sayaka, Ibuki, Angie and others. I think Iori is going to be a victim and an early one at that. In fact, if Kyusho doesn’t die in the first chapter after being killed, then I see the first victim being either him, or Luna. I really doubt he’ll live to the end, and if he does, I hope to god he doesn’t end up being a Yasuhiro of the game.

Next character that I’m gonna talk about is Sakumi Mifune, the Ultimate Alchemist. There isn’t really much that I can gleam from a character like her, she genuinely seems pretty nice, but also seems like someone who would snap and break down under pressure. However, due to how she’s described in her profile, I don’t think she’d be a killer.

Sakumi has a big heart and is a caring person, although it might not look like that at first because of how unresponsive she can be. She’s a bit ditsy and oblivious, zoning out from time to time and getting lost in her own world. It’s also hard to follow her when she tries to explain her own talent. She likes Shiny Things and dislikes Seafood.

If what the description says is to be believed, then I have a really hard time picturing someone like her being a killer, unless they pull some Mikan bullshit out on us. However, I also have a hard time seeing her survive to the end of the killing game, so I predict that she may get to at least Chapter 3 before she’s murdered in some dumb double-homicide scheme. Yeah, I think she’ll end up being a victim unfortunately.

If I had to say who my least favorite character from what I know so far is, it’d probably be the Ultimate Filmmaker, Toru Mizuno. He doesn’t seem all that friendly, and he outright ignores Hitomi when she tries to talk to him, because he’s so interested in Naohiko. This is how he’s described by the creators:

Toru is a highly opinionated and critical person, and he likes to bring his own perspective on every issue. He gets irritated and dramatic when the others don’t agree with him. He insists that he isn’t condescending and that he doesn’t have a big ego. He likes Indie Films and dislikes CGI animation.

He, to me, seems like he could potentially be the character that survives that you don’t want to, but I have something else in mind for him. I assume that maybe he could do something similar to what Sayaka and Miu did in their games. What I mean is, I think he’d end up being a victim, but because he tried to commit his own murder and tragically failed, leaving his target or someone else, to effectively turn the tables on him in a panic. I don’t know, I’m just going with my gut for this one.

Ayane Fukase is the Ultimate Psychic, and she’s another character that I feel a little indifferent towards. I don’t dislike her at all, but I most certainly don’t feel a unique fondness to her like I do to a large selection of the characters in this series. I do have a bit of a theory surrounding what she could do in the killing game, but before I get into that, here’s her description:

Ayuna is cheeky and outgoing and she says she can predict anything with her talent. If you actually ask her to predict something, the stars are out of alignment, her vision is too foggy, or the atmosphere is too unclear to focus...whatever excuse you can think of. She likes Desserts and dislikes Spicy Food.

I feel a scenario that she would play into is in the Case 3 murder, where maybe she has a prediction of who dies, who kills them, and where, and she tries to go and stop it, but then ends up getting killed in an attempt to stop the murder. So like I said with Sakumi, I think she’d end up being a victim in a case 3 double murder plan.

Next is Shu Uchida, a man who prides himself on his title of Ultimate Bounty Hunter, as well as his supposed body count. He’s egotsistical, rude, sharp-tongued and every sort of negative attitude you can think of, but he’s also one of the characters that I’m really really into as of right now, since I have pretty high hopes for him. 

From Shu’s talent alone, everyone’s on edge with a paid killer around. Although, after talking to him, he’s all bark and no bite. He assures he’s not a threat...only because none of them are worth his time. He likes Himself and dislikes Unimportant People.

I don’t know what direction the creators of the series plan to go in with Shu, but I’m really hoping they do something similar to what Danganronpa 2 did with Fuyuhiko. He starts off with a cold, snide sense of superiority, as well as an angry, brash desire to just be left alone, but eventually, due to unfortunate events in the killing game that negatively affect him, his cold heart begins to thaw and he ends up being a much more useful aspect to the group as a whole. If this does end up being his character arc basis, then I really expect him to be a survivor, and that’s my theory on him.

Haru Yoshino is the Ultimate Occultist and she’s...strange. I’ll let the description speak for itself, because I really don’t have much to say about her.

