"You know what this article lacks? DESIRE AND AMBITION!!!"

Toshio Furukawa is a seiyu who is born in 1946 in Tochigi, Japan. His roles are varied from the Unlucky Everydude Ataru Moroboshi [Urusei Yatsura], The Stoic Shin [Fist of the North Star], The Lancer Kai Shiden [Mobile Suit Gundam],and even The Rival / Big Bad Piccolo Jr. [Dragonball Z]. Furthermore, he can play Bishounen and Hot Blooded boys (see: Portgas D. Ace) as well.

Notable in:

 * Shin in Fist of the North Star
 * Kai Shiden in Mobile Suit Gundam
 * Burume in Xabungle
 * Piccolo Jr. in Dragonball Z
 * Olivier Poplin in Legend of the Galactic Heroes The awesome red haired Ace Pilot wisecracking sex machine.
 * Ashura in Soul Eater (Sheesh, how the HECK does he pull off such a high-pitched screech as a sixty-two year old man when similarly-aged veterans like Akira Kamiya can no longer do Kenshiro's similarly pitched battle cries?)
 * Probably because Kenshiro lasts for the entire series, while Shin is only for a few first, so Furukawa still has a lot of lung powers in reserve.
