| Seki
is the 2nd seiyuu whose name I remember, along with Koyasu.
He also appears everywhere, it almost seems like as if he's
a rival to Koyasu. Depending on the type of character he voices,
he can also have quite a recognizable voice although I can't always
tell. Also a very talented and pleasant person. I first knew
about him from Fushigi Yuugi's Chichiri. |

Seki! I call him Seki2 for clarification sake. I first heard
his voice through Duo from Gundam Wing, but officially learnt
of his name only after watching Saiyuki. I really LOVE his voice!
It's distinctive and can be recognized easily, but regardless
of who he voices it's always so good!! I truly
fell in love with him after hearing him voice Riki in Ai No
Kusabi (yaoi anime). Damn... it was just TOO HOT!! *Fangasm* Seki2's by far my #1 TOP favorite seiyuu. |

| Morikubo's
been a favorite since Ginji from Get Backers. I
don't know too many of his works but I love
some of those I know, especially Ginji, Akaya and
Kadaj. He has a pretty unique voice that stands out to me, making
it pretty easy to recognize. I see a shining bright future ahead of
him. ^_^! I hope to hear more of him somehow. |

| I
never knew who he was until Kyuuzou from Samurai 7, and then
realized that he's voiced many other characters I know. I started
being able to recognize his voice only after quite some time,
but now I'm very used to it. Friends and I thought he has the
tendency to voice playboys (haha!), and lately yaoi characters!!
=P Wootness baby!! |

|
| I
first heard Ishida from Hakkai in Saiyuki. I notice he has the
tendency to voice mellow characters, although he does voice some
very different characters like Gaara from Naruto. Mostly soft,
gentle and sweet, his voice is easily recognizable. A very sweet
and friendly person, Ishida will/can very easily be anyone's
favorite seiyuu. |

Toyotomi Hideyoshi (Sengoku Basara 2)
Kuchiki Byakuya (Bleach)
...etc
|
| I
first heard of Okiayu from Gundam Wing where he voiced Treize.
He is one of two people on this list of seiyuus whose voice
I love but hard to recognize. Each time I find
out that a certain character is voiced by him I'm often surprised. Maybe it's just me, but I do believe that is
how good he is, being able to sound different for many of the characters
he voices. Very talented. *Thumbs up* |

Yukimura (Samurai Deeper Kyo)
Shinji (Evangelion)
Emeraude (Magic Knights Rayearth)
Murai Julia (GTO)
...etc |
| My
very first favorite female seiyuu, and the 3rd seiyuu whose
name I remember. I knew about her from Cardcaptor Sakura's Yukito.
That was the first time I've heard a woman voicing a male character,
so my impression of that voice is pretty deep. Ironically, even
tho' I she is a big favorite, I've heard only so few of her
anime voices. |

Hiroaki

Alan (Xenosaga the Animation)
Balflear (Final Fantasy 12)
Jack Sparrow (Kingdom Hearts 2)
Kaburagi T. Kotetsu (Tiger & Bunny)
...etc |
| For
Hiroaki, it all started out with Gojyo from Saiyuki, later Sanji
from One Piece. However, I still didn't know that they were
by the same seiyuu until I heard Balflear from Final Fantasy
12. For some reason, the moment I heard Balflear the first thing
that came to my mind was "Gojyo!" That was when I
started liking him, and it made me realize how perfect his voice
for Sanji is. He's got a distinctive voice as well. |

Morikawa
Toshiyuki |

Works:
Mito Youhei/Nobunaga Kiyota (Slam Dunk)
Conrad (Kyou Kara Maou)

Homura (Saiyuki)
Kurosaki Isshin/Tousen (Bleach)
Tyki Mikk (D Gray-man)
Dante (Devil May Cry anime)
Enel/Hatchan (One Piece)
...etc
|
| A genius. He has so many different voice channels he's technically, practically and literally the best, if not for bias and personal preferences. Typically, Morikawa voices the cool type of characters (along with all other types).
I've previously heard his voice in several anime but I never really knew him
until Sephiroth from FF7 Advent Children. I was then told he
also voiced Conrad from Kyou Kara Maou and that's how I finally remembered his name.
It was even more surprising (pleasantly) when I realized he also voiced Iwaki from
Haru Wo Daiteita, a yaoi anime (and he's bottom! OMG! @_@). A seemingly very active, cheerful and fun guy, undoubtedly one of Japan's best seiyuus ever. |

Sakurai

Kazuki (Gakuen Heaven) [Voice

Haruka (Tactics)
Kira Izuru (Bleach)
Yu Kanda (D Gray-man)
Suzaku Kururugi (Code Geass)
...etc |
| Like
Morikawa above, I knew of Sakurai only after hearing he voices
Cloud from FF7 Advent Children AND Yuuri from Kyou Kara Maou.
He's been appearing a lot everywhere since so I've learned to recognize his voice. Although, I can't say I super enjoy him voicing as ukes in yaoi anime, cos depending on the type of uke (usually they are typical ukes) it can get pretty annoying. >_>; |

