Ryūsei Nakao

Nakao is the reason cartoons scared me as a kid. His Frieza purrs politely while promising to erase you, and that gap is the whole trick. Then I learned the same throat voices Bakabon's Papa, and I refused to believe it. Born in Tokyo in 1951, a child actor who never stopped, handed the Kei Tomiyama Award in 2017. Decades of voice, still working.
