• ... that Daiki Kobayashi was already known for his androgynous voice when he was cast as Saki Mizushima in The Idolmaster SideM? Source: 女装男子アイドル”水嶋咲の担当声優が、小林大紀さんに決定しました。小林さんは中性的な声優として活躍しており、Twitterに女装写真をアップしたり、女性のような声を使いこなし中性的なキャラクターを演じたりするなど、まさに筋金入りの女装男子です。なんてぴったり過ぎる配役！/Daiki Kobayashi has been chosen as the voice actor for the cross-dressing boy idol Mizushima Saki. Kobayashi is an androgynous voice actor who posts cross-dressed photos on Twitter and uses a female-like voice to play androgynous characters; he is a true cross-dresser. What a perfect casting choice!

Overall: Hi Miraclepine! The article is well-written and well-sourced. It was nominated four days after being moved into the mainspace, so it is new enough. Earwig shows it is copyvio free. Personally, I prefer the original hook, which seems more neutral. I think it can be expanded to further highlight the contrast between Kobayashi as a male and Mizushima as a female (because not everyone can read Japanese, and may not be familiar with the gender implications of the names), but the current one is good enough for an approve in my opinion. —Prince of Erebor（The Book of Mazarbul） 13:03, 26 August 2024 (UTC)

@Prince of Erebor: I've read the SideM lore and Saki is male. I'll look into it. ミラP@Miraclepine 16:18, 26 August 2024 (UTC)

@Miraclepine: Hi Miraclepine! Sorry for not making myself clear. Yes, Mizushima is a male character, who dresses as a female idol, according to the source (as suggested by "女装男子"). However, the current hook does not effectively highlight the contrast that makes this casting choice noteworthy. That was why I proposed to emphasize on Mizushima's portrayal as a "female idol". —Prince of Erebor（The Book of Mazarbul） 16:29, 26 August 2024 (UTC)

@Prince of Erebor: Thanks for your clarification. I've fixed the article and added ALT0.5 and ALT1.5 as per your input. ミラP@Miraclepine 16:53, 26 August 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for your swift reply and update. I think ALT0.5 is good enough and it would be my first choice. —Prince of Erebor（The Book of Mazarbul） 15:27, 27 August 2024 (UTC)
