Dragon Voice is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Yuriko Nishiyama. It was serialized in Kodansha's shōnen manga magazine Weekly Shōnen Magazine from January 2001 to January 2003, with its chapters collected in 11 tankōbon volumes. The manga was licensed in North America by Tokyopop; 10 volumes were released before their manga licensing contract with Kodansha had expired in 2009. The story centers on a Japanese pop-singing group called Beatmen and focuses on the life of Rin Amami, the unlikely fifth member of the group who was foretold as the bearer of a legendary unique singing vocal called "Dragon Voice".
14-year-old Rin Amami is a gifted street dancer. His dream was to become a singer like his mother, but he has a harsh and unpleasant-sounding voice. However, his chance encounter with the idol singing group Beatmen opens the path to the music industry to him. The head of the small idol agency called Redshoes (who manages the Beatmen) is certain that Rin's voice is the legendary "Dragon Voice".
