IMO, Suzumura Kenichi.

He would be just perfect.

Oh wow, from his introduction I immediately thought of Kenichi and Kenichi only for his voice.

personally, i'm imagining him as Ishida Akira or Fukuyama Jun (in his human Rikuo voice).

IMO, Kumagawa will be one of the hardest seiyuu choices ever as I can't even think of a character remotely similar to Kumagawa.

Then again, I don't think the anime will even be able to get to Kumagawa unless they seriously rush through the entire flask plan arc, which is like 50 chapters.

I think Jun Fukuyama is a good match but I also think Nobuhiko Okamoto works too !

I agree with Akira and Fukuyama, Okamoto would be a strange choice with his grittiness, but it could be really interesting if he pulled it off. Hell, even if he doesn't play Kumagawa, I definitely wanna hear him play this kind of wildcard.
My candidates would be Kaji Yuuki (very fitting, innocent voice, but I'm not sure he has the skill), Kimura Ryohei (maybe a bit off, but certainly has skill) and Namikawa Daisuke (versatile voice, trolling experience).
It's not exactly an interesting choice, but Kamiya Hiroshi could probably do alright too. I'm probably overthinking this, but I've seen a couple of actors keep their roles from the "vomics" and taking him off Zenkichi might just mean this is their plan.

I wonder how the [ ]s will translate into speech, though. I just imagine he sounds unnatural like he's quoting from a book, but Gainax might try something weird.

Hmmm, I think Fukuyama Jun would do it pretty well.

Most likely it will be Kamiya Hiroshi.

I see no other reason why else they decided he won't be voicing Zenkichi.

I doubt they can get to Minus 13 AND finish it. But it's possible if it was 20+ episodes. After all, death note was done in 37 episodes for like 100 chapters of intense debates.

By the way, how do you speak like square brackets anyways?

And I think OP's choice is pretty good, if memory serves me of that lad in kara no kyoukai.

^ Akira Ishida is a very good voice, probably the best I see in this thread. I still remember Nagi and Kaworu's voice. Kumagawa is like the trolls of trolls, so it would fit nicely.

I don't know, Akida Ishida can be really funny (Katsura Kotaro from Gintama, for instance), but I think his voice is simply too deep for Kumagawa - who, to me, have rather playful young boy personality.

Suzumura Kenichi, on the other hand, has something I like to call honey-like voice - perfect for cute looking male characters, but this same voice of his can sometimes sound really sinister (again Gintama instance, Okita Sougo).

But then again, it could be that female seiyuu will voice him - tough I doubt it would be Romi Paku who is either too serious, or too funny.

Madono Mitsuaki could pull it off well, I think.

I've always imagined Kumagawa with Miyano Mamoru's voice.

The only seiyuu I can think of to fit Kumagawa is Hiroshi Kamiya! I hope Kumagawa will be in the anime, but I don´t think so.

Let's up this one a little. So as of today Kumagawas Seiyuu is known and it's Megumi Ogata ! After watching KoiChoco tonight and hearing Yumes voice I thought to myself : "This gotta be Naked Apron-senpai !" Well I guess this will be quite interesting. So let's look forward to some Kumagawa randomness.
