Takashi Matsuyama is a Japanese actor, voice actor, and singer. Formerly a volleyball champion in junior high, Matsuyama decided to make acting his goal in life. He attended a training center owned by the Bungakuza theatre company, but was denied membership because the troupe did not need him. Despite being told this, he persisted and eventually landed numerous live-action and voice-over roles.
Matsuyama often voices older male characters who may have villainous tendencies. He is capable of making his vocal pitch sound boisterous or sinister depending on the role. So far, he has lent his performances to Bulnoil in Brigandine: Grand Edition, Jim Franklin in Full Moon o Sagashite, and Necalli in Street Fighter V.
