Yūsei Oda

Yūsei Oda (織田 優成, Oda Yuusei, born September 19, 1969 in Sendai, Miyagi) is the stage name of a Japanese voice actor and narrator affiliated with Aoni Production. An alumnus of Komazawa University's Faculty of Law, he has been part of the dubbing industry since 1992.

Born Katsuaki Arima (有馬 克明, Arima Katsuaki), he found himself working for Wit Promotion after being referred to by a friend during his university years. In 2003, he took on the stage name Yūsei Oda and went freelance for a time, later transferring to his current agency in January 1, 2009.

Oda also works as a writer under the pen name Hiroki Kannabe (神辺 宏樹, Kannabe Hiroki), having developed a passion for it some time before graduating. He usually keeps his identities as voice actor and writer separate, worried that one could potentially compromise the other. At one point, he felt somewhat embarrassed when his editor recognized him from one of his anime roles.

Known for taking on passionate male roles, Oda has provided his voice to characters such as Adol Christin in Ys III: Wanderers from Ys , Kengo Miyazawa in the Little Busters series, and Tōru Narasaka in World Trigger.
