->DESCRIBE NOBUHIKO OKAMOTO HERE, [[Manga/MyHeroAcademia OR MOVE IT EXTRAS!]]

Nobuhiko Okamoto (born October 24, 1986) is a seiyuu from Tokyo best known for his StarMakingRole as Accelerator from ''Literature/ACertainMagicalIndex'', in which he not only won the Best New Actor Award in the Third Seiyuu Awards, he also went on to win the award for Best Supporting Actor in the Fifth Seiyuu Awards.

He's worked with Creator/YuuKobayashi and Creator/MariyaIse at least twice. Ditto with Creator/AyumiFujimura, Creator/HiroShimono,Creator/YokoHikasa, and Creator/YukiKaji. What's front-and-center, however, is that he seems to have developed a (friendly) rivalry with Creator/AtsushiAbe as they've prominently faced-off in at [[Literature/ACertainMagicalIndex least]] [[Manga/{{Bakuman}} three]] [[Manga/MaidSama series]] to date, and now Creator/DaikiYamashita in [[Manga/MyHeroAcademia their biggest collaboration yet]], which also leads to some WhatIf-type scenarios with [[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure other series they]] [[Manga/DemonSlayerKimetsuNoYaiba appeared together in]]. His typecast is usually HotBlooded characters, whether good or bad (expect characters voiced by him to give a battle scream at least once), but he can also play TheStoic or TheCasanova type roles, as well as TheCutie, depending on the type of series he is in. Also, the late Creator/KeijiFujiwara seemed to be a father figure in some roles.

!!Tropes associated with Nobuhiko Okamoto
* AntiHero: Some of his more noticeable roles tend to be this, such as Accelerator, Rei Ogami, Karma Akabane, and Katsuki Bakugo.
* LargeHam: Again Accelerator, Bakugo and also Nishinoya.
* NoIndoorVoice: His voice acting for hammy characters such as Bakugo and Nishinoya requires '''lots''' of yelling. [[https://www.crunchyroll.com/anime-news/2020/06/24-1/voice-actor-nobuhiko-okamoto-goes-back-to-work-on-june-24-after-throat-surgery This damaged his vocal cords to the point that he needed surgery, but fortunately, he recovered quickly and it didn't affect his career much]].
* PigeonholedVoiceActor: A majority of his characters tend to be handsome, heroic characters. Interestingly enough, some of his well-known roles happen to be ''anti-heroes'' instead. He's also voiced several characters with a HairTriggerTemper.
