I recall you mentioned earlier that Kyouya is fake American just like Klavier is fake German, so I'm curious where this came from? Was it one of the artbooks? (I'm not doubting the veracity, I'm legitimately curious)
I donât remember if it was ever stated explicitly, or if an interview with the director of GS4 explained it. But itâs heavily implied that he lived in Japanifornia. I know in one old magazine interview with Takumi that his band hit the top of Oricon charts, which is Japanâs top musical listings. That he was later re-introduced to be a student of Themis Academy is just an extra touch.
By the way, it was only in the localized English version where he had an âaffected Euro-rock accentâ, as the original game script mentions nothing about his actual accent. (I canât confirm for other localizations, but I assume they jump around with his âforeignâ accent.)
So much for that; his VAs for AJ and DD donât give him any European accent in the English versionsâŚ
