Velvet Video Game Voices 🎙 Akie Kotabe: The Japanese Dr. Who

Gaming & Gabbing

Guess what?! Horizon: Zero Dawn is coming soon to PC! This means we get to discuss MORE Horizon: Zero Dawn!!

This week, G&G Hosts Dayeanne Hutton & Amber Plaster sit down with actor, Akie Kotabe. He plays opposite Selma Hayek in the Thriller Feature Film "Everly" and, our personal favorite on Akie's IMDb resume, "The Japanese Dr. Who" - an absurdly ridiculous film homage.

You might get dizzy from trying to count all the games Akie has worked on! He breaks down every detail from his roles in Horizon: Zero Dawn (OB-vi-OUS-ly) to a rare gem in his resume called "Lesuire Suit Larry: Wet Dreams Never Dry". Yes, you read that correctly.

Highlights from this episode include:

• The most creative answer to "What Hogwarts House do you belong to", ever!
• How Akie can spot himself in the game LA Noir
• Several examples of why Amber needs you to watch the sky in video games
• Amber & Daye fighting over Rocket League
