I’m so sad to hear of this. Thank you for composing this in his memory.

Unshō Ishizuka - His Biggest Roles

Rest in peace. On August 13th 2018, Unshō Ishizuka passed away from esophageal cancer. And as a veteran of voice acting, he deserves to be remembered and thanked for his work. So, in no particular order, I present to you some of his biggest roles that he’s been performing since 1984 and that I’ve been able to enjoy! There’s a good chance that I’ve left out some roles that you’ve enjoyed, so let me know in the comments below.

Seiyū Love: Atsushi Abe

Half of the leading creative duo in “Bakuman,” manga artist Mashiro was my first Atsushi Abe character. From awkward junior high school kid to articulate and capable artist, Abe matured Mashiro over the course of the series. Squeaky embarrassment, impassioned speeches, petulant grumbling — Abe’s portrayal was completely genuine, drawing viewers into the series. The interplay between Mashiro and his professional counterpart, writer Takagi, were so lively and dynamic that you became more invested in them as the story progressed.

Initially, I didn’t believe it when I looked up the seiyū for Izumida from “Yowamushi Pedal.” A diehard weightlifting fanatic with semi-self-aware pectorals (and now his back, too, apparently), Izumida speaks with a flamboyant flair and the complete confidence any proud member of Hakone Academy’s inter-high cycling team rightly deserves. He is absolutely nothing like Mashiro, and I still can’t hear even the slightest hint that those two characters share the same set of pipes, which I always consider a testament to a voice actor’s skills. The difference is simply remarkable.

While Izumida is competition for the heroes, Ren is clearly an antagonist in the card-game based anime “Cardfight!! Vanguard.” Ren lacks the youthful exuberance of the other two, and the way he speaks has a definite chic factor — calm, cool, and occasionally condescending. There’s also a smooth, slipperiness to Ren’s voice you could say is a bit sexy, a quality not found in the others.

Hero to baddie, clumsy to confident, inspiring to demoralizing, Abe can stretch his voice to meet his characters’ needs with exceptional clarity and absolute believably. I sometimes feel I’m the only one who has watched “Bakuman” and Yowapeda, so I hope folks are at least somewhat familiar with the references. Abe’s is a voice worthy of fan awareness!

Thank you for all your work in sharing all this!

Nobuhiko Okamoto - Compilation Post (kind of)

This all started when I started considering watching Sangatsu no Lion again, and since I was on the topic of one of my favourite voice actors (who is known for playing shogi), I decided to dig a little deeper. I wanted to share my findings here. I will list sources, and I will share the highlights of what I found.

“Okamoto-san competing shogi and he beat a pro! >w<

Look like his opponent is a pro (he’s talking about pro but I’m not sure he is a pro or not ^^;) and look like those two get along with each other really well^0^ They talk about the anime nobukun cast in too and they laugh a lot :D”

Niconico video

(Original Tumblr Post)

Unfortunately, the video is not subbed and is a little long.

I found some other interesting facts online. There are quite a few different sources. I’ll try to list them right here: - This AWESOME POST (I put that in caps because I don’t know how I didn’t find it or the account behind it before, and now I will probably have to take sometime later to go through their whole ) - Wikipedia 

All cited quotations are from the “awesome post” which is linked right above. Most of the following facts are from that post too.

After graduating from secondary school, he entered some voice acting training courses associated with his agency (Pro-Fit) to pursue his dream as a seiyuu.

To be able to pay for his training, he worked at a 7-Eleven and a post office.

His family is very strict and conservative.

He was into video games when he was younger, but his parents were against letting him play video games and ended up limiting him to a one-hour per day time limit (THIS POOR BOI)

[Regarding his gaming] his parents told him, “If you want to play games, you can play shogi.” This ended up being the reason he started playing shogi.

He is a practicing Catholic (ironic since one of his most iconic roles is playing the son of Satan; I should add that the Wikipedia’s source is not available)

He’s a 3rd dan ranked shogi player, and he once aimed to be a professional shogi player.

He has a huge love for sweets. I follow his blog, and a lot of his posts involve sweets.

