Shigeru Nakahara

Shigeru Nakahara (中原 茂, Nakahara Shigeru, born January 22, 1961 in Kamakura, Kanagawa) is a Japanese voice actor and narrator affiliated with Local Dream Production. His grandmother was German making him 1/4 German. Nakahara graduated from Tokyo Announce University and debuted as a voice actor in the eighties. He was married to fellow voice actor, Satomi Kōrogi, but they have divorced over mutual differences. Known for being a modest individual, he acts friendly and conservatively during interviews and live events. During his days off, he may visit his favorite cafe to perform a special group meeting with fans. His hobbies include singing, music, watching movies, and shopping.

Nakahara often lends his voice for young attractive males with conservative or rowdy personalities. A few of his voice roles include Show Zawa in Aura Battler Dunbine, Demon Fox Kurama in YuYu Hakusho, and the portrayal of Motonari Mōri in the Sengoku Basara series. Within the Japanese dubbing business, he has provided the Japanese voice for Brandon Walsh in Beverly Hills, 90210, Vinnie in Biker Mice from Mars, and Prince Edward in Braveheart.

He and Soichiro Hoshi shared a cake to celebrate their one hundredth appearance at Neoromance live events.
