Toshihiko Seki

Toshihiko Seki (関 俊彦, Seki Toshihiko, born June 11, 1962 in Sendai, Miyagi) is a Japanese actor, voice actor, singer, and narrator affiliated with 81 Produce. He also works as a voice-over instructor for his current talent agency. People sometimes confuse him for Tomokazu Seki, another similarly named voice actor. He is also married and represents Tochigi as their future ambassador.

In his younger days, Seki was a kendo practitioner who spent 6 years honing his craft. While attending Komazawa University as an economics major, he wanted to do something different for a change and came across an article ad offering students on-one-on lessons by actor Natsuko Kawaji. Intrigued by the article's catchphrase, he decided to apply out of curiosity. This led him to start a prolific career in voice acting.

Animage Magazine's 26th Annual Reader Poll saw Seki ranked 9th by fans as their most favorite voice actor. Aside from voice acting, he also does live-action roles and children's songs. He humorously admits having difficulty reading sheet music during one of his recordings, even getting his own wife to sing the melodies for him beforehand.

Seki's baritone pitch combined with his experienced acting enable him to exude wildly different personalities, whether they be calm, agitated, or happy-go-lucky. Romance simulation fans love his portayal of characters who act gentle or rough. He is credited for voicing Loni Dunamis in Tales of Destiny 2, Kaien Shiba in Bleach, and Kyōsuke Irie in the Higurashi no Naku Koro ni series.
