Yusuke Shirai

Honestly, Yusuke Shirai has one of those voices I never get tired of hearing. He's a Japanese voice actor with this wonderfully elastic range, the kind of guy who can play a cheeky, motormouthed troublemaker one minute and turn around and deliver something soft and tender the next, and you buy both completely. Born in 1986 up in Saku, Nagano, he carries this laid-back, slightly hard-to-pin-down energy that I find weirdly charming, never showboating, just quietly turning up in project after project until you go "oh, it's that guy again" with a little grin. He's less a flashy headliner than a beloved fixture, and I mean that as the highest compliment. I just hope he keeps talking his way through a hundred more characters.
