Toshiyuki Morikawa (January 26, 1967 - ) is one of the seiyuus who has been around since the old days, 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 seiyuu around). He is also the current voice of [[FinalFantasyVII Sephiroth]] and attended the same voice acting class with KotonoMitsuishi. His voice range is versatile, ranging from [[TheStoic calm and cool characters]] to HotBlooded young men to [[CompleteMonster psychopathically cold villains]]. From {{badass}} to {{bishonen}}, he does them all just fine. Regardless of morality, if the character is a WhiteHairedPrettyBoy, there's a good chance he's voicing them.

Toshiyuki Morikawa, born in 1967, is one of the seiyuus who has been around since the old days, 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 seiyuu around). He is also the current voice of [[FinalFantasyVII Sephiroth]] and attended the same voice acting class with KotonoMitsuishi. His voice range is versatile, ranging from [[TheStoic calm and cool characters]] to HotBlooded young men to [[CompleteMonster psychopathically cold villains]]. From {{badass}} to {{bishonen}}, he does them all just fine. Regardless of morality, if the character is a WhiteHairedPrettyBoy, there's a good chance he's voicing them.
