Toshiyuki Morikawa

Toshiyuki Morikawa (森川 智之, Morikawa Toshiyuki, born January 26, 1967) is a Japanese voice actor affiliated with Axl-One. He was born in Yokohama, Kanagawa.

Though he had a frail physique since childhood, he rigorously trained himself and took part in various sports throughout middle school and high school. As he was training to be admitted for his university's American football team, he suffered fractures along his neck bone and didn't get accepted. Thinking that there could be another way he could still participate in sports, he thought of becoming a sports announcer. Enjoying his voice training experience, he decided to ditch the university and instead aim to become a professional voice actor by training at Katsuta Voice Actor's Academy. Though training was harsh for him, he graduated with Kotono Mitsuishi, Michiko Neya, and others and made his debut in the late eighties. His abdominal muscles and voice are so strong that he has busted a microphone during one of his recordings.

Morikawa is well known for playing various "cool and stoic" characters in the anime and video game industry. A few of his roles include Dio in Casshern Sins, Bai Ji-Shin Chang (AKA Mr. Chang) in Black Lagoon, and Kuniharu Ogino in Cuticle Detective Inaba. Within the Japanese dubbing industry, he has provided the Japanese voice for Justin Hammer in Iron Man 2, Spider-Man (AKA Peter Parker) in Spider-Man: The Animated series, and Obi-Wan Kenobi in Star Wars: The Clone Wars.
