Hello Patrons!

As you know, music is being replaced on seven videos including Star Love Space Pirates. While I am arranging to make notes for music, I was debating for a long while about whether to replace the voice for Hikari (pictured above). Here is the rundown:

Star Love has two episodes: 1) Star Love Zero Gravity and 2) Star Love Space Pirates. Kazu was voiced by PyrePrince in both episodes. Ryuta was voiced by Small Lizard in Zero Gravity, but has since disappeared from the internet due to accusations in the voice acting community. Ryuta's voice was replaced in Space Pirates by Ty Coker.

Hikari was voiced in both Zero Gravity and Space Pirates by Kyle Davis, AKA Kiba Walker. After Space Pirates came out, there were accusations against Kiba Walker concerning another voice actor named Korey Solomon, and the evidence presented was quite damning. I asked Kiba myself to explain the situation, but he never responded. Many creators including myself have place distance from him.

I personally feel that Kiba's involvement is tainting Star Love. And to be honest, I am not sure I really was happy with Hikari's voice all this time. Kiba has a very distinct voice that doesn't vary so drastically from the voices he performs (such as Keitaro in Camp Buddy). But maybe, some of you like Hikari's voice?

The project is already cursed, with Ryuta's first voice actor being cancelled. The copyright for the music in Space Pirates had also not been successfully acquired, so music is being replaced. I wondered, should I replace Hikari's voice in Space Pirates? But do I also replace Ryuta's voice in Zero Gravity? Should I also then replace the music in Zero Gravity along with Hikari's voice?

I am on the fence on this issue. It appears no action was taken against Kiba for the alllegations against him, but his silence pretty much means that in the voice acting world, he is finished, kaput, done! What do you think? Leave comments below, your input is very valuable.

This poll will concern only Hikari's voice in Space Pirates, is open to all paying patrons and will close on September 15, 12am PT. Choose only one option. Thank you for your participation in the poll!

Question: Since music is already being replaced on Star Love Space Pirates, should Kiba Walker's voice as Hikari be replaced by another voice actor for Star Love Space Pirates?

I'd fan dub it for a dollar based off the men that say I should voice act when picking up rental cars for work. Art is meant to evolve

BrandonTheBicon

Personally I see no reason to not replace him. The logic would be consistent with Ryuta's recast, it distances a known creep from your work, and you can possibly get a performance you fully believe in to begin with!

Cartoon Lover Productions

Quite a sticky situation (sorry, no pun intended), but at the end of the day, you’re the mastermind behind the whole project, it’s your work, you have the right what you feel is right to do with it. It is a shame as both voice actors fit right in with the original video.

Jeremy pasheek

While I personally voted no I'm good with any way this is resolved.

Mark Zschiegner II

You should replace him. It would definitely help you in getting a better performance out of Hikari (one you can truly trust and believe in)

Mayze Starz

I would say, do what makes you less stressed in the long run. All the copyright crap you've put up with I'd hard enough. Do what is best your time and sanity

Bishyguy

I say replace him. Even if there weren't allegations of him being a creep, you'd still feel like his voice was too specific and not what you want. That alone is enough to recast. There are more nsfw VAs in the community now than when Star Love was first released. I don't imagine it'd be hard to find a replacement you like more. I could even give you a list of actors to look into if you need it. Tbh, it sounds like a lot to deal with and process. It might be easy to just hand it off to someone else to put together a re-dub for you while you focus on other things - maybe whoever you get to do the music can help. Ultimately, do whatever makes you feel happiest and at ease.

I say dont replace them purely for reasons of preservation of media. I dont feel too strongly one way or another since I can easily separate a character from their actor.

I personaly don't care honestly I normaly keep creator and art (actor and rols, singer and songs and so on) allways apart soo normaly doesnt bouther me honestly...

mancrossl

Honestly, I think the Star Love series is your masterpiece. It's a shame about the problems that have come up while working on this project, but as the creator, you have the final decision. Do whatever's best for you, and even though it has nothing to do with the poll, I hope to see more of the Star Love characters in the future.

Everyone here brings up lots of good points, yourself included. I think I would be on the fence, and I am not one who normally likes erasing someone's past work. But I agree with you: the first time I saw Star Love, once Hikari started talking, I was like, "Oh, it's Kietaro's VA," and it kinda pulled me out of the story you were trying to tell. So if that happened to someone else for the first time, they would stop thinking about your work and start thinking about someone else's stupid actions, and that could lead to less support for you. In Maruten we trust!
