The other (and newer) go-to guy for deep voiced villains. '''Joji Nakata''', often called ''[[Gratuitous English|George]]'' Nakata, is a man gifted with a [[Evil Sounds Deep|deep, astringent voice]], which lands him veteran roles. And, as we mentioned, villains. In fact, he has become so known for it that it is often easy to identify a person as evil just ''because'' [[Pigeonholed Voice Actor|Joji Nakata is voicing him.]] If he is playing heroes, you can be sure that the hero is either old, or at least an [[Anti-Hero]]. Either way, they also tend to hold mentor roles for other characters because his voice also lends itself well to exposition, explanations and [[Hannibal Lecture|Hannibal Lectures]]s.
 
He first made himself known in the English language fandom as [[Hellsing|Alucard]], but wasn't quite prominent as [[Superlative Dubbing|fans preferred Alucard's English version done by]] [[Crispin Freeman]], it wasn't until later when he became quite prominent on his own.
