Nobutoshi Canna (born June 10, 1968), previously known as Nobutoshi Hayashi, changed his name right at the beginning of the year 2000. Nobutoshi Canna is also one of the more prominent anime seiyuus in the '90s, and still continue to do things in this day.
As for his roles, he's mostly set on badasses, but usually they're not on the spectrum of old men. He can also do intellectual people, Hot-Blooded people, or goody two shoes, or even a kid (in Super Robot Wars A Portable, he actually voiced Uchuta from Zambot 3!). He also has a tendency to voice people who just like to fight and can pull off Bruce Lee Clone roles just fine.
