Tropes associated with Nobuhiko Okamoto
- Anti-Hero: Some of his more noticeable roles tend to be this, such as Accelerator, Rei Ogami, Karma Akabane, and Katsuki Bakugo.
- Large Ham: Again Accelerator, Bakugo and also Nishinoya.
- No Indoor Voice: His voice acting for hammy characters such as Bakugo and Nishinoya requires lots of yelling. This damaged his vocal cords to the point that he needed surgery, but fortunately, he recovered quickly and it didn't affect his career much.
- Pigeonholed Voice Actor: A majority of his characters tend to be handsome, heroic characters. Interestingly enough, some of his well-known roles happen to be anti-heroes instead. He's also voiced several characters with a Hair-Trigger Temper.
