Badass, The Big Guy, with quite a cool baritone voice. These are just some of the words that could describe Kenta Miyake. He's also quite tall in Real Life, too, a full six feet.
As above, Kenta-san usually plays badasses. However he's even done some incredibly Camp Gay characters, like Bobby in Macross Frontier and Charlotte Cuuhlhourne from Bleach.

Tropes ULTRA!!!
- Baritone of Strength: His deep voice is frequently used for big, strong characters.
- The Big Guy: Most of his roles tend to be large guys.
- Huge Guy, Tiny Girl: Craft and Leongar qualify since both (formerly) loved Neige and Clawroline note before being forced into servitude of a vile villain. (Dr. Weil and Fecto Forgo/Elfilis)
- Large Ham: Avdol and All Might in particular, though Zangief can also qualify.
- Meaningful Name: His given name can roughly be translated to "strong and big", perfect for a voice actor typecasted into Big Guy roles.
- Pigeon Holed Voice Actor: Very often cast as The Big Guy or deep voiced villains.
- Production Posse: Seems to be a favorite pick for shows by both J.C. Staff and Studio BONES.
- Star-Making Role: While he's done work in voice over for a long time a lot of his characters were often minor villains or side characters. It wasn't until he voiced Muhammad Avdol wherein he started becoming more recognizable among anime fans and cast into more leading roles.
I am the red cyclone! My iron body is invincible! So beware!

Accept your fate and perish... BOY.
