Ryūsei Nakao

Ryūsei Nakao (竹尾 智晴, Nakao Ryuusei, born February 5, 1951 in Tokyo) is a Japanese voice actor affiliated with 81 Produce. He is married and two children: a son and a daughter. Having been part of the entertainment world since the age of 3, Nakao once worked under the stage name Tomoharu Minamiya (南谷 智晴, Minamiya Tomoharu). Horseback riding, skiing, skating, and diving are among some of his hobbies.

Nakao's higher vocal pitch is usually reserved for villainous or cunning characters. But when it comes to overseas dubs, he tends to play more heroic roles. He has lent his voice to Yakko Warner in Animaniacs, Frieza in Dragon Ball, and Tatsuya Sudou in Persona 2.