“his favorite [candy bar] would be Black Thunder chocolate bars (same as Kamiya Hiroshi and Ono Daisuke), and at one point, he always ends up buying Black Thunder by the box, stocking up on it, and eating up to 10 bars in one day, that his agency decided to restrict him into eating just one bar a day.” (let the poor guy eat his chocolate)

He is easily bullied by other seiyuu (check out the original post which has gifs of his mishaps)

“[While recording] …he ran away from the mic, forgetting that he was wearing headphones connected to the mic and ended up messing up the recording room, and the staff had to rearrange everything.”

He’s a big fan of Pokemon (someone needs to get him to voice a Pokemon)

Here’s another cool post about him. I’ll be sourcing that for the next little round of facts. I’ll be putting it in quotes because I’m directly quoting from the post.

“As a student, he used to fall asleep on the train and miss his destinations sometimes. He thinks that it’s really comfortable to take a nap there.” (Yeah, you say that until you somehow end up in the middle of nowhere and wonder where you are and why you even exist.)

“He suffers from hay fever in the spring. Said that the symptoms kill him.” (you and me both except mine are year-round and gradually getting worse.)

“He played with Lego bricks when he was a kid.” (If he’s the type of person who left out the bricks and made people experience pain because of it, I will personally leave Lego bricks outside his door. Those things hurt when they’re unexpected.)

“He loves the indoor life.” (don’t we all…)

“He read the Harry Potter series.” (I did too! Not that I remember any of it.)

“His cute, foreign Furby only speaks English. Noburin stated, “English is very hard.”” (HOW DO PEOPLE SLEEP KNOWING THEY OWN ONE OF THOSE? I WOULD BURN IT IF I GOT ONE.)

“In elementary school, the girl he liked gave him chocolate on Valentine’s Day. He said he felt like crying from the shock.” (I haven’t experienced that. Was he happy because it was that girl who gave him chocolate or because he got free chocolate?)

“He was hospitalized before when he was a child due to a bad cold (or maybe the flu).” (Well, that diet sure doesn’t help, and I doubt screaming all the time is good for you. Weirdly, I can’t say anything more than that because I do both too except I scream internally while he does it as his profession.)

He was in the badminton club during secondary school.

Here are some other interesting links I found too while searching for more facts.

http://seiyuuslittleforest.tumblr.com/search/nobuhiko+okamoto - This account doesn’t want their content reposted, and I assume that means citing their facts as well. I’m going to respect their wishes. All the facts that they made involving Nobu can be found at that link. It’s basically just searching his name in the search bar. There are many interesting facts there involving his love of sweets and his relationships with fellow seiyuu.

These ones are for me to read later when I get the time to. His interview for “Tiger and Bunny” His interview for 3-gatsu no Lion

Seiyū Love: Marina Inoue

Did you ever find the voice of Armin from “Attack on Titan” a bit haunting? Soft, on the quiet side, although he lacks confidence, he’s often the voice of reason among friends and antagonists. Armin’s despair, trepidation, anxiety and courageous stands — we feel every moment with sincerity because of the talent of Inoue’s performance. Whose heart didn’t beat faster as Armin desperately worked to convince his fearful comrades with logic and conviction that Eren was no threat but an ally of world-altering possibilities? It’s a complex role wonderfully played. 

From intense drama to comedy, the breadth of Inoue’s abilities is impressive. Sakura from “RIN-NE” often acts as the comedic straight man to the silly supernatural antics that surround her. Inoue does a fantastic job with this critical character who can slay others with a blandly spoken, “Ah,” “Oh, really?” or “Is that so?” Although we see Sakura’s thoughtfulness and consideration toward others, she is a very opaque character, so we’re dependent on Inoue’s delivery to give us insights into this comedy heroine.

I love being surprised by seiyū, and that certainly was the case when I learned  Momo Yaoyorozu from “My Hero Academia” is one of Inoue’s. Arguably a natural leader, Momo is capable of a clear, commanding voice. She’s also well educated and upper crust, which can be heard in her elocution as much as what she says. Despite all this, she is also a young lady, one who is not completely comfortable with her special power that requires her to have a lot of exposed skin. When her dignity is impinged upon, her voice...you can just feel it, and it’s nothing like anything else I’ve heard from Inoue.

