Happy Birthday, Okiayu Ryoutarou

The first anime I wached was Gundam Wing. My favourite character was Treize Kushrenada, who is voiced by Okiayu. It's not only Treize's voice that makes him so wonderful, but it's a huge factor. The second anime I watched was Fullmetal Alchemist. Okiayu voices Scar, whom I still can't think about without my stomach clenching up. Oh my god, Scar. The third anime I watched was Prince of Tennis, and Okiayu, of course, voices our toasty buchou pal, Tezuka.

I was beginning to think that Okiayu was in every anime ever. That's really not so far off the mark, actually. His lovely, lovely voice makes the anime experience just that much better and even in the series where he doesn't have a regular role, I live in hope that he'll make a guest appearance.

To celebrate, give me a pairing that includes a character from the list below, a prompt, and I'll write you a one-line fic. And tell me who your favourite Okiayu character is. (Can you guess mine?)

Characters I'm familiar enough with to write about:

Treize Kushrenada (Gundam Wing)
Scar (Fullmetal Alchemist)
Tezuka Kunimitsu (Prince of Tennis)
Mitsui Hisashi ♥♥♥ (Slam Dunk - best sports series EVER)
Kuchiki Byakuya (Bleach -- bearing in mind that I'm not up-to-date with either the manga or the anime atm, but I have seen through the Soul Society arc)
Soma Shigure (Fruits Basket -- I might be a little shaky here)


I've also heard him as:

Shinomiya Koji (Gakuen Heaven)
Reever Wenhamm (D.Gray-man -- actually, I don't think I have seen him yet, but I'm waiting)
Rokushou Aoi (Naruto -- god, that was a terrible outfit Aoi had)
Honda Hiroto (Yu-Gi-Oh! -- the first series)
Akuramu - (Harukanaru Toki no Naka de ~Hachiyou Shou~ aka "The show with the really long name that we watched just because of Okiayu")

Bonus mp3: Onosaka Masaya singing (and I use the term loosely) Ore wa Okiayu Ryoutarou. I believe that's the man himself yelling at Onosaka at the end.

Oh god. This is like a dream. :D

Treize/Zechs. Pleeeeeease.

And Treize is my boyfriend favorite. Is Mitsui yours??????????

I heart Okiayu-san, though the first seiyuu to make a big impression on me was actually Koyasu Takehito, and my all-times favorites are mostly women who do boy voices. Also, you haven't lived 'til you've heard Okiayu as Jinnai in El-Hazard. (First series, though I'm no longer sure how to tell which one that is.)

Inui/Tezuka for the win, glasses.

Ideally, I'd love Tezuka/Ryoma. :D However, Tezuka-anyone you like is the other option. Whatever you want. I don't mind. Please. ♥ Um... prompt: red.

It's a toss-up between Treize and Tezuka. Possibly Tezuka, since I need to sit down and rewatch GW at some point.

Treize/Zechs ~ Revealing, white pants.

Oooohhh you're getting a lot of Tez, but I don't know any of the other Okiayu characters, so I'll just request a no-pairing one liner with the prompt "masturbation" ;) *hides*

Oh wow, he really has been in a ton of shows. This shows I don't know my seiyu at all. He's in some old school stuff and, damn, a variety of characters. Jinnai in El Hazard is the same as *Ran-chan* from Kizuna and OMFG **Yuu** in Marmalade Boy. (Well, actually, if one were to imagine Tezuka as the lead in a shoujo anime, it might not be too terribly different from the emoting-ness of Yuu in Marmalade Boy). I'd love to vote for Ran-chan aka Ranmaru (pairing: Ranmaru/Enjouji), but if you're not familiar with Kizuna, I'd go with Scar/Ed or Scar/Lust from FMA.

I realize that this entire post is an elaborate excuse for you to write Mitsui/Kogure...but I'm going to ask for Mitsui/Hikoichi instead, since you posted that cracked out mp3. :D

Ack, forgot a prompt! Um...karaoke!

Well, I'm asking for Mitsui/Kogure. :DDD Prompt: TEETH.

Oh please, Tezuka anyone. Tezuka everyone. And, as a prompt, uh... sweater. Yes. Tezuka, anyone, everyone, and a sweater.

Tezuka/Kaidoh, loyalty. And the only character I'm familiar with from that long list is Tezuka, but I love him a lot.

Scar/Lust, "Orpheus".




I love Okiayu. My favorite of his has been Scar, who still turns me inside out with love and grief and is also the hottest anime man ever, in great part due to voice. But funny wise cruel lovely Shigure pulls a close second favorite.

How about Byakuya x Tezuka? XDXD I think I'm kidding.

I don't even know who my favorite Okiayu character is. He's just...everywhere. I have a special soft spot for Shigure.
