[[Cowboy Bebop|Spike Spiegel]].
 
Yamadera-san is more than that, of course. He usually voices cool men (Besides Spike from ''[[Cowboy Bebop]]'', Kaji from EVA''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]'' counts as well), but what makes him such a famous VA is his ability to just do [[Man of a Thousand Voices|ANY type of characters]], including [[Team Pet|Ein]] from ''[[Cowboy Bebop]]'', [[Donald Duck]] and [[Street Fighter|"Boxer" (Balrog/Mike Bison) in ''[[Street Fighter]]''. He also has dubbed actors for American films dubbed into Japanese, including [[Jim Carrey]], [[Eddie Murphy]], and [[Robin Williams]]. He was married to fellow seiyuu [[Mika Kanai]], from 1994 to 2006. He is also a skilled "monomane tarento" (impressionist), as [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ipYOFJ8RGAQ his appearances] in the variety show ''Monomane Grand Prix'' would prove.
