Kazuhiko Inoue (井上和彦, Inoue Kazuhiko
?, born March 26, 1954) is a veteran seiyū from Yokohama, Kanagawa, Japan.
About
Since his debut in 1973, Kazuhiko Inoue has become one of
Japan's most well established voice actors. His early roles from
the 1970's include Anthony in Candy Candy, and later as Joe in the 1979
remake of Cyborg 009.
In the 1980's, Inoue's work ranged from the adult-oriented Oishinbo (The Gourmet) to the
popular Tenku Senki Shurato for the younger
generation.
More recently, Inoue is known internationally for roles such as
Kakashi Hatake
in Naruto, Eiri Yuki in Gravitation, Aion in Chrono Crusade, Hatori Sohma in Fruits Basket, and
Nyanko-sensei/Madara in Natsume Yūjin
Chō. Inoue's voice performance is often described as natural
and relaxed.
This wide and versatile vocal range allows Kazuhiko Inoue to
voice roles of varying personality types: hot-blooded, righteous
main characters such as Joe in Cyborg 009, Akira Kogane in Golion, and
Kusanagi in Blue Seed;
cold and indifferent Eiri
Yuki; always fussing, hilarious, yet truly powerful mazoku
(demon), Guenter in Kyo Kara Maoh!; dangerously seductive
Aion; and sexy Chi no Byakko, Tachibana no Tomomasa in Harukanaru Toki no
Naka de Hachiyō Shō. Inoue is also well-known for more unusual
roles such as the transvestite Nagisa Sawa in Haru wo Daiteita, and Shiron the Windragon
in Legendz, who spends half
his time as a screeching hamster.
Kazuhiko Inoue not only voices for anime, but also lends his
voice to video games, drama CDs, Japanese-dubbed movies, and audio
books. He has put out many LP and CD albums and has sung in various
anime character albums. His most well-known songs are the ones
related to the Harukanaru Toki no
Naka de Hachiyō Shō series, which he performs live on stage at
the annual NeoRomance seiyū
events in Japan. In recent years, Inoue has also tried his hand in
backstage work such as sound directing. He has set up his own seiyū agency and school, B-Box, to teach the next generation voice
talents.
Being a "Hibakusha Nisei" (Second-generation of A-Bomb
Survivors,) Kazuhiko Inoue feels strongly against wars. In his
autobiographical piece, "Ai ni Tsuite", (爱について About Love, from his
CD album, "Ai", 2003) Inoue expresses his longings for world peace
and his love and respect for the ocean and Mother Earth. Similar
thoughts can often be seen in the entries he writes in his Kazufan Blog.
During leisure times, Inoue enjoys windsurfing. He also has a
chef certificate. He is blood type O.
Recently, Inoue won as "Best Supporting Actor" in the Third Seiyu Awards for his
role as Nyanko-sensei in Natsume Yūjin
Chō.
