| 6 | Nobuyuki Hiyama (born August 25, 1967) is a veteran [[SugarWiki/NamesToKnowInAnime voice actor]] well-known for his [[LargeHam passionate]] [[RousingSpeech deliverance of speech]], and powerful {{Battle Cr|y}}ies using his invigorative metallic [[TenorBoy tenor]]. Thus making him the [[PigeonholedVoiceActor go-to actor]] for charismatic, [[{{Hunk}} steamy]], hot, [[TheHero heroic]] {{Bishounen}} characters. |
| 7 | |
| 8 | He's quite prolific according to ANN, with [[FanNickname fans nicknaming]] him as "The King of Braves/Yuusha-Oh" for his accomplishment in earning not just one, but ''two'' [[TheProtagonist leading roles]] within the ''Anime/BraveSeries'' franchise; namely, Might Senpuuji from ''Anime/TheBraveExpressMightGaine'', [[SequelDisplacement and, more famously]], Gai Shishioh of ''[[Anime/GaoGaiGar The King of Braves GaoGaiGar]]''. |
| 9 | |
| 10 | For additional heroic bonuses, he is also the man behind the character who wields the Triforce of COURAGE himself--Adult Link from ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime'', and Fierce Deity Link of ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaMajorasMask''--accompanied by him also being the first official voice actor for [[VideoGame/DragonQuestIII Three]], the most recognizable hero of the ''Franchise/DragonQuest'' series. |
| 11 | |
| 12 | However, it was Hiyama's [[IceQueen cold]] and [[TheStoic cool-headed]] characters [[StarMakingRole that gave him his breakthrough to begin with]]. Namely, Hiei of ''Manga/YuYuHakusho''. While he is capable of doing [[ChessMaster calculating]], and [[PsychopathicManchild psychopathic]] characters, his forte resides in HotBlooded characters such as Viral from ''Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann''. |
| 13 | |
| 14 | Best buds with Creator/ToshiyukiMorikawa, and close friends with Creator/HikaruMidorikawa, Creator/RyotaroOkiayu, and [[Creator/NozomuSasaki his]] ''[[Creator/ShigeruChiba YYH]]'' [[Creator/MegumiOgata castmates]]; this includes Music/MegumiHayashibara, as hinted in her biography manga, [[http://nnanime.com/megumi-toon/mgbk118.html Megumi-Toon]]. [[note]]Hiyama is coded as "H-Yama-kun."[[/note]] |
| 15 | |
| 16 | Along with Morikawa, the two of them were involved with the birth of Creator/ShowHayami's ''Franchise/SuperStylishDoctorsStory.'' Post [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2011_Tōhoku_earthquake_and_tsunami 2011 Earthquake]], Hiyama is also one of the core members of the voice-actor charity organization, “Seiendan (Voice Supporters)” led by Creator/KazuhikoInoue. |

| 67 | * Gai Tendo in ''VideoGame/BurikiOne'' and starting from ''[=KoF=] 99'' |

| 79 | * Hiei in ''Manga/YuYuHakusho'' (StarMakingRole) |
| 80 | ** The most memorable and iconic role on Hiyama's resume, but compared to his other characters, Hiei's more of a [[MemeticMutation memes generator]] than getting [[ActorAllusion actor allusioned]] because of how iconic the character is. |

| 102 | * Kojyuuro Takeda in ''VisualNovel/TheyAreMyNobleMasters'' |

| 221 | ** Specially appointed in need for his Hiroshima accent, and bares a striking resemblance to Hiyama.

