Noriko Hidaka


She was Noriko in Gunbuster and...the gun in Psycho-Pass. Another one I've always liked is Bryan Cranston as Isamu in Macross Plus.

In English, both the Dominator in Psycho-Pass and Juiz in Eden of the East are played by Stephanie Young. I guess she's got the whole futuristic female AI voice locked down.

Yuuichi Nakamura's no stranger to giant robots, voicing the Italian Dandy, Ricardo Fellini in Gundam Build Fighters and Graham Aker in Gundam 00. Hell, he even voices a Banpresto Original in 2nd Super Robot Wars Original Generation.

Way, way back she was also Satsuki in Totoro, and these days she's playing the idol agency boss lady in Wake Up Girls. Pretty long career.


Edit: Another one of these voices-changing-over-long-careers people is Hirano Fumi, who played Lum in Urusei Yatsura, and now can be heard as the principal lady in Tokyo Ravens.

Toshihiko Seki voiced both batshit crazy Char clone Rau Le Creuset in Gundam SEED and the affable God of Death, Duo Maxwell in Gundam Wing. Here's the funny part, he's also the dub voice for...

Huuuuge difference from his usual light novel main character high school 2nd year everyman voice or his pretty boy voice. I have no idea what he did to work up that much phlegm for low growly voice he used for the role.

He has a really deep voice in real life. I'm pretty sure that if he used that as his main voice, he'd get pigeon-holed really fast.

Not really. There's this live action TV show Tokyo Encounter, where he and Sugita Tomokazu (and the occasional guest voice actor) spend 24 episodes goofing off and playing old video games. His normal voice actually does sound like his usual high school guy voice except a little nasally.

Man, Tokyo Encounter was the best thing while it lasted. Too bad it got canceled.

Dammit, now I need to track this series down, Kyon and Duo playing Super Mario World together sounds like the greatest thing.

Well, I was actually referring to something like that. He does sound a whole deal more gruff than usual, I think. Sugita pretty much sounds like the goofball, as usual.

Man, that show was just so chill. Hearing Ryotaro Okiayu doing his Hikaru Midorikawa impression. :allears:

Sugita is a super goofball. I wish that there were still videos of the BlazBlue radio show on Youtube so I could find the episode where Sugita opens it by saying "HAADOCOA!" over and over. :allears:

Yes. That was Sakurai Takahiro with them. That video was what made me go track the series down.

I'll just chalk it up to us being different people who hear different things differently. Also, agreed on Sugita.

They're all still on Arc System Works' NicoNico channel here. Also, this guy has a few older episodes subbed in English.

There's some Livejournal that has I think the first 15 or so episodes subbed. Those have horrible eye-searing video quality, but the translations themselves are quite ok.

Sorry for the big dumb wall of text. It's really hard for me to contain my enthusiasm for Tokyo Encounter and Sugita goofing off in general. :v:

Mako (the pink-haired one) and Ichiro (with the panda) are voiced by Luci Christian and Chris Patton respectively; a.k.a.


Kaname Chidori and Sousuke Sagara from Full Metal Panic! and Fumoffu? (Chris has a list of credits as long as my arm, including Graham Specter from Baccano! Luci was Meryl in Trigun: Badlands Rumble)

I have never been surprised when it's brought up that Greg Ayres voiced a character because it's always obvious because he's got a REALLY unique voice. Which unfortunately I find only suits about 20% of the roles he's actually cast in.

What's kinda weird is he's also Taichi in Kokoro Connect and Keisaku in seasons 2 and 3 of Shakugan no Shana and while it's obvious that it's him, he does a good enough job masking his usual tones that he manages to pull it off.

Oh yeah. Ayres can definitely pull it off where he's downright fantastic in a role, Beck: Mongolian Chop Squad is a role where he loving shines because he really down-pitched himself and didn't go so squeaky and it works. He's okay in a bunch of other stuff too, but there's some poo poo he's in where I found he just does not work at all, and it's especially worse then they have him do double duties for stuff. For example, Tokyo Magnitude 8.0's dub has Ayres pulling minor character duties, and every episode I could tell that it was Ayres because it was the same loving voice every time. That really hurts a dub.

Speaking of Beck: Mongolian Chop Squad. It also has someone that has a fantastic range to her voice. Brina Palencia voices Maho, who also went on to voice Rei for the new Evangelion movies, and also voices Tony Tony Chopper for One Piece.

Along with Mikoto Suou in School Rumble, Ruiko Saten in A Certain Scientific Railgun, and the Kinoshita twins in Baka and Test. Definitely one of my favorite voice actors that Funimation has, mostly because of her performance as Saten and especially Holo.
