I have many and (at risk of self-promotion, if you can call it that) can check the complete list here.
Now, if you want me to make a top or something, at the moment, it would be something like this:
Top 5 male seiyuus
1. Junichi Suwabe: Liked him while watching Bleach, but I fell in love with his voice when I heard his acting in Fate/stay night. A man with an epic voice that can sound badass, sexy, pleasant and even hilarious depending on his roles. Still my favorite male Japanese voice actor to date.
Some roles of him I like: Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez (Bleach), Archer (Fate/stay night), Yami Sukehiro (Black Clover)
2. Hiroshi Kamiya: Probably the most hilarious voice actor I had the pleasure to heard, his acting never fails to crack me up. Very easy to recognize. Also awesome to play insane characters.
Some roles of him I like: Shinji Matou (Fate/stay night), Koyomi Araragi (Monogatari Series), Kiyoshi Fujino (Prison School)
3. Jouji Nakata: Most badass voice ever and one of the most recognizable voice actors to ever live. Especially good while acting for evil characters, but I always love to hear him in whatever role they assign to him. Surprisingly good for comedies too.
Some roles of him I like: Kirei Kotomine (Fate/stay night), Alucard (Hellsing), Shigaraki (Gugure! Kokkuri-san)
4. Toshiyuki Morikawa: Love him for how classy and badass he sounds in most of his roles. Just like Nakata, very good while playing villains, but also very funny in comedic roles.
Some roles of him I like: Tyki Mikk (D.Gray-man), Yoshikage Kira (JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure), Bondrewd (Made in Abyss)
5. Katsuyuki Konishi: This man is one of the examples of how quick one can go from sounding badass and imposing to absolutely hilarious. Along with Kamiya, one of my favorite voice actors in what refers to comedies. Knows well to play villains despite having lots of heroic roles.
Some roles of him I like: Kenji Kazama (D-Frag!), Gakuto (Prison School), Diavolo (JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure)
Top 5 female seiyuus
1. Nana Mizuki: Favorite female Japanese voice actress. Not only does she have a pretty incredible range (being able to voice little girls and adult women alike) and a beautiful voice, but she’s also an excellent singer.
Some roles of her I like: Pandora (Saint Seiya: The Lost Canvas), Najimi Ajimu (Medaka Box), Moka Akashiya (Rosario + Vampire)
2. Rina Satou: Just like Nana Mizuki, very wide range, from cutesy to very deep and imposing contralto. Perfect for voicing tomboys, mature women or caring onee-sans. She was one of my first favorite seiyuus too.
Some roles of her I like: Punie Tanaka (Dai Mahou Touge), Kaoru Tanamachi (Amagami SS), Velvet Crowe (Tales of Berseria)
3. Shizuka Itou: One of the sexiest voices of the industry. She’s also very pleasant to hear when she uses a higher pitch (like with teenagers or young girls). Another of my first favorites.
Some roles of her I like: Lenalee Lee (D.Gray-man), Kaori Kanzaki (Toaru Majutsu no Index), Takao (D-Frag!)
4. Marina Inoue: I love how deep and sultry her voice can get, yet how cute and silly she can sound in other instances. Love her when she gives voice to mentally scarred characters.
Some roles of her I like: Sodachi Oikura (Monogatari Series), Kyouko Kouda (3-gatsu no Lion), Kana Minami (Minami-ke)
5. Yukari Tamura: I really dig her sassy, high-pitched voice and is probably one of my favorite loli voices. Funny thing is that I didn’t liked her voice much at first, but watching more and more series with her ended making me loving her voice a lot.
Some roles of her I like: Suzuha Amane (Steins;Gate), Togame (Katanagatari), Yamada (B-gata H-Kei)
This may change from time to time, but so far, things would be something like this. |
