Kensho Ono

Kensho Ono fascinates me because of his astonishing vocal range as a performer. Voicing characters as different as Tetsuya Kuroko, JoJo's Giorno Giovanna, and Akutagawa from Bungo Stray Dogs shows a chameleon-like versatility that few voice actors achieve. Born in Fukuoka in 1989 and rising from child-actor roots, he capped his climb with the 2022 Seiyu Award for Best Lead Actor, which I read as proof of both talent and persistence. That he sings as well as acts only deepens my admiration. To me he represents the modern Japanese voice actor as a true all-around artist, and I expect him to keep evolving.
