'''Snake''': Colonel, I need you to describe ''[[Gratuitous Japanese|seiyuu]]'' here for me.
'''Colonel''': You want to know about [[David Hayter]], huh, Snake?
'''Snake''': Huh? No, not my English voice actor, Colonel, but my '[[Gratuitous Japanese|seiyuu]]', the Japanese equivalent of a voice actor.
'''Colonel''': Oh, right. My mistake. Akio Ohtsuka is one of the most respected seiyuu veterans in the business. He's the son of another veteran seiyuu, [[Chikao Ohtsuka]] (who's still active), making him an ''old son''. Until a few years ago, he was also married to another seiyuu, [[Yoko Soumi]], known for her [[The Vamp|Vamp]], serious lady or [[Femme Fatale]] roles (like Karen Kasumi from [[X (manga)|X 1999]] the TV series, Atsuko from ''[[Yu Yu Hakusho]]'').
'''Snake''': So he's part of seiyuu royalty, eh? I wouldn't be surprised if his kids became seiyuus as well.
'''Colonel''': Known for a deep, gruff voice that fits him into veteran-like roles, Akio often lands characters who are widely considered [[Badass]], making him quite a fan favorite amongst older seiyuus. He'll gladly do humor roles, as well.
'''Snake''': Going from serious to humorous, eh? Wouldn't it be best to stick to one role?}}
