Hikaru Midorikawa

Hikaru Midorikawa (緑川 光, Midorikawa Hikaru, born May 2, 1968) is a Japanese voice actor who is affiliated with Aoni Production. He was born in Otawara, Tochigi as the eldest child of three siblings (one younger brother, one younger sister). The identity of his wife is secret and he asks for continued privacy due to the couple having similar professions. Midorikawa has a rather busy schedule yet he somehow finds time to play video games and professes to be a gaming addict for online games. A few of the titles he has been known to play are Animal Crossing, Super Smash Brothers, and Raganarok Online. He has admitted to be planning to raise a child soon. If all goes well, Midorikawa stated he will quit his love for video games in order to completely dedicate himself to fatherhood. According to his good friend and mangaka, Ami Shibata, Midorikawa is the type of person who doesn't have a lot of lasting friends.

He has voiced several characters throughout his career, but he usually acts out characters in media targeting the female audience -especially within the otome game genre or boys love market. He is fan of Nitroplus's music choice and is well known for voicing Shiki from their game Togainu no Chi. At the same time he voices several action roles such as Number 16 and Tenshinhan in Dragon Ball Kai, Dio Brando in the Jojo's Bizzare Adventure: Phantom Blood game, and Firion in Dissidia Final Fantasy.

Midorikawa is known to dote on several characters he has voiced. He likes being able to act out Heero and marvels at the idea of owning "his own Gundam". Japanese Gundam or Super Robot Wars communities have spotted him often using one of Heero's Mobile Suits under various aliases. Regarding his role as Mitsuhide, he has always wanted to say the general's historical line at Honnoji and is happy to deliver it whenever it appears. Midorikawa admitted to have sympathized with Mitsuhide worrying about his daughter due to his own hopes of being a father.
