Ryusei Nakao

"My power level is 530000."

Another great candidate of villain voices, second to only Norio Wakamoto. Despite his high pitched, wry voice and versatile acting skills... Ryusei Nakao tends to be cast as someone who has the label of Complete Monster in Boldface. Most of his characters tends to be extremely sadistic, cunning and scheming, mostly on the intelligence side.

His two most infamous roles: Frieza of Dragon Ball and Mayuri Kurotsuchi of Bleach pretty much sums up the quality of his main forte roles. But... we did say he is a versatile actor, right? Then, what do you say when you know he voiced... Buster Bunny, dubbed?

But then again, considering his reputation for being a charming gentleman and ladies' man with a sweet and gentle (you read that right) singing voice.... Mean Character, Nice Actor, anybody?

Appeared as a guest in Denshi Sentai Denziman, where he got to sing a disco number. Then, he went on to voice the Big Bad of Tokusou Sentai Dekaranger
