Toshiyuki Morikawa. [[VideoGame/SoulSeries Do not forget this name!]]

Toshiyuki Morikawa (森川智之)[[note]]sometimes misread Tomoyuki[[/note]] (born January 26, 1967) is one of the voice actors who has been around since the old days (having attended the same voice acting class with Creator/KotonoMitsuishi) and currently still lends his voice to the job. He has quite a huge fanbase too (due in part to being one of the more attractive actors around), and is the current voice of Sephiroth from ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII''. His voice range is [[ManOfAThousandVoices versatile]], ranging from [[TheStoic calm and cool characters]], to HotBlooded young men, to even psychopathically cold villains. From badass to {{Bishonen}}, he does them all just fine. Regardless of morality, if the character has WhiteHairBlackHeart (such as the aforementioned Sephiroth), there's a good chance he's voicing them.

According to [[http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/people.php?most_prolific=cast Anime News Network]], he has the ''second most'' number of roles in anime after Creator/TakehitoKoyasu. As of 2023, he is one of the only five Japanese voice actors with over 600 credits.

Best buds with Creator/NobuyukiHiyama, went as far as spreading a "Hiyama abandoned me!" mass phone call to other colleagues while drunk once[[note]]when all Hiyama did was send this guy a ''20-minute'' taxi ride home by himself[[/note]], he is also good friends with fellow seiyuu Creator/FumihikoTachiki and has a lot of co-workings with Creator/NobutoshiCanna and Creator/NozomuSasaki.

Along with [[Creator/NobuyukiHiyama Hiyama]], the two of them were involved with the birth of Creator/ShowHayami's ''Franchise/SuperStylishDoctorsStory.''

Notable alongside seiyuu like Creator/YujiUeda, Creator/KosukeToriumi, and Creator/WataruTakagi in that he did a lot of roles in most of Creator/{{Capcom}}'s old video games.

He is also quite popular in the Japanese dubbing industry, being the dub voice of Obi-Wan Kenobi (Creator/EwanMcGregor) in ''Franchise/StarWars''[[note]]"[[Film/RevengeOfTheSith It's over,]] [[Creator/DaisukeNamikawa Namikawa!]] I have the high ground!"[[/note]], Ennis del Mar (Creator/HeathLedger) in ''Film/BrokebackMountain'', Neo (Creator/KeanuReeves) in ''Film/TheMatrix'', and Bilbo Baggins (Creator/MartinFreeman) in ''Film/TheHobbit'', as well as Creator/TomCruise and Creator/AdamSandler. Website/TheOtherWiki states that he has been the dub voice of many leading roles in Western-world movies when they are dubbed to Japan. He also has quite some role in the Western dubbing of ComicBook/SpiderMan. He is the dub voice of Spidey himself in [[WesternAnimation/SpiderManTheAnimatedSeries the 1994's animated series]], and in [[Film/SpiderMan3 the third movie]], he is Eddie Brock/Venom (Creator/TopherGrace). He voiced Everett Ross (Creator/MartinFreeman) in ''Film/CaptainAmericaCivilWar'' and ''Film/BlackPanther2018''. He also voiced Yon-Rogg (Creator/JudeLaw) in ''Film/CaptainMarvel2019''.
