As he strove to discover what Akira should sound like to him, Zeno was able to pinpoint some of his favorite moments from the show that encapsulated his portrayal. Namely in the first episode, Zeno especially enjoys the scene where Akira confronts both his abusive boss and his workplace crush, both of whom had already turned into zombies.

"That confession scene with him and Miss Ohtori and the way he resigned [from his job], that immediately went straight into a roller coaster of emotions with his big action sequence."

Despite the fact that the two most influential figures in his life had already been infected, it was important for Akira to convey his feelings and truly admit to himself the kind of life he'd been living. Zeno felt that in spades and absolutely loved portraying it.

"The reason why [Akira was] here has been taken from him and he still went through with it... it's just a great scene."

Of course, Zeno is best known for some of his action roles and Akira still sneaks in a couple of those epic moments that Zeno adores. In Episode 5 of the series, Akira confronts a zombie shark that he defeats with a nigh-inexplicable electrified punch.

"I've been waiting to do that since it came out in the subs," Zeno admitted gleefully. "So I was really excited for it to come out."

It's common practice for English voice actors to provide their specific takes on a Japanese anime character that doesn't necessarily rely too much on the original Japanese dub performances. To that end, Zeno Robinson had plenty of personal experience and emotional knowledge to bring his version of Akira Tendou to life.
