As the saying goes, voice actors are monsters, and anyone who wants to become a mouth can be. That's true. As a popular anime in Japan in the 80s, Saint Seiya has a large number of characters, which has led to many characters being voiced by the same voice actor.
Domestic saint fans first began to contact Saint Seiya from the dubbed version of the Chinese jointly translated and produced by Shenyang Television Station and Guangzhou Television Center. However, when the editor later revisited Saint Seiya, it was all the original Japanese sounds. Re-combing found that many of the characters who appeared in the Saint Seiya, although the image personality tone was particularly contrasting, but it was actually voiced by the same voice actor, which was really shocking and unbelievable. (PS, this article is limited to the voice actor part of the TV version of Saint Seiya Animation, because the Pluto chapter was produced in the form of an OVA after many years, and the voice actor lineup changed blood, so it was not combed.) ）
Important people are placed at the end, starting with a few supporting roles of golden oil. Ken Yamaguchi, Shigeru Nakahara, and Masaharu Sato, all three of them are all-rounders in The Saint Seiya, Ken Yamaguchi has 3 characters, and Shigeru Nakahara and Masaharu Sato are more ruthless, with 4.
Ken Yamaguchi first voiced the Dark Dragon in The Dark Saint Seiya, then the Hot Saint Seiya, and finally the Tarantula Silver Saint Seiya. All three supporting characters. However, the dark Draco is the most impressive. Ken Yamaguchi later became president of the voice actors office and died in 2011.
Shigeru Nakahara is also a veteran voice actor, and the representative role is the Tibetan horse in "Youyou White Book". In Saint Seiya, he voices 4 characters: Dark Pegasus, Tennohi of Steel Saint Seiya, Sapa Disciple Lotus Silver Saint Agra, And Divine Fighter Devil Crystal Arubelisi.
Also a veteran voice actor, compared with Shigeru Nakahara, Masaharu Sato also played 4 roles in the Saint Seiya, but unfortunately most of them were unruly miscellaneous soldiers, such as the private saint Douglas, the chief of staff Kigas, and the murderous miscellaneous soldier Jack. There is only one character with a head and a face, the Sea Fighter Sea Prince Clausius.
Veteran voice actor Ryoichi Tanaka debuted in the 70s, but he was not very famous, and his younger brother Kazumi Tanaka was also a voice actor, dubbing jellyfish in the Ghost Saint Seiya In the Deep Sea. Ryoichi Tanaka's most famous character is Discus cancer in Saint Seiya, the famous weak chicken in The Golden Saint Seiya. In addition, he made a cameo appearance as Dior, the Silver Saint of Corpus Flies, who was put on the Archer's Golden Cloak for the first time by Hoshiya, and then a shock wave dried up one of the three Silver Saint Seiyas.
Many of the settings of Saint Seiya were overthrown by Masami Cheda in the later stages, but clues can still be found in the Saint Seiya TV anime. For example, Hoshiya's sister Hoshihwa may be a magic bell. Because, both are the same voice actress Yuriko Yamamoto to act as the voice actor. Another famous character that Yuriko Yamamoto has played is Yulia in Hokuto Shinken.
Since Yulia has come, Akira Kamiya, who voices Kenjiro, will definitely follow. Kenjiro, voiced in Akira Kamiya Hokuto Shinken, is a tough guy who still plays the tough guy in Saint Seiya, Aruglu, shield of Medusa, Silver Saint Seiya of Perseid, and Česky Fred, the chief God Fighter double-headed dragon. What's more interesting is that Kenjiro likes to reveal seven scars in burst clothes, and Arugaru and Česky Fred, who are voiced by Akira Kamiya, are defeated by the purple dragon who also likes burst clothes. What a cycle of retribution!
If only these voice actors had served as multiple Saint Seiya characters at the same time. Then the following characters are actually played by the same voice actor, which is a bit strange.
Sagittarius Golden Saint Aeolos is the most perfect righteous character in Saint Seiya, and his voice is voiced by veteran voice actor Yara Yoshisaku. However, in the Nordic chapter of Saint Seiya, he went to make a cameo appearance as Duru the Divine Fighter.
On November 16, 2017, voice actress Hiromi Tsuru died of a heart attack. Hiromi Tsuru's most famous character is Bulma in Dragon Ball. In Saint Seiya, Hiromi Tsuru takes on two completely different female roles. One is Jenny chameleon, the sister and girlfriend of the instant, and the other is Dietis, the mermaid in the Sea Fighter. Jenny and Dietis, one pure and lovely, the other mature and charming. It's hard to imagine that it would be the same voice actor.
The Golden Saint Seiya has always been a popular character in saint seiya, while Saga is a popular character in the golden saint seiya. Yuji Miya, who voiced Saga, was a popular voice actor in the 80s, most famously in Tatsuya Uesugi in Baseball Heroes. Saga is another masterpiece of Yuji Miya. However, in the Nordic chapter of Saint Seiya, Yuji Miya also made a cameo appearance in Saint Seiya Mimi.
The following is a voice actor that Xiaobian likes very much, Andozawa kanehito. Several famous characters that Shiozawa has matched have been welcomed by fans. In addition to the noble and elegant Mr. Mu in the Saint Seiya, there is also the fiery Nandou WaterBird Fist Rey in the Big Dipper God Fist, and the rational and cold "Dry Ice Sword" Oberstein in the legend of the old galactic heroes. But what if the editor told you that Shiozawa Kanehito also made a cameo appearance as the Dark Swan in the Dark Saint Seiya? Can you associate the noble and elegant Mr. Mu with the Dark Swan?
Keiichi Namba is a well-known veteran voice actor who voiced Abrodi by Saint Seiya, and that slightly neutral feeling fascinated many fans. However, in the Sea Emperor chapter, Namba Keiichi goes to voice the Sea Emperor's human body, Julian Thoreau, a heroic nobleman.
In Saint Seiya, many of the twin characters are voiced by the same voice actor. For example, Sagaron was initially taken over by Tsang Ibu and Gong, and the Pluto chapter was replaced by Ryutaro Tsubasa. Another pair of brothers in the Saint Seiya, the Black Tiger and White Tiger Brothers in the Norse Divine Gladiators, the ShiduBadu Brothers, are also played by veteran voice actor Mizushima Yu. The Hidu Badu brothers are tough guys, and Mizushima Yu or Hong Jinbao's dedicated Japanese blowing substitute. However, Mizushima Hiroshi also served as the voice actor of the Silver Saint Of the Lizard Lord, Misty, a special female cannon role.
If you say that all of the above has been endured, the last one is really intolerable.
Hideyuki Tanaka has been involved in the voice acting of several popular anime, such as Kōyo Yuki in Slam Dunk Master. He voiced Leo's golden Saint Aeolia in Saint Seiya, and vividly portrayed the majesty and gentleness of the lion. But! But! But! This cargo also made two other supporting roles in Saint Seiya, which is really unbearable.
One is the Bronze Saint Seiya's Five Weak Sirius Nachi, who was knocked down by a Phoenix Illusion Fist by Yihui. Well, it's tiger and wolf again, really tiger wolf voice actor. In this way, Hideyuki Tanaka actually gave the second dolphin of the three monsters of the deep sea in the Ghost Saint Seiya to the sound. Well, it always feels weird!
Please raise your hands high, give the editor more likes, more comments, more forwards, more attention. Xiaobian is grateful and hereby kneels to thank you.
