Line 1: {{creator}} {{quote\| ''[[The Obi-Wan\|Toshiyuki]] [[Toshiyuki Morikawa\|Morikawa]] never told you how he described your father, ~~[[TV~~All The Tropes]].''~~<br />~~ ''He described enough! He described that you [[Cut List\|cut]] him!''~~<br />~~ ''No. '''[[Luke, I Am Your Father\|I]]''' [[Luke, I Am Your Father\|am your father.]]'' }} Who else has the privilege of dubbing over [[Badass\|Darth Vader]], '''''[[Brian Blessed]]''''' ''and '' [[Superman]]? [['''Toru Ohira]]''', that's who! Toru Ohira is a seiyuu and actor who has been with anime since the beginning. Literally. Beginning in the early 60s as a narrator, most of his modern roles have him [[Pigeonholed Voice Actor\|pigeonholed]] as characters with short tempers, usually of the [[Large Ham\|hammy]] (and [[Large and In Charge\|corpulent]]) variety. One exception is his performance as the dub voice of [[Star Wars\|Darth Vader]] in the most recent (~~2004-present~~2004–present) ''[[Star Wars]]'' movies and edits along with ''[[Soul Series\|Soulcalibur IV]]'', although needless to say, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JSnnKdyXIhM he makes Vader in Japanese sound rather hammy (and corpulent)]. As far as Western counterparts go, although Toru Ohira's most famous role was originated by [[James Earl Jones]], his career appears to have more in common with that of [[Fred Tatasciore]] or '''''[[Brian Blessed]]''''' himself. (Sorry, [[Norio Wakamoto\|Wakamoto]]). Line 17: * Narrator for many sentai series, and played 1 [[Big Bad]]. * ''[[Star Wars]] Episode I: [[The Phantom Menace]]'' - Boss Nass, actually his ''first'' ''[[Star Wars]]'' role - dubbing over '''''[[Brian Blessed]]'''''! (See above.) * ''[[Superman (~~Film~~film)\|Superman]]'' - Jor-El ([[Marlon Brando]]). Also voiced [[Superman]] himself in the [[Superman Theatrical Cartoons]]. * Dub voice for [[The Simpsons (animation)\|Homer Simpson]] and [[The Flintstones\|Fred Flintstone]]. D'oh! (''[[Beam Me Up, Scotty\|Not]]'' modified into 'Shimatta Baka ni!'<ref>This is what Homer translated "D'oh" as when speaking Japanese in the ''[[Dan Castellaneta\|original English]]'' version of "Thirty Minutes Over Tokyo".</ref>) {{reflist}} [[Category:Names to Know Inin Anime]] [[Category:Voice Actors]] [[Category:Toru Ohira]]