| 222 | * Yuutarou Akebono in ''VisualNovel/YouAndMeAndHer'' (credited as Nodogashira Houdentei) |
| 223 | ---- |
| 224 | !!Tropes associated with Hiyama's career: |
| 225 | |
| 226 | * TheHero: Hiyama’s [[PigeonholedVoiceActor pigeonholed typecast]]. Ever since he landed the role of [[Anime/TheBraveExpressMightGaine Might Senpuuji]], he proceeds to earn the package of at least one HeroProtagonist per year for a total of ''7 years'' '''straight'''! |
| 227 | --> '''Hiyama:''' I believe I've done a great job fighting for justice in the 90's. [[note]]From Gurren Lagann Radio episode 22.[[/note]] |
| 228 | * LargeHam: |
| 229 | ** Hiyama's pretty infamous in the industry for being "[[NoIndoorVoice annoyingly loud]]," but Hiyama takes it as a positive compliment than a negative one. |
| 230 | --->'''Hiyama:''' "It's not me who's loud, [[NeverMyFault you guys are just way too quiet]]." [[note]][=RadiPuri=] (Prince of Tennis Radio) episode 355.[[/note]] |
| 231 | ** [[UsefulNotes/JapaneseDialects Chugoku Regional Dialect]]: The Hiroshima Prefecture is known for [[WorldOfHam breeding pork for generations]]. And yet Hiyama's the only one from his generation of seiyuus who fully hones the classic Hiroshima Dialect. |
| 232 | * ProductionPosse: For Director Creator/HiroyukiImaishi of Creator/StudioTrigger. Imaishi noted in ''Anime/KillLaKill's'' commentary to have come across, and implied to have [[LoveAtFirstNote taken Hiyama’s voice to heart]] when they were both [[NewMeat new meats]] in the industry. |
| 233 | * ThoseTwoActors: |
| 234 | ** To Creator/HikaruMidorikawa (TheHero vs. TheRival) |
| 235 | *** The main difference between Hiyama’s character rivalry relationship with Midorikawa and Midorikawa’s rivalry relationship with Creator/TakehitoKoyasu, is that Hiyama would pretty much ''always'' be on TheHero's side, while Koyasu on the other hand would often switch around the hero-rival roles with Midorikawa. |
| 236 | *** Notable works with their relationship: ''Anime/TheBraveExpressMightGaine'', ''VideoGame/VoltageFighterGowcaizer'', ''Manga/FushigiYuugi'' (subverted for once [[note]]but Hiyama's character easily [[CurbStompBattle curb-stomps]] Midorikawa's.[[/note]]), ''Literature/TheStoryOfSaiunkoku'' [[note]][[PlayedForLaughs As to which side do they stand depends on the eyes of the beholder]].[[/note]], ''Anime/SaintSeiyaOmega'' (subverted for twice [[note]]yet ''again'', Hiyama's character can also [[CurbStompBattle curb-stomp]] Midorikawa's if he wants to.[[/note]]). |
| 237 | *** While not following their usual dynamic, both star in ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosMelee'' and ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosUltimate'' as well. Which makes any fight scene between their characters sound like [[Franchise/TheLegendofZelda Link]] and [[Franchise/FireEmblem Marth]] are deliciously hamming it up like there's no tomorrow. Perhaps as a nod to this, Melee has an event match that pits their characters against each other. In ''Ultimate'', Hiyama ended up with [[VideoGame/DragonQuestIII another fighter]]. |
| 238 | ** To Creator/KatsuyukiKonishi ([[ThoseTwoGuys Those Two]] [[RedOniBlueOni Red Oni & Blue Oni]] Teammates) |
| 239 | *** While not necessarily [[BackToBackBadasses back-to-back teammates]], their roles would usually end up in the same alliance. And while in the same alliance, they will be assigned as either a Red Oni or a Blue Oni contrasting each other. |
