It's like the staff purposely chose them, could it be just a coincidence?

Type casting is probably a thing. Some just wind up playing specific roles. Also people can look like how they sound so picking a right sounding voice would mean possibly picking someone looking similar,

The VA performance probably increases if they can visually identify with a character.
No, this isn't my signature.

"Why do some VAs resemble their characters?"

1. The authors of the anime wanted to reference them working on the project.
2. Some characters in the source can be written with specific VAs in mind.

Detective Conan has examples of both.

HA I've thought about this too. It's uncanny how often they actually do look like their character.
Why did you post 2 pictures of Hana Kana?

It is obvious, they should resemble characters both physically and mentally.

I look at the first comparison and I do believe that the VA resembles the character as well as the original poster of this thread. He's there for attention.

Some people have pointed out that both the Japanese and English voice actors of Tenya Iida, Kaito Ishikawa and J. Michael Tatum respectively, resemble him pretty closely. Although Ishikawa resembles him much more when he's wearing glasses and Tatum resembled him much more before his hair migrated from his head to his chin.
Some of you never watched Bakugan Battle Brawlers on TeleToon in 2008 and it shows.
