Toshiyuki Morikawa (森川智之)[[note]]sometimes misread Tomoyuki[[/note]] (born January 26, 1967) is one of the seiyuus who has been around since the old days (having attended the same voice acting class with Creator/KotonoMitsuishi) and currently still lends his voice to the job. He has quite a huge fanbase too (due in part to being one of the more attractive seiyuu around), and is the current voice of Sephiroth from ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII''. His voice range is [[ManOfAThousandVoices versatile]], ranging from [[TheStoic calm and cool characters]], to HotBlooded young men, to even psychopathically cold villains. From badass to {{Bishonen}}, he does them all just fine. Regardless of morality, if the character has WhiteHairBlackHeart (such as the aforementioned Sephiroth), there's a good chance he's voicing them.

According to [[http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/people.php?most_prolific=cast Anime News Network]], he has the second ''most'' number of roles in anime after Creator/TakehitoKoyasu — as of November 2022, he is one of the only three Japanese voice actors with over 600 credits.