Sassy and sarcastic, Haru isn’t the easiest person to get along with. They like following around random people and sometimes making funny (and sometimes ominous) remarks to mess with them. They also claim to be able to summon demons and try and convince others to join then in dangerous anf questionable rituals. She likes Black Jewelry and dislikes Owls

Haru is another character who’s in the grey area for me. I see her being a victim, and maybe a killer. If she ends up being a killer, I feel it would be a bit obvious, based purely on what her character describes, but of all the roles she could fill, I think being a killer is the least likely one, judging from her overall character traits. If I had to lean towards a specific role, I think she has the potential to be one of the survivors of the killing game.

Keiji Iketsugi, this series’ adaptation of the Ultimate Surgeon, is a little bit of a stern, and rather creepy character. Necrophiliac is far from the correct term to describe him, but his...how do I best describe this...addiction, to dead bodies, is not something that can easily be ignored.

Due to his talent, Keiji is very skilled with scalpels, syringes, needles and other sharp objects...which can make other people uncomfortable. His demeanor is always calm, but calculating, and he is always looking forward to expanding his knowledge of biology through his own examinations of subjects... He likes Human Anatomy and dislikes Lack of Hygiene 

If there’s one small message that Danganronpa has taught me amongst others of course, it’s that sometimes a book CAN be judged by it’s cover. Sometimes characters who look like they could kill someone actually do end up killing someone. The best examples I can think of are Peko Pekoyama and Korekiyo Shinguji. I imagine a good backstory for Keiji is a sort of Jack the Ripper esc backstory, where it turns out he murdered people and stole their organs or body parts in order to research them or something else. Alternatively, what could be more interesting is if he stole the organs of horrid people and used them to save other people in transplants, kind of like Good Doctor Locklear. My point is, I think he could be a killer, and I’m leaning more towards that than I am any other role for him.

I do like Otoha Okada quite a bit, but unfortunately her talent is Ultimate Basketball Player, AKA a sports talent. If you have a talent related to some kind of sport, then you tend not to survive that long in the killing game. The only characters that have a sports talent and have ever survived in a killing game are Aoi Asahina and Akane Owari. Characters like Leon, Nekomaru and Ryoma unfortunately aren’t as lucky. Before I explain how I think Otoha might go out though, here’s her description.

Otoha is pretty upbeat and active. She enjoys working out and encouraging others to do the same thing. She can get a bit too competitive at times, but it’s because she likes challenging herself. If Otoha is cooped up in one place for too long, she tends to get very irritable. She likes Excersising and dislikes Sleeping in.

I’m just gonna come out and say that I think she’ll end up being a killer, but I don’t see her having any malicious intent. Her bio states that she gets irritable if she’s cooped up in a place for too long, and I think that attitude might cause her to snap and kill someone to escape, but I feel like it would make more sense if her reason was because she killed someone on accident, or committed a murder to save someone’s life.

Second to last is Minoru Shinoya. He is the Ultimate Barista, and he’s the only other character who, like Kyusho and Haru, who sits in the grey area for me as to what he could potentially be. His description is as followed:

At first glace, Minoru seems like a cool, laid-back person, but he’s actually someone who enjoys cracking jokes around. He likes brewing coffee and hinting about his “secret ingredients” but despite his often reckless nature, he is also mature enough to keep a straight face in serious situations. He likes Baking and dislikes Decaffeinated Coffee.

Like I said, he’s in the grey area, and I imagine that most people would probably lean more towards him being a survivor or a victim, but as weird as it sounds, I’m predicting him to be a killer. I can explain why though. I imagine that his case can go one of two ways. The first is, like I already mentioned, I predict Toru will plan a murder of his own and fail it, as his target turns against him, and I also feel like that target could be Minoru. Minoru is pretty chill, so I don’t see him committing a murder willingly unless he acted in self-defence. An alternative scenario is that he pulls a Sakura and commits suicide due to a helpless situation, which would make him the killer and the victim at the same time. He seems alright though, so if he survived, I would be totally fine with that.

Last of all is Luna Tsuyuki, also known as the Ultimate Arctic Explorer, and the character who has possibly my favorite design out of everyone in this repertoire of Ultimate Students. Seriously, she’s a great mix of cute and elegance and she’s got a pretty friendly and nice personality to go along with it.

