Voice actors

Merechan · 05-25-2011, 06:45 PM

So, I randomly started to Google voice actors from Naruto to see what other shows they did and a few of them shocked me...

My favorite discovery was that Sasori's voice actor, Takahiro Sakurai, also voice Takahashi Misaki from Junjou Romantica. I don't know about you guys, but that amused me endlessly. He also played Edward Cullen in the Japanese dubs of Twilight, New Moon, and Eclipse.
Another interesting one is That Akira Ishida (voice actor for Gaara) was... wait for it... Michiru Nishikiori in Kamichama Karin. Which was a bit of a shocker, because they sound absolutely nothing alike and have opposite personalities. He also played Jack Dawson in the Japanese dub of Titanic. (♥)
You've probably all noticed this one, but Noriaki Sugiyama (Sasuke) was England in Hetalia. (♥) He was also that guy in like the third episode of Hell Girl which was creepy when I watched it and wasn't expecting that.
Minato's voice actor (Toshiyuki Morikawa) was also Isaki Ryu-whatevertheheckhisnamewas in Junjou Romantica. (Another giggle for me) And Jounochi Katsuya in Yu-Gi-Oh! (Whose name I think was Joey-something in the English version.)
Romi Park (Temari) played Edward Elric in Fullmetal Alchemist.
Junko Takeuchi (Naruto) played Mokuba Kaiba of Yu-Gi-Oh!
Kousuke Toriumi (Kiba) played Haruhiko Usami in Junjou Romantica. (Another giggle- I wonder if he likes strawberries?)
Kentaro Ito (Chouji) played...... Hiroki Kamijou in Junjou Romantica. (No giggle here... I'm not sure how to feel about it. o_o Hiro-kun...?)
Nobutoshi Canna (Kabuto) played Nowaki in Junjou Romantica. (Which is now going to give me nightmares involving Chouji x Kabuto)
Kazuhiko Inoue (Kakashi) was also Eiri Yuki (or whatever his name was?) in Gravitation. He was also Miyagi in Junjou Romantica. He has a good yaoi-voice.
Masashi Ebara (Might Guy!!) played Mojo Jojo in Demashita! Powerpuff Girls Z.

I'm entertained by strange things...

Lmao! Good stuff.

I prefer the Japanese voiced version of Naruto simply because the voices just seem to match the character pretty well in my opinion. I tried watching some episodes in English, but I couldn't stand it. The voice acting was horrible! The dialog in Japanese sounds like it flows more naturally to me. That, and I picked up some Japanese. =)

Wow wow wow!

Many of them have done voices for both Naruto and Junjou, which is a bit surprising to me.

It surprised me too. o.o I wonder if there's a connection?

Wow, totally unexpected to be honest with some of those people.

I am totally amazed they are the same in some of those. Temari=Edward Elric? lmao

That's pretty much why I thought I'd post it. ^^
