His voice is one of my personal favourites in terms of tone along with Sakurai Takahiro san and Tsuda Kenjiro san. Man that charismatic tone is really something else. I immediately fell in love when he voiced Satou in Ajin and Lt. Tsurumi in Golden Kamuy.
OMG, he is terrifying as Lt. Tsurumi, I love him. I spent a couple of episodes trying to remember why I absolutely know this voice (it's so distinctive!) but in the end I gave up and had to look him up. OF COURSE he is the voice of Jiraiya, it's been ages since I watched Naruto, but I still remember it. Never seen Ajin, but now I have to (and some other stuff he's in).
Asides from Jiraiya, a distinct and fantastic voice of old men that brings a sense of charisma, power, and fear to the scenery. Wish him the best and am always ecstatic when I hear him in shows.
