[[Norio Wakamoto]]...

Line 61:

* Denpa Shogun in ''[[Myself Yourself]]'', the [[Big Bad]] of a sentai [[Show Within a Show]].

** The narrator for the opening crawl in the original. "There exists a place they say is blacker than any darkness, deeper than any ocean..."

* Gene in ''[[Metal Gear Solid]]: Portable Ops''.

** Which explains why he has a [[Compelling Voice]].

Line 69:

* Imran Zakhaev in the ''[[Modern Warfare]]'' series.

* Here's one for you: [[Zatch Bell|Victoream]]. Yes, ''[[Memetic Mutation|that]]'' [[Villain Song|one]].

* Mr. Sinister in the Japanese dub of ''[[X-Men]]''.

* Kagato in ''[[Tenchi Muyo!]]'' and ''[[Tenchi Universe]]''.

* Xemnas in ''[[Kingdom Hearts]]''.

* Neue Regisseur in ''[[Super Robot Wars Original Generation]]'' and ''[[Super Robot Wars Compact 2|Super Robot Wars Impact]]''. Rather [[Hilarious in Hindsight]], since both Kyosuke and Blade are voiced by [[Toshiyuki Morikawa]].

* Chaos in ''[[Dissidia Final Fantasy]]''

** Also, Rubicante in the DS version of ''[[Final Fantasy IV]]''.

* He was Marller's sidekick, the [[Large Ham]] God of Poverty, Senbee, in ''[[Ah! My Goddess]]''. "SHAKKIN!"

* Megatron in the Japanese dub of ''[[Transformers Animated]]''. [[Transformers (film)|"All Hail Megatron"]] indeed...

** [[Transformers (film)|Movieverse Megatron]] in the video games based on the ''Transformers'' movies. (In the movies themselves, he's voiced by Kotaro Nakamura...)

* The Owl in ''[[Wolf's Rain]]''. Yes, it was an evil owl. And yes, it was the most awesome character in the entire anime.

* General Bat in ''[[Getter Robo|Shin Getter Robo Vs. Neo Getter Robo]]'' and ''[[Super Robot Wars GC]]''

* Mumkhar in ''[[Xenoblade Chronicles]]''.

=== For his non-villainous roles, here's a bit of his portfolio: ===

Line 123:

* Woodchuck in ''[[Record of Lodoss War]]'' (but note that Wood {{spoiler|ends up a victim of a Karla-induced [[Grand Theft Me]]}}).

* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KESJUktMkog#t=4m0s Diao Chan] in ''[[Koihime Musou]]''.

** "Such a sober voice!"

* General Winters Socalo in ''[[D.Gray-man]]''.

* In ''[[Sailor Moon]]'', he played a softspoken [[Nice Guy]] ([[Playing Against Type|bwuh?]]) named Yusuke Amade. He worked as a jazz artist and was in love with his co-worker, Akiko Yanagi, but [[Cannot Spit It Out|was too shy to tell her]]. As Naru and Usagi attempted to get to know him more, since Naru was a major fangirl of him, Amade became a target of the ''youma'' and Sailormoon had to save him. His sexy voice (and piano playing) attracted all da ladies.

Line 138:

** He is also a narrator for ''Hokuto Musou''.

* Duke Duffau in ''[[Chrono Crusade]]'', leader of the demon pursuers. Interestingly, the character was an antagonist of sorts in the manga (although he mostly ignored the heroes and went straight for Aion), but in the anime adaptation, he got upgraded to an uneasy ally with the Magdalene Order.

* Non Human Sidekick Chew Toy Koujun from ''[[~~Ryofukochan~~]]''.

* Non Human Sidekick Chew Toy Koujun from ''[[Ryofuko-chan]]''.
