'''[[Manga/FullmetalAlchemist This article has been passed down the Utsumi line for generations!]]'''

Kenji Utsumi (born August 26, 1937) was amongst one of the oldest veteran seiyu next to Creator/ChikaoOhtsuka, and active in doing voice roles until his death on June 13, 2013. His forte was usually about big muscular guys, and these guys tend to be badass most of the time or evil in some way. To some, he was also quite the MemeticBadass thanks to his role as [[Anime/FistOfTheNorthStar Raoh]], especially since he was the most well known actor for the character.
