Tohru Ookawa

If the newer generation of seiyuus needs a candidate for Memetic Badass... this guy may be one of such candidates.

Put it simply, Tohru Ookawa is a seiyuu born in 1960 and has the distinction of one voice actor that CANNOT be pigeonholed into any roles available. This guy can voice little, annoying brats, into suave young men, into Hot-Blooded men, into Manipulative Bastard, into Cool Old Guy... what a guy.
