One of the more recent seiyu, Daisuke Ono burst onto the scene thanks to his role as Itsuki Koizumi in
The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya,
like several other people. He has quite a bit of vocal range, going from
Hot Blooded to
The Quiet One on a whim. Most of the characters he voices tend to be
Bishōnen, as shown with his guest appearance in
Lucky Star.
(He's also one in real life to boot.)

As one of a number of seiyuu who have done multiple characters for
07th Expansion, it
might be wise to watch him closely.
In the the fourth Seiyu Awards, he won the title of best male
seiyuu for his role as Sebastian Michaelis in
Black Butler.
Daisuke is also part of the music industry. He has about six singles (
Hinemosu, Amaoto, Manatsu no Spica, Kinmokusei, Netsuretsu ANSWER, and
DELIGHT) and one full album, titled
Kazehana. He also hosts a radio show called
Dear Girl ~stories~ with
Hiroshi Kamiya, which is
very popular in Japan and has even spawned a manga and two DS games. As of late, Hiroshi and Daisuke
have been casted together in animes (most of the time as foils)
way too many times to count.
