Toshio Furukawa is a voice actor who was born on July 16, 1946, in Tochigi, Japan. His roles vary from the Unlucky Everydude Ataru Moroboshi (Urusei Yatsura), to The Stoic Shin [Fist of the North Star], to The Lancer Kai Shiden [Mobile Suit Gundam], and even The Rival / Big Bad Piccolo Jr. [Dragon Ball Z]. Furthermore, he can play Bishounen and Hot-Blooded boys (see: Portgas D. Ace) as well. He's also notable for being One of Us: his collection of Piccolo and Ace figures rivals that of anyone who doesn't happen to portray those characters as a living.
Married to fellow voice actress Shino Kakinuma.
Notable in:
- Arsène Lupin III in Lupin III: The Fuma Conspiracy (the only time the character wasn't voiced by the late Yasuo Yamada prior to Yamada's death in 1995; apparently, Furukawa got a lot of hate mail over it)
