OK, we're now about to describe Kazuki Yao here... '''[[Anime/{{Dancougar}} YATTE]] [[CatchPhrase YARUZE!!!]]'''

Kazuki Yao (born June 17, 1959) is a Japanese voice actor who loves to voice {{Jerkass}} roles in general. Finally got his breakout or so as the HotBlooded Shinobu Fujiwara of ''Anime/{{Dancougar}}'', later the IdiotHero Judau Ashta in ''[[Anime/MobileSuitGundamZZ Gundam ZZ]]'', then voiced villains that are quite a bit incompetent. He's also a decent singer.

He was once married to fellow voice actress Creator/MinaTominaga, but they have since divorced. His wife since 2011, Natsuki Hayashi, is an actress and dancer.