| 240 | *** Notable partnerships include: ''[[Anime/GaoGaiGar King of Braves GaoGaiGar]]'', ''Manga/{{Bleach}}'', ''VisualNovel/{{Polyphonica}}'', ''Anime/SaintSeiyaOmega'', ''Anime/KillLaKill'', ''Anime/{{Promare}}'', ''VideoGame/TalesSeries'' [[note]]Official crossovers have records of pairing Hiyama and Konishi’s heroes up for drama skits.[[/note]], and last but not least, literally, and ''hilariously'' paired up in ''VideoGame/JStarsVictoryVS'' as default teammates within the story mode. |
| 241 | --->'''[[Manga/{{Beelzebub}} Tatsumi Oga]] (to [[spoiler: ''Hiei'']]):''' "Seems like my pal [[BabiesMakeEverythingBetter Beel]] is really fond of you." |
| 242 | *** Surprisingly, the Odd One Out on their partnership would be in ''Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann'': Hiyama's character (Viral) wound up as TheRival to Konishi's (Kamina) in the first few episodes, then joined the good guys long after Kamina had [[KilledOffForReal already left]]. Although considering that Konishi also voiced another character in Makken Jokin[[labelnote:Note]]Under the pseudonym "[[MeaningfulName Reo Kaminaga]]"[[/labelnote]], it can also be considered partly played straight. |
| 243 | ** To Creator/KeijiFujiwara (TheLeader vs. [[TheLancer Right-Hand Man]]) |
| 244 | *** Their most notable partnership can be dated back to ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamThe08thMSTeam'', ''Anime/BtX'', and ''Manga/InitialD''. |
| 245 | ** To Creator/ShoHayami (TheHero vs. [[{{Villains}} The Villain]]) |
| 246 | *** Unlike Midorikawa, whose rival roles would end up giving Hiyama's heroes the respect they need, Hayami's roles, while not necessarily be TheBigBad, would be downright evil villains with no redeeming qualities when confronting with Hiyama's heroes. Or shall we put it more simply, just as Hiyama would be TheNineties resident hero, Hayami is just playing his usual resident villain. |
| 247 | *** Notable projects include: ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamThe08thMSTeam'', ''Anime/BtX'', and ''Anime/SaintSeiyaOmega''. [[note]]Their relationship within both ''B't X'' and ''Saint Seiya Omega'' also counts as a bonus {{Expy}} situation.[[/note]] |
| 248 | ** To Creator/TakehitoKoyasu (TheHero vs. EliteMook) |
| 249 | *** Compared to Midorikawa, and Hayami, Koyasu's roles were the guys that Hiyama's heroes would defeat-and-forget rather quickly. It'll all happen in less than 3 episodes, not even the audience would notice. |
| 250 | *** Projects that we had to do triple takes include: ''Anime/TheBraveExpressMightGaine'', and ''Anime/BtX''. |
| 251 | ** To Creator/ToshiyukiMorikawa ([[HeterosexualLifePartners Friends]]) |
| 252 | *** Notable pairings can be found in ''Manga/MarmaladeBoy'', ''Literature/TheStoryOfSaiunkoku'', ''[[http://myanimelist.net/manga/33001/Ai_Death_Gun Ai Death GUN]]'', and ''Manga/ShirokumaCafe''. |
| 253 | ** To Creator/YukariTamura ({{Moe}} vs. {{Hunk}} ~The Dream Team for Every [[{{Otaku}} Man]]~) |
| 254 | *** Notable works together: ''Anime/FairyMusketeers'', ''Anime/KaitouTenshiTwinAngel'', ''[[Anime/GaoGaiGar King of Braves GaoGaiGar FINAL]]'' (OVA), ''VideoGame/SoulSeries''. |
| 255 | * VocalEvolution: Hiyama's vocal performances have become higher in pitch as the years go by, and an easy way to tell is by listening to his ''Brave Series'' roles. Maito Senpuuji and Guy Shishioh have ''very'' different vocal tones, but in Super Robot Wars, the two of them sound ''way'' more similar to each other than in the decade of their onscreen debuts. Justified with physical age and technical hardware improvements, as men age, the vocal tenderness and flexibility from their youth would slowly fade away, leaving their distinct vocal tones more emphasized; in Hiyama's case, his metallic pitch and texture became dominant and is picked up easily and clearly from advanced recording mics. |
