Tohru Furuya

Describe Tohru Furuya here.

All right. Over 50 years old, and still has the voice of a Bishonen. Whoa.

Anyway, Tohru Furuya is also one of the older seiyuus that, along with Akira Kamiya, triggered the second seiyuu boom. He is most famous for his role as the first Gundam hero Amuro Ray, and still continues on working even now, maintaining his bishie voice... which can still be heard in Ribbons "Bad Amuro" Almark of Mobile Suit Gundam 00. He uses the pseudonym 'Noboru Suigetsu' when working Ribbons' voice, just so the fans can differentiate him and Amuro... but really, who would be fooled?

His first role was actually as a child actor on Ultraman!

He was a close friend of the late Hirotaka Suzuoki.

Here he is in GPS form.
