Thornton's career is difficult to track, due to the multiple names he has been credited under.

I hope the TotA anime gets dubbed, and if it does I hope he returns as Jade. I like Jade's Japanese voice too, but I think his English voice is so much better.

He also did a great Jin and Kuze. :D

Just finished Planetes. He captured Hachi's emotions so well.

Kirk Thornton is awesome as Jin from Samurai Champloo!


Simpleandclean93 | 04-18-08, 6:12 PM
YEA JIN .... he was Gabumon ... WTF!


MistressMorbid | 02-09-08, 3:50 PM
Wow, this guy doesn't look anything like I'd expect him to. xD But it doesn't matter, he's an amazing voice actor. I love his roles as Saito, Jin, and Brandon Heat. He has a really unique timbre to his voice, it's so soothing to listen to.

FrostyWaters | 10-08-07, 9:45 PM
