Question:
I hear it is some anime, & that person is often referred to as being from a specific place or their accent is remarked on. When I watch Gintama, EVERYONE rolls their R's.
Kansai Ben & Osaka Ben are things I've heard of, but I think they were vocabulary based & not so much the actual accent? The one I'm looking for is probably not area-specific & is usually associated with speaking with a disrespectful tone.
Answer:
It is the Tokyo 'working-class' accent, known as Berammei or Edo-ben.
Really scary Yakuza are much more likely to talk very politely - that is one of the things that makes them scary.
