Yes, Gakuto is supposed to be like that.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Mr. Hanae plays Sogetsu Gakuto, a sixth grader who serves as the Student Council President for Goha No. 7 Elementary School. He has a serious personality, and has never been late or absent to school. Also, he is the heir of the “Sogetsu Style” Duel School.<\/p>\n
“While he looks cool and serious, he also reacts a lot and has huge emotional ups and downs, and is often the comic relief. He’s also broad-minded, and somewhat kinda mom-ish. Because it’s a kid’s show, there’s often chibi characters, and characters will tend to speak in over-the-top ways. I’m trying to nail that, so I hope viewers find that enjoyable.”<\/p>\n
\u25c7 About Tone-Deaf Characters<\/p>\n
The Ending Theme is sung by Mr. Ishibashi Hiiro-san (Yuga), Yashiro Taku (Rook) and you, Hanae-san. The portion of the song sung by you, Mr. Hanae, sounds a off-key… …<\/p>\n
“Gakuto is a consistently serious person, even if he’s basically tone-deaf, despite me being able to sing. It’s awkward to completely remove that consistency, so I’m singing with this awkward sounding voice. It was difficult to do.”<\/p>\n
