After watching alot of anime in the past year, I reach to the conclusion that Japanese voice actors are absolutely amazing, they are so talented! Unlike the western industry the voice actors for cartoons are really really good, and they are famous just for being a voice actor for cartoon. I mean, they are so important in an anime that you get situations when you watch an anime for the sake of a certain seiyu, (Which I admit, is what I am actually doing), you certainly don't get this with western cartoons.

My favoruite voice actor is Koyasu Takehito (子安武人) because I love his voice, it is such a beautiful voice. However, right now, the voice actor I most admire now is probably Yamaguchi Kappei (山口勝平), because his voice range is absolutely amazing. I mean, after hearing him scream out Inuyasha's "Naruku, I am going to kill you!" , then hear him purred out Ran in Suki na Mono wa Suki Dakara Sh?ganai's line of "Yoru, I only belong to Yoru," it is quite scary and amazing, that his voice range is just so wide. He was voicing two characters who are like at the two extreme end of a voice range. (If you have listened to Yamaguchi's lines in "Suki na Mono wa Suki Dakara Sh?ganai!" then you'll understand what I mean. Basically his character speak in the opposite of Inuyasha, and in one case he was purring. I'm not joking!)

Anyway, I want to put something interesting on my blog. This is a list I got from my sister, who in turn got it from her friend, and I have no idea where her friend got it from. But any way a bunch of japanese voice actors were asked the question of what one thing they would take to a no-man island. The list is actually in chiense so i kind of translated it, using the help of Wikipedia I managed to get most of it done. Although there are eleven voice actors whose name I still could not find and therefore it is not in romanji, but still in Kanji. So sorry about that!

My sister and I were actually writting our own comments beside it but that isn't done yet.Any way, please enjoy. I had a quite good laugh when I read the list. by the way i followed the japanese way of putting last name first.

Quite an interesting question, isn't it? If I am asked the question then I'll bring Sayid Jarrah from Lost with me, (he'll be able to protect you and hunt for you, so you basically don't have to worry about survival much), and if the answer have to be realistic then I'll bring an useful guy with me.
