3Hidenari Ugaki (born July 25, 1963) is a Japanese voice actor affiliated with 81 Produce.
4
5In the same field as the late Creator/KazunariTanaka, Ugaki is a veteran [[BitCharacter Bit Player]] in the voice acting industry; spreading wide from Japanese animation, to western animation dubs, to foreign film dubbing, Ugaki roams from scene to scene [[SpearCarrier firmly clasping his spear]] and supporting a vast variety of more colorful high-profile cast members. He has, however, also landed some larger roles, perhaps most notably the mercurial, larger-than-life, one-eyed gangster [[Characters/LikeADragonGoroMajima Goro Majima]] in the ''VideoGame/LikeADragon'' series of video games.
6
7While Tanaka's forte were mainly [[TheEveryman the ordinary dudes]], Ugaki lands more of the [[TheBigGuy big guys]], antagonizers, villains, and {{mook}}s.
8
9Among his ocean of projects, his breakthrough was for his performance in ''Manga/YuYuHakusho''. And has since taken on LongRunners to this date within ''Literature/{{Anpanman}}'', ''Manga/CaseClosed'', and ''Manga/NintamaRantarou''.

11However, Ugaki does have [[OneHitWonder one-hit wonders]], check the list below to see who they are.
12
13Outside of animation projects, Ugaki is commonly heard narrating non-animation television commercials.

15When you look at it from a perspective, we may have been living in a world that applies the [[VideoGame/Yakuza1 "Hidenari Ugaki Everywhere"]] system...