I have to applaud the diversity of characters Inoue has brought to life. The ones I have experienced are all distinctly unique and marvelously conveyed. I look forward to hearing the return of these three and more in the future.

Seiyū Love: Takahiro Sakurai

Kira from “Bleach” was the first Takahiro Sakurai character for me, but I thought more people would know Sasori from “Naruto.” Although they are very different characters (Kira = hero; Sasori = villian), both are a bit cold and not mentally well adjusted. (Then again, who is mentally well adjusted in “Naruto”?) Sakurai’s slightly raspy voice somehow contributes to the sense you can’t be quite sure you can trust what those two say.

It seems to me Sakurai often plays especially complicated characters. This is exemplified by McGillis Fareed from “Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans.” Arrogant to a fault and constantly calmly in control, he uses the people around him like tools, all while charming them with the words they want to hear. Alternately an antagonist then an ally, his complicated past makes him ambitious but also has broken his humanity. Somehow, Sakurai manages to express all that, an awe-inspiring feat.

Equally complex is Yasaburō Shimogamo from “The Eccentric Family.” The third brother in his shape-changing tanuki family, not much is supposed to be expected of him. Yet despite his best efforts, he manages catching some complicated responsibilities only he is capable of handling. Sakurai has to not only convince us he is this clever, charming, silver-tongued scamp but also he has to stretch his voice to both genders and many ages to fit the identities Yasaburō changes into — quite the challenge!  

I would be remiss in my appreciation for Sakurai if I didn’t mention another leading role that’s dear to my heart because he’s so darned funny, and that’s Polar Bear from “Polar Bear's Café.” If you haven’t seen this charming series of a world where animals live and work alongside humans, allow me to recommend it strongly. It’s a who’s who of amazing talent getting to play parts you wouldn’t normally associate with them. Polar Bear is the quiet-spoken, mild-mannered, punster proprietor of his delightful cafe. This slice-of-life series is always fun, and as a bonus, nearly every seiyū gets to sing an end song in character.

Sakurai is probably the most difficult one for me to write about because he’s been in so many series! I was torn regarding which characters to mention. I think it says a lot about his talent and versatility, and perhaps his likability, that he seems to be in every other show out there. All I know is, whether it’s a cold-as-ice baddie or a kind and cuddly polar bear, I’m always happy to hear him.

Seiyū Love: Yoshitsugu Matsuoka

As the lead in “Sword Art Online," Yoshitsugu Matsuoka was able to express a plethora of emotions through Kirito — calculated caution, unbridled anger, happy whimsy, quiet tenderness, etc. — a lot of ground was covered in the various series, making him a favorite. Other roles have allowed Matsuoka to focus on narrower character traits, expanding on them to show us just how far he can take his voice.

Initially, when I found out Matsuoka played Hajime Aoyagi in “Yowamushi Pedal,” I thought I had mixed up the characters. To say Aoyagi is laconic would be an understatement, and when he does talk, it’s usually in a low, quiet, almost inexpressive voice. I was left wondering, “How can that be Matsuoka?”

I was equally perplexed and amused when I learned Maasa Shirahone from the recent “Cute High Earth Defense Club HAPPY KISS!" is another Matsuoka character. Perky, vindictive, and deceitful, I can only imagine Maasa was a fun role to play, but he was certainly not like anything I’d heard from Matsuoka before. It also allowed us to enjoy more of his talent with humor.

If you think heroic to laconic to snotty is a wide range, Matsuoka stretches his voice even further with the outright outrageous Belkia from “Servamp.”  This vain and petty vampire has almost no normal reactions, giving Matsuoka the opportunity to play this over-the-top, out-of-control character with wild abandon.

In writing this, it occurs to me smaller roles are just as often the ones that cause me to really appreciate the depth of a voice actor’s abilities. I liked Matsuoka just fine when I only knew him as “the guy who plays Kirito,” but these other characters strengthened my regard. Here’s to the smaller, quirkier roles!

