History Creator / TakahiroSakurai

In RelationshipVoiceActor terms, Sakurai is often partnered with Creator/KenichiSuzumura; the two are good friends in real life, formed a singing duo named R16, and host a radio show together. Both men also work with actress/singer Creator/MaayaSakamoto somewhat often. Thanks in large part to ''Anime/CodeGeass'', he's starting to form a few connections with Creator/JunFukuyama. Creator/ChrisPatton is something of an English equivalent of his--they share a few of the same roles (Fakir in ''Anime/PrincessTutu'' and Sasame in ''Manga/{{Pretear}}'') and both are known for the {{Bishounen}} they play. Some of his roles has also crossed paths with Creator/YuriLowenthal (Yuuri Shibuya from ''LightNovel/KyoKaraMaoh'', Suzaku Kururugi from ''Anime/CodeGeass'', and Haseo from ''Franchise/DotHack'' series) and Creator/AndrewFrancis (Haseo from the ''Franchise/DotHack'' series and Kusuiuri from ''Anime/AyakashiSamuraiHorrorTales'').

He's probably not related to Creator/HarumiSakurai or Creator/MasahiroSakurai.

Think of him as a slightly older version of Creator/MamoruMiyano: a handsome guy who also receives handsome guy roles by the truckload. Said handsome guy can be angsty ([[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII Cloud]]), mean ([[Manga/DGrayMan Kanda]]) or smooth-talking ([[Manga/GetBackers Kagami]]). But mostly, he's a guy well-known for his dark AntiHero roles. He made one notable exception of playing Suzaku, a guy who would normally be TheHero of a MechaShow, but this is later subverted. Big time.