Luna seems sweet and kind on the outside, but don’t let that fool you. Because of her talent, she’s pretty tough and has incredible survival instincts. She instantly thinks of twelve backup plans in any mildly dangerous situation.

Now, based on this description, it sounds like she knows what she’s doing, and I see her being very helpful in the class trials. If Luna managed to survive to the end of the game, I’d be both happy, and very unsurprised. Unfortunately, her aptitude in these types of situations could make her a target, as to eliminate one of the most deadly aspects against you in the trial. Basically, I see Luna being a victim, and that’s all I can really say.

And that’s all the characters, so before I end this post, I’ll do a brief recap of everything I’ve said about these characters and what role I predict they’ll play.

I predict that Iori, Luna, Sakumi, Ayane, Toru and Reika will be the victims.

I predict that Naohiko, Otoha, Keiji, Minoru and Hitomi will be the killers

I predict Shu, Megumi, Haru and Yuuma will be the survivors

I predict Kyusho will be the Mastermind.

Once again, I really hope you will go and support this project, because I can’t wait for Chapter 1 to be fully released. However, please, don’t pressure the creators of this series to hurry up. They have lives, just like you and I, and they don’t want to spend every minute of it working on this project. However, I’m really into this project in particular, just as much as I’m into fan projects like Kill/Cure and more. I look forward to seeing what the team works on and I’d like them to know they have my full support!

Mobile Suit Gundam Hathaway Producer Explains The Reason for The Voice Cast Change

    The official website for Mobile Suit Gundam Hathaway, the forthcoming trilogy anime film project based on Yoshiyuki Tomino's Mobile Suit Gundam: Senkou no Hathaway / Hathaway's Flash novel, announced today that all of the main voice cast, mobile suits and character designs, and music will be changed from the previously released materials.

  The changes include Nozomu Sasaki, who voiced the protagonist Hathaway Noa in the 1988 film Mobile Suit Gundam Char's Counterattack and has voiced the character for various games, including the Super Robot Wars series. Sasaki himself has confirmed this cast change on his official Twitter.

  The anime's producer Naohiro Ogata explains the reason for the changes on the website as below:

  "As you know, this film is based on the novel written by Yoshiyuki Tomino about 30 years ago. Since then, the fans have continued to be familiar with a wide range of items, including games, plastic models, and figures. However, for the production of the anime film 'Mobile Suit Gundam Hathaway,' we will change the main voice cast, mobile suits, character design, and music. The reason for this change is due to production and direction conditions for the latest film in the Gundam franchise, which is celebrating its 40th anniversary, with an eye to global expansion.

  I myself have been a big fan of 'Hathaway' for 30 years. I have determined to pay respect to those who have been involved in 'Hathaway' and take on new challenges by receiving the thoughts from them."

    The new main voice cast members and the theme song performer were originally scheduled to be announced at the fan event "GUNDAM FAN GATHERING - 'Senkou no Hathaway' Heirs to GUNDAM-" at Zepp Divercity Tokyo on March 24, but it has been canceled due to the spread of the new coronavirus.

  Instead, the same contents will be revealed in a live-streaming program to be steamed on the Gundam official YouTube channel's YouTube LIVE at 22:00 on March 24 (JST). Toru Furuya (Amuro Ray VA) and Shuichi Ikeda (Char Aznable VA) will join as special guests. Producer Ogata also promises to explain the reason for the changes in detail in the program.

    【 #閃光のハサウェイ 】 ハサウェイの秘密に迫る ファンイベント「GUMDAM　FAN GATHERING-『閃光のハサウェイ』Heirs to GUMDAM-」 3/24日（火）22:00 よりYouTubeライブほか にて公演内容を配信することが決定！ 詳細は公式ＨＰにて????https://t.co/jywXm3gkQG pic.twitter.com/GCukR40rVx

  The story is set twelve years after The Second Neo Zeon War led by Char Aznable, and focuses on Bright Noa's son Hathaway, who secretly acts as "Mufti Nabiyu Erin", the leader of a terrorist organization called "Mufti" whose purpose is to assassinate The Earth Federation's leaders.
