Hello this is my first time on the forums but I need help finding a lost dub.
The dub in question is from a show called Motorcity and it aired on Disney XD from April 30,2012 to January 7, 2013. It was cancelled after being mishandled by the network. In a nutshell its about this group of rebels called the burners lead by their leader Mike Chilton. They protect their home of motorcity from being invaded by the villain Kane and his forces.
This dub has been lost for 10 years and I would really appreciate it if the lost media community could help in the search. The only thing that's holding me back is the language barrier as I don't speak Japanese. If someone here who knows Japanese or could spread the word then that would help a bunch. Also sorry if this is a long post but this is something I really think could be found if the right people involved.

Whoops sorry still new to forums But omg thanks for responding. This is news to me thanks for the info on the VAs. From what I saw, the animators also had nothing from the Japanese dub but just knowing the VAs is already one mystery solved.
Looking through this fan blog it also shows that all episodes of the show were dubbed in Japanese. It's not just 2 episodes but now we know all 20 episodes of the dub are missing. We just need someone or a Japanese motorcity fan to come forward with recordings. I know of one fan of the show from Japan that has a twitter and their name is kope40. I'm unable to ask them because I'm not fluent in Japanese but maybe someone here can.
Here's a mini update. I found a way to contact Kope40 and sent them a message. Because of the language barrier I had to use a translator but hopefully they can give some info on the jp dub and maybe even share the episodes 👀.
I'm back with some good and bad news. The bad news is that while I received a message back from Kope40 they did say that watching the dub in Japan is also a challenge and that they can't help much 😞. Now that that's out of the way now on to the good news which is I contacted samuraisky on tumblr, they also watched the dub in Japan and had accounts of the dub on their blog. Reminder to not go after Kope40, they told me they can't really help and we should respect their privacy. The point still stands that the dub is going to be hard to find but I know it's out there and if people had the episodes saved then there's still a chance. Edit: also don't try to harrass Samurai sky on tumblr about the dub either. Bombarding potential leads can scare them away from helping out in the search.