(Top #2) Hayami
Shou |
 |
Works:
Kouji (Bronze/Zetsuai)
Raoul (Ai No Kusabi)
Muraki (Yami no Matsuei) [Voice

Naoe (Mirage of Blaze)
Aizen Sousuke (Bleach)
Wolfwood (Trigun)
Meister Kirisaki (Yakitate Japan)
Oda Nobunaga (Samurai Deeper Kyo)
Umibouzu (Gintama)
...etc |
| I've
seen his name for a very long time, it probably started with
Kouji from Bronze/Zetsuai and Muraki from Yami no Matsuei. Hayami
has a very deep and very sexy voice, hence the tendency
to voice the popular quiet and cool characters like Morikawa, only A LOT sexier. I often confuse his voice with Morikawa's but
when you learn how to tell them apart (Hayami's voice is deeper), you might just realize that Hayami has the voice you'd first die for between the two. For that he's my #2 best favorite seiyuu. |

Shuldich (Weiss Kreuz)
Migeira (Samurai Deeper Kyo)
Sora (Sukisho)
...etc
|
| I
learnt about Midorikawa when I happen to be comparing singer
names on the back of some anime OST one day and found out he
voices both Tamahome from Fushigi Yuugi and Heero from Gundam
Wing. I watched those 2 anime a very long time ago but his name
always stayed in my head for some reason. I finally heard him
again in Slam Dunk many years later, and I must say it's really
good. Recently, it seems he's been voicing characters from a
few yaoi anime. =P He's a very funny and adorable person from
the videos I've seen. =D |

Minagawa
Junko |
 |
Works:
Ryoma (Prince of Tennis) [Voice

Ritsuka (Loveless)
...etc |
| This
lady is MOST well known, I bet, from voicing Ryoma in Prince
of Tennis. There's really nothing else to say about that except
for how PERFECT her voice is for that character. She doesn't
seem to voice very many characters and I've only heard 2 of
her works but I must say her best one has to be Ryoma.
Great seiyuu with a lot of potential. |

Reno (FF7 Advent Children)
Axel (Kingdom Hearts 2) [Voice

Sven (Black Cat)
Tachibana Keiichirou (Antique Bakery)
Shimojo Isao (Dear Boys)
...etc
|
| Reno
from FF7 Advent Children was the reason I know him. Even so
I don't exactly remember his name until I thought Axel from
Kingdom Hearts 2 sounds too much like Reno, and that's
when I found out it's by the same seiyuu. However, above all,
I was most surprised to hear that he also voiced Hughes from
Full Metal Alchemist. I haven't heard a lot of his works but
he seems to be able to voice both humorous and serious "older men" type voices, which is a pleasant surprise. ^_^ |

(Top #3) Nakai
Kazuya |

Works:
Zoro (One Piece)
Mugen (Samurai Champloo)
Tres (Trinity Blood)
Iluga (Raganarok the Animation)
Date Masamune (Sengoku Basara)
Serge Jullie (Angel Links)
Hijikata Toushirou (Gintama)
...etc |
| I
first heard his voice from One Piece where he voices as Zoro.
I haven't heard too many of his works but I still can easily
recognize his voice, especially after hearing Zoro for the longest
time. He has a wonderful voice which is cool, manly and hilarious at the same time (depending on the character). Also, it would seem to be a coincidence (or not) that 90% of the characters he voices turn out to be my top favorite character of their respective series. o_o |

Hasukawa Kazuhiro (Here is Greenwood)
Madoka Seiryuu (Spiral)
...etc
|
| Another one with a "low and sexy" voice, except, he is also great at voicing comical/bright characters! I first heard him from Gravitation, but I officially remembered him from his role as Kakashi in Naruto. A very lovable seiyuu I'm sure everyone would love!! <33 |

Morita Masakazu |

Works:
Ichigo (Bleach)
Maeda Keiji (Sengoku Basara 2)
Auel Neider (Gundam Seed Destiny)
Tidus (Final Fantasy 10)
Pegasus Seiya (Saint Seiya)
Barnaby Brooks (Tiger & Bunny)
...etc |
| I hear his voice the most for Bleach and Sengoku Basara 2 (he doesn't seem to have very many anime/game projects) but that's enough for me to decide he's good. Although to be fair I only started liking him because of his role as Maeda Keiji. (Ichigo is good too but his character annoys me LOL) Morita himself seems to be a very hyperactive and talkative fun guy (as heard from this page) and gives a very pleasant impression overall. I've a feeling he becomes everyone's best friend in 2 minutes. <3 XD |
