Yūki Kaji

I'll be honest, if you've watched basically any anime in the last fifteen years, you've heard Yūki Kaji whether you clocked it or not, and that always kind of amazes me. He's the go-to for those fierce young protagonists, but what gets me isn't the boyish brightness, it's how he can flip into this raw, gut-level scream that makes a scene land twice as hard. Rookie award in 2009, then two straight Best Lead Actor wins, the man climbed fast and made it look casual. And he sings, he narrates, he does it all while seeming weirdly laid-back about it, which is almost annoying. I don't fully get why the same line hits harder when he says it, but it does, and I've given up trying to explain it.
