Er, ahem, step back and let me handle this.

Great Seiyuu Takagi: ((Roll OP))
Episode One: In Which A Seiyuu Is Described
Alright, basically I'm this seiyuu from the Chiba Prefecture, but I do some stage acting on the side. Most well-known roles? Gotta be Valgaav from Slayers, Genta Kojima and Detective Me in Case Closed and the titular character in, well, of course...
Did I mention that I also did a lot of work in most of Capcom's old video games? They couldn't get enough of me, I guess.