Seiyū Love: Yui Ishikawa

So far, I’ve mainly written about seiyū with pretty hefty resumes. Of course, talent comes with resumes of all sizes. One of my recent favorites is Yui Ishikawa. Many fans are probably familiar with her as the amazingly deadly Mikasa from “Attack on Titan.” Although Mikasa seemed to be a regular girl before the murder of her parents, Mikasa is known for her serious, subdued demeanor and low, quiet voice. This makes it all the more powerful when she is moved to tears or shouting. Of course, the subtler feelings are just as telling, and we feel every nuance of emotion Mikasa lets slip thanks to Ishikawa’s performance.

The lead of “Violet Evergarden" shares a lot of traits with Mikasa, though she’s going in the opposite direction — from soldier to civilian. The story explores Violet’s gradual growth from inarticulate weapon to capable Doll, able to skillfully express emotions with words. It’s Violet’s ability to speak truths plainly, quietly, calmly that is the foundation of the series. Combined with the sumptuous animation and top-notch supporting cast, it’s quiet the potent show!

Given the lethal nature of Mikasa, Violet, and other characters Ishikawa has played, I was pleasantly surprised to discover she also voices Hinaki Shinjō, protagonist of the third “Aikatsu!” anime, which is based on an idol card game. Perky, upbeat, and easy-going, Hinaki is nothing like Mikasa or Violet. If you want to experience a different side of Ishikawa’s vocal ability, this is the show to try. And, yes, there is singing!

I look forward to seeing what other roles Ishikawa brings to life in the future. If she can go from cute pop stars to killing machines, I’m sure she’s capable of being fantastic in any role that comes her way.

14.3 inches of rain in 2 hours

That’s how much precipitation fell Sunday in Uwajima, Japan, 1.5 times the normal total rainfall for the month of July in 2 hours. About a dozen prefectures were impacted by torrential rains. Two million people had to flee their homes. Over 100 have died. Looking at the devastation, it’s amazing it wasn’t more. If you’ve seen the pictures, you know how bad it was and still is. My heart goes out to all those who have lost loved ones, to all those displaced and facing an uncertain future. 

The US definition of a “heavy rain event” is 2+ inches in 2 days. 

Two days — not 2 hours.  

Having 14 inches of rain fall in such a short amount of time is not normal, but it’s happening more often. From 2000 to 2010 heavy rains and flooding increased 50% worldwide. This isn’t a hypothetical; it isn’t debatable. We are experimenting with the only world we know, the only world we know to have sentient life. Our dependence on fossil fuels has increased greenhouse gasses, which causes warming, which increases moisture in the air, which causes more heavy rain (and snow!) events.

I wanted my tumblr to just be about fannish stuff, but how could a Japanophile blithely post as though nothing had happened?

Atmospheric CO2 just hit 410 parts per million, a level that the Earth hasn’t known in millions of years, since well before the dawn of civilization, and Japan floods. Des Moines was hit with 5-9 inches overnight on July 1st; Puerto Rico just got 2-4 inches. 

What’s it going to take to get regular folks engaged with this issue? To do something about it?

What do you do about it?

Seiyū Love: Kenjirō Tsuda

More fans are probably familiar with Kenjirō Tsuda’s role as arch-rival Seto Kaiba “Yu-Gi-Oh!,” but for me Vincent Bold from “Space Brothers" is my iconic Tsuda character. Vincent is an intimidating, uptight, ex-military astronaut instructor with a complicated past. He’s cold, critical, and dismissive of civilian astronauts and is a personal and personnel roadblock to the lead. We really don’t like Vincent in the beginning because Tsuda lets the bitterness of a man whose life-long goals have been thwarted seep into every word.

Although there may be a more villainous character I'm unaware of, master swordsman Sanji’s vicious younger brother Yonji from “One Piece" is a perfect example of how Tsuda’s gravely voice lends itself to bad guys. The same qualities that can be good for badness can also be used for coolness, as Tsuda’s long list of cool heroes can attest — Zaveid from “Tales of Zestiria the X,” Nino from “ACCA: 13,” Graze from “The Heroic Legend of Arslan,” and Shijaku from “Gintama,” to name a few.

Since the first Tsuda role I encountered was an older man, and so many others were baddies or cool guys, I was surprised to hear him also play high-school characters. The quirky, amusing Sadaharu Inui from “Prince of Tennis,” and energetic, enthusiastic Seijūrō Mikoshiba from “Free!,” showcase his the breadth of emotions and personalities Tsuda is capable of performing. 

