History Creator / ToshioFurukawa

* [[TheOtherDarrin Arsène Lupin III]] in ''Franchise/LupinIII: Anime/TheFumaConspiracy'' (The only time the character wasn't voiced by Creator/YasuoYamada prior to Yamada's death in 1995; apparently, Furukawa got a ''lot'' of hate mail over it.)

* Gitsune in ''XXXHolic'' and ''TsubasaReservoirChronicle''

* Ashura in ''SoulEater'' (Sheesh, how the HECK does he pull off such a high-pitched screech as a '''sixty-two''' year old man when similarly-aged veterans like Creator/AkiraKamiya can no longer do [[FistOfTheNorthStar Kenshiro's]] similarly-pitched battle cries?)

* [[DigDug Taizo Hori]] in ''VideoGame/MrDriller'' and ''VideoGame/NamcoXCapcom''

* Piccolo Jr. in ''Manga/{{Dragonball}}'' and all related media

Toshio Furukawa is a seiyu who is born in 1946 in Tochigi, Japan. His roles are varied from the UnluckyEverydude Ataru Moroboshi [''Manga/UruseiYatsura''], TheStoic Shin [''Manga/FistOfTheNorthStar''], TheLancer Kai Shiden [''Anime/MobileSuitGundam''],and even TheRival / BigBad Piccolo Jr. [''Anime/DragonBallZ'']. Furthermore, he can play {{Bishounen}} and HotBlooded boys (see: Portgas D. Ace) as well. He's also notable for being OneOfUs: his collection of Piccolo and Ace figures rivals that of anyone who ''doesn't'' happen to portray those characters as a living.

* Ashura in ''SoulEater'' (Sheesh, how the HECK does he pull off such a high-pitched screech as a '''sixty-two''' year old man when similarly-aged veterans like Creator/AkiraKamiya can no longer do [[FistOfTheNorthStar Kenshiro's]] similarly pitched battle cries?)
** Probably because Kenshiro lasts for the entire series, while Shin is only for a few first, so Furukawa still has a lot of lung powers in reserve.

* [[BruceLeeClone Jann Lee]] in ''VideoGame/DeadOrAlive'' (though after ''Dimensions'', he's [[TheOtherDarrin darrin'd]] by Creator/NobutoshiCanna. Perhaps a sign that age is finally catching up to him like Creator/AkiraKamiya did)

* [[TheOtherDarrin Arsène Lupin [=III=]]] in ''Lupin [=III=]: [[TheFumaConspiracy]]'' (The only time the character wasn't voiced by Creator/YasuoYamada prior to Yamada's death in 1995; apparently, Furukawa got a ''lot'' of hate mail over it.)
