97!!Tropes Associated with Chiba:
98* BigBrotherMentor: To practically every Japanese voice actor who comes after him that he meets. But he is [[TrueCompanions particularly attached]] to three [[UsefulNotes/JapaneseHonorifics kouhais]], namely: [[Manga/YuYuHakusho The then]] Pop Idol Voice Actor [[Creator/NozomuSasaki Yusuke]], the Technically-Still-NewMeat [[Creator/NobuyukiHiyama Hiei]], and the [[StarMakingRole Overnight Fame]] [[NewMeat Super New Meat]] [[Creator/MegumiOgata Kurama]].
99* CoolOldGuy: Who he is now, and is the [[LargeHam hammiest]] all voice actors from his generation. Not even Creator/AkiraKamiya would dare to compete him on that.
100* CoolTeacher: Amongst the large pool of students he taught, Chiba confirmed the now legendary, Music/MegumiHayashibara was his first direct disciple.
101* TheKnightsWhoSaySquee: He was named one of the Top 10 Most Respected Voice Actors in the business, voted by Japanese Voice Actors of all generations!
102** He was placed 20th at 2017's annual ''Voice Actor Grand Election.''
103* LargeHam: His all-time motto? ...''"Live Life to the FULLEST!"''
104** Longtime castmate, Creator/AkiraKamiya, would always testify how Chiba has a "favorite recording spot" usually located at the most inner side of the recording room where he can [[WallPinOfLove pin himself against the wall]] to rest after nearly fainting from each of his [[HotBlooded compassionate]] performances".
