# Takeshi: a Japanese male voice with a slower cadence for game narration

> Takeshi is the Japanese male voice in our library. Our listening note gives him a slower cadence, suited to game narration, where every line needs room to land.

- Language: Japanese
- Voice: Male

## Best for

- **Game narration**: Cutscene voiceover and quest text, the use our note names. Keep lines short so each cue lands on one beat.
- **Slow, deliberate reads**: Where a slower cadence is the point: warnings, endings, lines that need weight. The speed slider can slow him further.
- **The male half of a Japanese pair**: Any of the four female Japanese voices can sit behind him; the pairings below start there.
