Toshiyuki Morikawa

Toshiyuki Morikawa, born in 1967, is one of the seiyuus who has been around since the old days, and currently still lends his voice to the job. He has quite a huge fanbase too (due in part to being one of the more attractive seiyuu around). He is also the current voice of Sephiroth and attended the same voice acting class with Kotono Mitsuishi. His voice range is versatile, ranging from calm and cool characters to Hot Blooded young men to psychopathically cold villains. From Badass to Bishonen, he does them all just fine. Regardless of morality, if the character is a White Haired Pretty Boy, there's a good chance he's voicing them.

Best buds with Nobuyuki Hiyama, went as far as spreading a "Hiyama abandoned me!" mass phone call to other collegues while drunk once (when all Hiyama did was to send this guy a 20-minute taxi ride home by himself), he is also good friends with fellow seiyuu Fumihiko Tachiki and has a lot of co-workings with Nobutoshi Canna and Nozomu Sasaki.

Tropes associated with Morikawa:

 * Boke and Tsukkomi Routine: Morikawa's the boke, while Nobuyuki Hiyama is the tsukkomi.
 * Call To Voice Acting: As he himself recalls, he was out drinking with his friends one night when someone stepped up to him and said "You. You're D-Boy."
 * Cool Teacher: Guess what? Morikawa was actually one of the voice instructors of Tomokazu Seki, Katsuyuki Konishi, and Daisuke Hirakawa before they debuted.
 * Now, he's opening up his own voice acting school.
 * Dumb Muscle / Dumb Is Good: Coming from a sportsman background (American football and tennis to be exact), he's a simple-minded sweet guy from cuckooland. A far cry from the characters he usually portrays.
 * Fan Nickname: Morimori, also 'The Emperor' amongsts Yaoi Fangirls due to his prolific number of appearances in BL Drama CDs.
 * Kiai: To prove that he's still got it even at his old age, he screams so hotblooded that everyone thought he's gonna break a mic again.
 * Man of a Thousand Voices: Takes on an average of 3 characters per anime project, take that.
 * The Chosen Jock: Since he's a sports guy, Morikawa was originally pursuing to be a Physical Education teacher until a critical injury of fate prevented him from doing so. Out of curiosity (and possibly a hope to become at least a sports game announcer,) he took up the path of voice acting, which ended up with him becoming... Sephiroth~!
 * You Fail Video Games Forever: He doesn't know that the Play Station 2 he brought needed memory cards to save files, and when he brought a Nintendo DS as a gift for himself, he promised his fans in public to remember to buy memory cards for it...
