I'm stuck. Aki Sora: Yume no Naka's character Runa Satsuki has been entered twice, with a separate seiyū for the each instance, and both entries have error reports disputing the entered seiyū. The cited sources are English and Japanese Wikipedia respectively, and the official site does not mention the character. I contacted the user who entered the earlier instance, but they were unable to clear up the confusion. Can anyone help?

I managed to find Thai subs on youtube that included the credits, but it doesn't look like the character is credited in either episode.

Both episodes list Sora, Aki, and Nami, as well as who I'm assuming is Kana, as I can read the "Nazuna" in the seiyuu's name.

Episode 1 also lists a fifth character, but the name is a single kanji, and Wikipedia lists Runa's name as 2 kanji for her family name, and katakana for her first. None of the characters listed on Wikipedia have only 1 kanji for the name, and I can't quite make out what the kanji is to look it up myself.

If I'm understanding how Wikipedia (Jpn) is listing the voices correctly, Soyogi Toono voiced her in the Drama CD that came with volume 12, the character wasn't/wasn't voiced in the first OAV, and Runa Sakaki voiced her in the 2nd OAV and/or the Drama CD that came with volume 21 (which apparently share casts). I didn't watch the episodes myself (it was bad enough skipping through to find the credits), nor do I know the show, but I'm questioning if the character is even in the OAV? The credit could be for the vol. 21 Drama CD, and the character isn't in the OAV.

Here is the first episode's credits (link is directly to the seiyuu screen of the credits, video itself is VERY NSFW), if anyone can make out that last character.

The last character is "母" ("kā"/"ba"/"haha"—"mother"). BTW, here is the MyAnimeList entry for Runa, just so you have a visual reference.

(Thanks for your help. Smile )

Runa Satsuki does not appear in the anime. I just watched the first episode a few days ago and the second episode today, and she simply isn't in the anime. Both entries are wrong and both of them should be removed.

Also, the fifth person credited definitely is the mother, who only has dialogue in episode 1. I'm pretty certain there are no other speaking rolls besides those five in Aki Sora: Yume no Naka.

I checked the second episode's ending credits to verify, and indeed Runa Satsuki isn't credited there. Japanese Wikipedia lists Aki Sora under アニメ for Runa Sakaki, but I think they were possibly confused by the main Wikipedia entry of Aki Sora like we are, and that listing is only for the volume 21 drama CD that Dessa mentioned. I found an auction listing that includes the cast list for it. Runa Sakaki and a few other characters that aren't credited in this OVA are in it, and that's really where the Wikipedia listing was coming from. I'm going ahead and removing both entries as false, since there's no proof that this character is in the OVA.
