A bad papa.

Well, not literally, but if there's one thing Fumihiko Tachiki (born April 29, 1961 in Nagasaki Prefecture, Japan) is known for, it's him being the seiyuu of many guys who give out the vibe that father figures are scary, evil, etc. However, while doing that, he also has an extremely manly, coarse and badass voice, making him quite the fan favorite. Sometimes, he just does the second part (not being a father, but still a badass), or he can subvert it at one point when he's picked as the eternal PluckyComicRelief character Boss in ''Anime/{{Mazinkaiser}}'', and a young character at that! He's also known for providing narration and announcements for a number of projects, such as ''Manga/{{Gintama}}'', ''Series/KamenRiderDouble'', ''VideoGame/SonicColors'', and ''VideoGame/Persona4Arena''.

He first made himself known through the smash hit ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'' as Gendo Ikari, but it wasn't quite until either ''VideoGame/TalesOfSymphonia'' or ''Manga/{{Bleach}}'' that his popularity started to skyrocket.
