| 4 | Describe Takahiro Sakurai (born June 13, 1974) here, [[Anime/DigimonAdventure Troper-han]]! |
| 5 | |
| 6 | [[Anime/CodeGeass YES]], [[Manga/BlackButler MY LORD.]] [[Manga/JojosBizarreAdventureDiamondIsUnbreakable HEAVEN'S DOOR!!]][[note]]All right, I got all the info I needed to describe him.[[/note]] |
| 7 | |
| 8 | Think of him as a slightly older version of Creator/MamoruMiyano: a handsome guy who voices handsome guys 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. |
| 9 | |
| 10 | In terms of casting, 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 the actress/singer and the latter's wife 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 ''Literature/KyoKaraMaoh'', Suzaku Kururugi from ''Anime/CodeGeass'', Eliwood in ''VideoGame/FireEmblemHeroes'', and Haseo from ''Franchise/DotHack'' series), Creator/SteveStaley ([=McGillis=] Fareed in ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamIronBloodedOrphans'' and Griffith in ''Anime/Berserk2016''), Creator/KeithSilverstein (Zwei in ''[[VisualNovel/PhantomOfInferno Phantom the Animation]]'', Shirosaki in ''Anime/RozenMaiden'', and Takashi Hayashida in ''Manga/MarchComesInLikeALion'') and Creator/AndrewFrancis (Haseo from the ''Franchise/DotHack'' series and the Medicine Man from ''Anime/AyakashiSamuraiHorrorTales''). |
| 11 | |
| 12 | According to [[https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/people.php?most_prolific=cast Anime News Network]], he is the 4th most prolific voice actor (after Creator/TakehitoKoyasu, Creator/ToshiyukiMorikawa, Creator/ShinichiroMiki). As of October 2023, he is one of the only five to have over 600 anime credits to his name. |
| 13 | |
| 14 | Junichi Sato seems to really enjoy Sakurai's work--he appears in several of the shows Sato has directed, normally as the (take a guess) TroubledButCute {{Bishonen}}. |
| 15 | |
| 16 | Sakurai also does a lot of roles with vampires; in fact he may even be a vampire fan himself... |
| 17 | |
| 18 | On September 23, 2022, the ''Weekly Bunshun'' tabloid revealed that Sakurai had been married for a while which some fans already suspected four years ago [[https://twitter.com/sonosakiha/status/960144846370488320 in a radio show]]. Because of this, Sakurai confirms in [[https://intention-k.com/archives/9413 a statement]] from his agency that he's indeed married. However, on October 26, 2022, the same tabloid revealed that he had an extramarital affair with a writer on his radio show for 10 years, following another published article of a second mistress from 15 years affair who came forward and demanded 10 million yen from him after also being unaware about both his marriage and the other affair. Because of this, [[TheOtherDarrin his upcoming roles were replaced]]. On March 31, 2023, [[https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2023-03-31/voice-actor-takahiro-sakurai-ends-contract-with-talent-agency/.196656 he ends his contract with his agency]]. |
| 19 | |
| 20 | He's most probably not related to Creator/HarumiSakurai, Creator/MasahiroSakurai or Creator/TomoSakurai. |

| 227 | |
| 228 | !!Tropes associated with Takahiro Sakurai [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII (Not interested...)]] |
| 229 | * AscendedFanboy: He was a ''huge'' fan of Final Fantasy [=VII=] and Cloud Strife before being cast as the latter in Kingdom Hearts. |
| 230 | -->'''Sakurai:''' “Eh? It’s that Cloud?” was my first reaction. I never even thought that I would possibly voice act for Cloud, and the shock was like being hit by something huge.(laughs) My hands holding the script were even shaking during the recording. And even when I played Kingdom Hearts, I kept getting weirdly excited at the thought of “Ohhh… it’s Cloud… that’s me…”[[https://thelifestream.net/lifestream-projects/translations/3960/translated-interview-with-takahiro-sakurai-from-the-ffvii-10th-anniversary-ultimania/]] |
| 231 | * CastingGag: By the logic of the Fate multiverse, apparently he and Creator/AyakoKawasumi are the alternate reality versions of the same person; The main universe has male Merlin and Female King Arthur, Sakurai voicing the former and Kawasumi voicing the latter. The alternate "Prototype" universe, Arthur is a man and Merlin is a woman, so the roles are swapped. Grand Order staff have joked that if Fou from the Prototype universe were to show up, he'd be voiced by Sakurai (Despite being a cute animal) |
| 232 | * SoftSpokenSadist: Many of his villain roles aren't particularly hammy, but make up for it by being very cold. [[Manga/{{Berserk}} Griffith]], [[Anime/PsychoPass Shogo]], and [[VideoGame/PhantasyStarOnline2 Luther]], in particular are bone-chilling [[TheSociopath sociopaths]] with a smooth voice. |
| 233 | * StarMakingRole: He start racking up roles after he's picked to voice [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII Cloud]] [[Franchise/KingdomHearts Strife]]. [[Anime/CodeGeass Suzaku Kururugi]] is usually considered a second one for rise to fame. |
