Total Drama (Lucanian Japanese dub)

The Total Drama series first began broadcasting in Tsuki on November 1, 2008. It was licensed for the country by Sato Entertainment, and is dubbed at Yokoyama Studios.

Censorship
Similar to the Italian and European French dubs of Total Drama, the Tsukiese Japanese France dub does not involve any kind of censorship.

Trivia

 * Many of the voice actors happen to be siblings.
 * Amy/Miku and Samey/Mika/Niku's voice actresses, Nana and Momo Watanabe, are twin sisters in real life.
 * Mickey/Michinori and Jay/Kunihiro's voice actors, Shinji and Toshi Kagawa, are twin brothers in real life.
 * The voice actors of Shawn, Jen, Kitty and Izzy (Corey, Saki and Yutaka Maekawa) are triplets.
 * There were some cursing in the first season. For example: the scene in "That's Off the Chain!" where Heather/Honoka gets told off by Lindsay/Azusa. In this scene, all the swearing is surprisingly uncensored, and Lindsay/Azusa calls her former friend a "two-faced bitch". The word was never cut out or edited when the episode aired on TV.
