The anime sphere has an abundant amount of seiyuu out there. Many come and go, and some are stuck with minor roles for eternity. But who do you feel is super underrated? Give an example of a character they voiced for context

Mayumi Shintani (Haruko from FLCL), I know she just got a role for a seasonal last season but she rarely gets roles

Minako Kotobuki (Mugi from K-On), her only big roles are Mugi, Asuka (Hibike), and Touko (Bloom Into You)

Hitomi Nabatame (Saori from Oreimo), (Nobue from Strawberry Marshmallow)

Atsushi Abe (Touma from Index), (Mashiro from Bakuman)

Aya Suzaki (Mako from Kill la Kill), Tamako from Tamako Market)

Ryou Hirohashi (Alice from Aria), (Kyou from Clannad), Yamada from Working)

I probably could go on forever to be honest, there’s a bunch of voice actors/actresses out there that don’t get enough recognition

Whoever does Ichigo from Darling in the Franxx. She also voices a random girl in this super boring anime about traveling back in time to draw pictures. She's great though.

I hope Yoko Honda is still out there. I wish she got more roles, she was great as Ichika in Uta∽Kata.

Not underrated, but I feel like no one really gives Megumi Ogata love on these forums. I love her performances a lot.

Maeda Takeshi (Ryo Marufuji from YGO GX). It was disappointing to see that he doesn't have much roles.

Hiyama Nobuyuki, nothing short of a legend. I can get this man's voice from anywhere. Unique performances all the time. I pretty much can see him there waving this arms like some madman whilst performing his lines.

Very underrated.

I was going to post about her, she has a really nice voice. Don't know why she has so few works.
Yeah, Irozuku Sekai no Ashita kara gets kinda boring sometimes, but I somewhat enjoyed it (bad ending though)

I would say English VA Jackson who voiced Nyanta from Log Horizon .
I don't know his other works but he nailed Nyanta's voice.

I don't know if Hiromi Tsuru can be considered as underrated, but being mainly active in old series and with only 300 favorites, I think she deserves to be a little more acknowledged. She gave life to so many classic, iconic and strong, yet pleasant girls and women.

From Bulma (Dragon Ball) and Madoka Ayukawa (Kimagure Orange☆Road) to Ukyo Kuonji (Ranma ½) and Meryl Strife (Trigun), she definitely had a great career and life. She even voiced Trinity, my favorite character of The Matrix Trilogy, in one of the episodes of The Animatrix.

May she rest in peace.

Naoya Uchida: Madara/Tobi, Askeladd, Hyakkimaru's dad, Nobunaga Oda (Drifters), Light's dad. Not a lot of big roles, but when he does get one he kills it. Never heard anybody mention him.

I just started watching Hanako-kun, and she's incredible as the title character. just the incredible range required to make the character interesting and likable but also at times suitably spooky, she's insanely impressive.

Kentarou Kumagai... https://myanimelist.net/people/42197/Kentarou_Kumagai
He is really good at voicing characters that panicked or have mental illnesses. His vocal range is amazing. He can also sing. But he is young so he can be more popular.

Koudai Sakai https://myanimelist.net/people/33081/Koudai_Sakai
His voice acting is very good but unfortunately he took part in animes that are always failed... He is not that young too, like c'mon he only has 28 member favorites :(

Naomi Oozora. She has an incredibly distinctive voice and character, and her portfolio is full of memetic characters, but Naomi-san is still mostly known only through her Satania connection. I hope she doesn't repeat the fate of Kana Asumi, who has a similar character archetype and catchy voice, but is mostly known only in the context of her hyped characters like Nyaruko and not in herself.

Ohkura, Kouji which is the seiyuu for Sasuke Furuta from Hyouge Mono and Amarao from FLCL is underrated and deserves to get more roles.

You watched recently original Yu-Gi-Oh! anime.

I remember how surprised I was when I heard Ogata in titular role, especially as Yami Yugi, since before that I only watched dubbed second, and more popular series.

IMO, she fit Yami so well, he seemed so dark, and mysterious, and in a good way.

After that I started second series, that is, Duel Monsters, but dropped it immediately since Shunsuke Kazama (who is, AFAIK, still Yugi's main seiyu) sounded not nearly as good as Ogata.

Maybe I will change opinion about his voice now, but I really think that they should have kept Ogata even after that first series.

Uchiyama Kouki and Saiga Mitsuki come to mind. Saiga gets main roles here and there, but most of the characters he voiced are supporting/side characters. That makes him underrated, but he's so talented and I love his voice.
