Kōji Totani

Kōji Totani (戸谷 公次, Totani Kouji, July 12, 1948 - February 6, 2006) was a Japanese voice actor affiliated with Aoni Production. Born in Nagoya, Aichi, he attended Tokai University and received vocal training at Toei Audio Talent School, eventually making his debut in 1974. After his death from acute heart failure, his roles were taken over by co-star Naoki Imamura.

Throughout his career, Totani was often assigned villainous male roles due to his voice's astringent quality. There were occasions when some of his roles displayed elements of comedic relief. He was credited for voicing Lieutenant Brown in Super Dimension Cavalry Southern Cross, Capricorn Shura in Saint Seiya, and Hōki in Naruto.
