Professor Hershel Layton : ウィキペディア英語版 | Professor Hershel Layton
is a fictional character and protagonist of the ''Professor Layton'' fictional universe, created by Level-5. Professor Layton is a player character in a series of puzzle adventure video games starting with ''Professor Layton and the Curious Village'' and most recently ''Professor Layton and the Azran Legacy'', in which he and his apprentice Luke Triton (with his assistant, Emmy Altava, travelling with the two in ''The Last Specter'', ''Miracle Mask'' and ''Azran Legacy'') investigate mysteries while solving various brain teasers. He also appears in an animated movie, ''Professor Layton and the Eternal Diva'', and has featured in manga and novels that have not been released in English. Professor Layton is based on the idea of an English gentleman, and is a professor of archaeology at the fictional Gressenheller University in London. He was designed by Level-5 CEO Akihiro Hino, who used Sherlock Holmes and fellow video game character Phoenix Wright as inspiration for his creation. He is voiced by Yo Oizumi in the original Japanese releases of the series, and by Christopher Robin Miller in English-language releases. ==Design== The character of Professor Layton was designed by Akihiro Hino, CEO of Level-5. When designing the game, he thought about what kind of character would make an "interesting lead";〔 what came to mind was the concept of a famous detective and his assistant, in the manner of Sherlock Holmes. From this idea, he created Professor Layton and his young apprentice, Luke Triton; the English setting of the games was also inspired by these mystery stories.〔 Professor Layton was also derived in part from Phoenix Wright; Hino examined what he believed to be Wright's good and bad points, and designed Layton by overcoming what he saw as Wright's bad points.〔 The idea to voice the characters, despite the idea being uncommon on the Nintendo DS at that time,〔 came about as a means to attract casual players who had purchased Brain Age but were skeptical about playing other, more complex video games.〔 Level-5 enlisted television personalities to voice characters from the game; Yo Oizumi was chosen to voice Professor Layton within Japan.〔 For English-language releases in the series, Nintendo selected American voice actor Christopher Robin Miller;〔 both have reprised their roles for each successive game in the series as well as the animated movie, with Miller being the only cast member who reprises his role in the games' European releases.〔〔
