Describe [[Takahiro Sakurai]] here, [[Digimon Adventure (Anime)|Troper-han]]!
 
[[Final Fantasy VII (Video Game)|Not interested...]] [[Dissidia Final Fantasy (Video Game)|Guess I have to]], though. Where do we start?
 
Think of him as a slightly older version of [[Mamoru Miyano]]: handsome guy (just check out his shots taken at the 62nd Venice International Film Festival) who also receives handsome guy roles by the truckload. Said handsome guy can be angsty (Cloud), mean (Kanda) or smooth-talking (Kagami). Most of all, a guy dedicated for his angsty [[Anti-Hero]] roles. He has made one notable exception of playing Suzaku, a guy who usually plays the hero, but this is later subverted. Big time.
 
In [[Relationship Voice Actor]] terms, Sakurai is often partnered with [[Kenichi Suzumura]]; the two are good friends in real life, formed a singing duo named R16, and host a radio show together. Both men also work with actress/singer [[Maaya Sakamoto]] somewhat often. Thanks in large part to ''[[Code Geass (Anime)|Code Geass]]'', he's starting to form a few connections with [[Jun Fukuyama]]. [[Chris Patton]] is something of an English equivalent of his--they share a few of the same roles (Fakir in ''[[Princess Tutu (Anime)|Princess Tutu]]'' and Sasame in ''[[Prétear (Manga)|Prétear]]'') and both are known for the [[Bishounen]] they play. Some of his roles has also crossed paths with [[Yuri Lowenthal]] ([[The Danza|Yuuri Shibuya]] from ''[[Kyo Kara Maoh (Light Novel)!|Kyo Kara Maoh]]'', Suzaku Kururugi from ''[[Code Geass (Anime)|Code Geass]]'', and Haseo from ''[[.hack]]'' series).
Junichi Sato seems to really enjoy Sakurai's work--he appears in several of the shows Sato has directed, normally as the (take a guess) [[Troubled but Cute]] [[Bishonen]].