All of the characters mentioned have a quantity of cool in them. Then there’s Hannes from “Attack on Titan." Arguably a drunkard, although he’s a unit captain, he is rather laid back, not particularly driven and close to cowardly, attributes that Tsuda conveyed perfectly, despite the seemingly natural manly dynamic of his voice. Regardless of Hannes’s failings, he rises to the level of hero in the end, a remarkable accomplishment for him and Tsuda, given their limited airtime.

With his deep, smokey voice, Tsuda could easily have been typecast as a villain or dark hero, but his talents have provided him more diversity, which continues to expand over time.

Seiyū Love: Kaito Ishikawa

Ledo from “Gargantia on the Verdurous Planet" was the first Kaito Ishikawa character who caught my ear. Raised for the soul purpose of defending the last of humanity from the space alien threat of the Hideauze, he is calm, cool, and collected during even the most dangerous crises. When he gets stranded among civilians, he has to learn a new way of life, allowing him to evolve from his nearly automaton existence to a full-fledged human being. This growth is accomplished as much through Ishikawa’s performance as through Ledo’s experiences, making audiences root for our less-than-charismatic hero.  

Given how serious Ledo can be, I was surprised to realize Ishikawa also plays the lead from the supernatural action comedy “RIN-NE.” Capable but perpetually impoverished, Rinne Rokudō is serious on the surface — After all, he seriously wants enough food to eat!  — but he is constantly thrown into ridiculous situations that require immense deadpan comedy skills, which Ishikawa delivers marvelously.

His ability to combine serious + comedic has served Ishikawa well in other roles, as well. Volley ball setter Tobio Kageyama of “Haikyu!!” is initially so serious that it cripples his ability to play as part of a team. A part of Kageyama’s struggle to improve includes not just his growth as a player but as a person. Kageyama’s most serious moments change from being horrible to humorous thanks to Ishikawa. Tenya Iida from “My Hero Academia,” has had some downright dark plot lines, when our earnest class-rep’s clear, crisp voice drops to a gravely rumble of restrained rage, but in lighter moments he can be boyishly awkward and charming.

I have a thing for earnest characters, so Iida was a given, but I didn’t initially like Rinne or Kageyama. For Ledo, the first episode was such a wild ride that it kept me engaged, rather than the calculating lead. For the latter three, it was Ishikawa who made me care about the characters, his ability to express the subtle expansion of their personalities. They started standoffish but became beloved characters through Ishikawa’s nuanced portrayals. Without Ishikawa, I might have missed out on some wonderful shows.

Seiyū Love: Mayumi Tanaka

Mayumi Tanaka has been a part of my seiyū awareness from the beginning, most prominently as Kuririn/Krillin in “Dragon Ball.” (Yes, Fanwoman is a big Dragon Ball fan.) She’s one of the reasons I become displeased when US fans occasionally deride the practice of using women to play the roles of young men. Like the others I’ve mentioned, she is a remarkable talent who deserves respect and appreciation...and not just because Kuririn’s one of my favorites! 

Initially a sly little snot, over time Kuririn grew and got to express every emotion under the sun — anger, terror, consolation, encouragement, exhaustion, resolve. Similarly, Monkey D Luffy from ”One Piece” is practically limitless, and Tanaka can stretch her voice to fit any situation as much as Luffy can stretch his rubberized body. Unrestrained shouts and laughter and everything in between; Tanaka’s authenticity pulls us into Luffy’s adventures as strongly as any mighty ocean’s current.

Sadly, I couldn’t find a name for Tanaka’s role in “Space Brothers”; she’s only listed as “Nanba's Mother” (Nanba = the lead and his brother). Quirky, plain spoken, perpetually peppy, Tanaka steals pretty much every scene she’s in, adding extra delightful charm to this realistic, near-future series that’s an expression of love for space exploration. One of the other reasons this role stands out for me is that not every performer can successfully pull off accents. I’m not sure what prefecture she’s channeling, but it sounds great to me!

To me, the thread that binds Tanaka’s characters together is humor. While there are a few more serious roles in her repertoire, the majority of them have upbeat, funny, and forthright, and her sincerity in expressing them is what makes her one of my favorites.
