Tetsuya Kakihara

A popular newcomer to the Japanese voice-acting biz. Tetsuya Kakihara is one of the few well known seiyuu (the others being the Athens-born Haruna Ikezawa and US born Satoshi Hino) who wasn't born in Japan. His birthplace was Dusseldorf, and living there for several years allowed him to reach fluency in German. He didn't stop there, going on to learn English, Spanish and Latin to boot. Later he moved out (or rather ran away, according to Japanese Wikipedia) to Japan where he began active work as a seiyuu, being the only Japanese guy to voice the German-speaking Intelligent Devices Graf Eisen and Levantine. However, it took his starring role in Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann to cement his place in the industry. Go Beyond The Impossible and kick reason to the curb, indeed.

A notable Yoko Oh No incident involved him and Mamiko Noto; he knew the backdraft but stuck it in the nose of the fans.

Has quite a few roles with Marina Inoue.
