Maybe because what you can't get is the most precious, so Nakamura Yuichi from the debut, is destined to be Sugita Tomokazu forever best friend, today's article, I want to talk with you about the friendship between Nakamura Yuichi and Sugita Tomokazu, I feel more enthusiastic than the male high school students they have matched.
But no matter how Muchu Sugita says that he is not suitable for male high school students, as a Japanese voice actor, this is a hurdle that cannot be bypassed. Not to mention that a big reason for his popularity is to dubble Ah Xuan in the "Ryogu Kasuga" series, and the two also starred as male lead voice actors in Keysha's famous "Three Gods" "Clannad" and "Kanon" respectively.
The male protagonist in "Clannad", Tomoya Okazaki, is one of the starting points for Yuichi Nakamura to become a popular voice actor.
Yuichi Nakamura, like many young people who aspire to pursue their dreams in the voice actor industry, went to Tokyo after graduating from high school to begin training, and debuted in 2001 with the role of The Griffin King in the TV anime "Computer Adventure", and met Tomokazu Sugita on the set.
For Sugita Tomokazu, 2001 was the lowest period of his career, and in addition to Yukana Nogami's tireless support for him, it was also a great help to get to know Yuichi Nakamura, a friend of the same generation.
On the other side, Yuichi Nakamura is not like this, like many newcomers to the voice actor industry, he can't make a living on the salary of voice actors in the early days, and can only live a life of auditioning while doing odd jobs. In terms of voice actor work, in addition to the dragon suit stage that most voice actors have, there have been many experiences as narrators.
Nakamura Yuichi's period of newcomers, who look very ordinary in the eyes of others, may not be so light for him who always thinks in a negative direction, and in 2006, five years after his debut as a voice actor, his goal for the whole year was "to die", and the next year only became "to live".
Perhaps because in 2007, he ushered in the beginning of his voice actor career, and his appearance in "Ace Pitcher Boom" and "Clannad" made Nakamura's popularity begin to rise, so in 2008, his goal became "can't die".
Audiences who have watched the two TV animations "Clannad" and "Kanon" must still have the impression that Sugita tomo and Yuichi Aizawa, who is responsible for the voice acting, always give people a sense of maturity above the level of male high school students, and when facing a group of standard two-dimensional beautiful girls around them, Sugita Tomokazu gives Yuichi Aizawa a soul, which is more like a higher-level "player" than the people in the play.
In "Clannad", Tomoya Okazaki, voiced by Yuichi Nakamura, is a veritable dramatist who is harmoniously integrated into the "family" of the town. This male high school student with a bad juvenile identity but a good heart can be said to be in line with the expectations of the animation audience at that time, and can also allow many viewers to substitute for the collection.
In terms of this positioning, Yuichi Nakamura's role of Tomoyuki Okazaki as a perfect actor is the best choice, and the role was later rated by the audience as one of the "Four Kings of the Two-Dimensional Campus", the other three characters are Kazuto Kiritani, Tatsuya Spoda, and Makoto Ito, whose expressiveness is evident.
It is worth mentioning that the male protagonist Spoda in "Magically Efficient Inferior Student" is also voiced by Yuichi Nakamura, plus Rhine Harut in 2016's "Re: Life in Another World from Scratch", the Lion King Division in "Dr.STONE" in 2019, and Gojo Goku in "Spell Return" in 2020, although it is not as popular as Matsuoka, a new-age male high school student, but Nakamura Yuichi is obviously also a dragon pride, And there is no conflict with Matsuoka's characteristic field.
The same is true in the daily department's campus romance dramas, and after "Clannad", there is also 2012's "Ice Cream" and "My Sister Can't Be So Cute!" Whether it is Origami Bongtaro or Kyosuke Takasaka, Yuichi Nakamura can perform with ease, and Yuichi Nakamura is obviously more "superior" in the new era of Japanese animation than his best friend Sugita Tomokazu Sugita, who basically can't play a male high school student.
It's just that at that time, the number of Sugita Tomokazu's Twitter fans still overwhelmed Yuichi Nakamura, after all, even if he was not a male high school student, the former's personality charm would not be reduced by a fraction.
Compared with Tomokazu Sugita, Yuichi Nakamura will appear more in the sight of domestic animation audiences, but his wide range of drama may often make it difficult for audiences who do not know much about voice actors to detect his real body.
Take several works that are familiar to domestic animation audiences as an example, the aggressive and arrogant male character Kojiro Rinomiya in "Spirit of the Eater", the undocumented knight who is weak but always adheres to the justice in his heart in "One Punch Superman", and the other "dragon trainer" Takitani Makoto in "The Dragon Maid of the Kobayashi Family", can be described as several young supporting characters with very different personalities, but they all have a very strong sense of existence under the interpretation of Yuichi Nakamura.
Even in 2016, Yuichi Nakamura played the role of a single father in "Innocence and Lightning", which can be said to be in stark contrast to the various examples mentioned above. In fact, this is not Nakamura's first attempt, in the second half of the plot of "CLANNAD~AFTER STORY~", Okazaki tomoshi also had a period as a single father, but compared with "Innocence and Lightning", the style and content of the two works are in different fields.
As voice actors of the post-80s generation, Yuichi Nakamura and Tomokazu Sugita can be described as first-line voice actors with deep acting skills.
Compared with the fiercer idol competition on the Japanese female voice actor side, male voice actors do not have very harsh requirements in terms of age, so acting skills and experience accumulation can play a greater advantage, not to mention that even their predecessor Anwu people are still active in the front line of the voice actor industry.
As long as the Japanese animation industry is not finished, I believe that you will still hear their voices in ten years.
