Tomokazu Sugita: Difference between revisions

[[File:_aaa_sugita_1214.png|frame]]

 

 

One of the seiyuus who went from virtually unnoticed to VERY POPULAR thanks to the anime juggernaut that is ''[[The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya]]'', where he voiced [[Deadpan Snarker|Kyon]]. Before that, some people might recognise him as Hideki from ''[[Chobits]]'', but, well that's quite in the past. After his performance as Kyon, he started displaying a wide range of voices, making him one of the best and most revered seiyus in the business today. His forte is most likely the [[Deadpan Snarker]] type.

He also has some sort of rivalry with [[Tomokazu Seki]], just because [[Name's the Same|they have the same given name]]. They are in fact managed by the same agency [http://www.atomicmonkey.jp/ Atomic Monkey] which Seki is a founding member of.

** That one nickname for Kanako Kondou is a recurring joke during the Bururaji radio show.

** "Imagine-chan" likewise stuck to [[Asami Imai]] to the point that even she uses it regularly now.

* [[One of Us]]

* [[Perpetual Frowner]]: He may look like this from the start but once you've finished watching that show, you'd probably be laughing a whole lot.

** Nakamura and Sugita met early in their careers and have been friends for over ten years (they have the same otakuish hobbies...Nakamura's one of the only people who gets Sugita's references). Sugita always used to mention random facts about Nakamura on the radio shows he was on when Nakamura was still quite unknown in the industry and it quickly became a running gag between the other seiyuus on the radio shows that Sugita would mention Nakamura's name at least once each time he was on a show. They would tease him about 'that Nakamura guy' ['mata Nakamura ka!'] who they didn't know personally but had heard lots about from Sugita. One time they asked him if he had a picture of Nakamura because they finally wanted to see the guy Sugita was constantly swooning about and Sugita shocked them by revealing he had a picture of Nakamura as his cell phone wallpaper. Not only were they shocked at how good looking Nakamura was but hardly anybody believed Sugita's reason for having Nakamura as a wallpaper (apparently Nakamura teased him about having an anime character as a wallpaper so Sugita made a picture of Nakamura and used that as a wallpaper 'to spite him'. Uh-huh). Once Nakamura got more known in the industry people naturally started asking him about that 'Sugita business' and he usually denied having anything to do with him. Turns out Nakamura is just tsundere. All in all there's LOADS of reasons and material to back up this ship. Just start listening to any radio show Sugita's ever been on and have your mind blown. Heck, some female seiyuu even openly ship them!

** He does share some 'love rivalries' with Nakamura too, during a segment in a talk show about ''2nd [[Super Robot Wars Original Generation]]'', in which Nakamura debuted... Sugita is said to be a lil' jealous that Nakamura (as the just-debuting [[Super Robot Wars Destiny|Joshua Radcliff]]) is going to be paired with [[Houko Kuwashima]] (as Josh's little sister Cliana Rimskaya). [[Love Triangle|Admittedly both of them like/respect Kuwashima a lot]], [[Ho Yay|buuuuuttt...]]

*** On the SRW radio show, Nakamura gets Kuwashima to call him "onii-chan~" and then asks Sugita if he's jealous. He very much is.

** Heck, as stated above, he is capable of 'impersonating' [[Norio Wakamoto]]'s voice, in a level one would say '''Godlike'''. Let that sink for a moment. Jokes have been abound that if he's to enter that [[Norio Wakamoto]] imitation contest, he'll win with gusto.

** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=smhQi_0cb7s He lampshades it later on that while he claims he looked good on it, he still feels weird about it.]
