WAIT? PRESENT MIC HAS THE SAME VA AS FUCKING SOLF J KIMBLEE? I recognize that Taiyo song.. it was on a KImblee video.. fuck me up. That's insane.

Yep! I was also taken aback by the range of characters he voices, and turns out he's a very popular VA! He voices tons of anime characters, dubs over lots of movies (for Japanese dubs), and just a bunch of other characters in general (๑>ᴗ<๑)

Here's some examples for anime characters:

[Leading Roles:]

Yoshimori Sumimura in Kekkaishi

Hibiki Tokai in Vandread

Yuji Kagura in Tona-Gura!

Takumi Nishijō in Chaos;Head

Meow in Space Dandy

Favaro in Rage of Bahamut: Genesis

[Supporting Roles:]

Hajime Iwaizumi in Haikyuu!!

Houka Inumuta in Kill la Kill

Allelujah Haptism in Mobile Suit Gundam 00,

Bernard Firestar in Divergence Eve

Chrome in Cluster Edge

Natsuki Minami in Minami-ke

Yuto Kido in Inazuma Eleven

Rin Hirakoba in The Prince of Tennis

Kenichi Saruyama in To Love Ru

And of course Hizashi Yamada in My Hero Academia

Here are characters he's voiced for English shows to be made in Japanese dub:

X-Men: Days of Future Past - Peter Maximoff / Quicksilver

Bullet Train - The Son

The 4400 - Danny Farrell

Charlotte's Web - Wilbur

Dorothy and the Wizard of Oz - Tin Man

Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse - Peter Porker / Spider-Ham

Trolls World Tour - Prince D

Uncle Grandpa - Pizza Steve

WALL-E - MO

He certainly has range ‎(´-ᴗ-⸝⸝ก) It's amazing how I didn't find this out earlier since he voices so many Japanese Dubs, but at least I know now ʕ ◦`꒳´◦ʔ

I hope you have a lovely day! \(❁´∀`❁)ﾉ𖤐´-

Yoshiko × Koguma × Natsuki Taiyo

[natsukisayuriuzumakiuchiha]

(N/A) I'm not very good at coloring my drawings. I'm sorry, but I wanted you to see the new generation of Akatsuki.

It is not found when I will publish the other drawings, but I hope it will be soon; so as not to leave it unfinished.

The Akatsuki were one of the villains that more than anything caught my attention. I wait to see if someone else thinks the same as me. Because flat out a lot has happened that the Naruto Shippuden series is over and then in Boruto there is little or nothing that they mention. I also await comments.

A new trainee is ready to debut at Sea D Linnng’s Korakuen Hall Show on 12/23~! Her name is Honori Hideshima and she is 19 years old.

I like the fact that they posted this exhibition/test on youtube, it shows Honori’s talent and how hard she worked for 1.5 years to graduate.

Seisan Matchi - Yoshiko vs Act Yasakawa

In 2015, Joshi Wrestling was experiencing something of a renaissance thanks to a wealth of both experienced and up and coming wrestlers under various promotions across Japan. Stardom is consistently recognised as one of the premier Joshi Puroresu companies in Japan and has had established the careers of wrestlers such as Io Shirai, Kairi Hojo (Kairi Sane in WWE) and Mayu Iwatani to name but a few. Since its inception in 2010. They were always known for high quality matches that would outshine the US companies at the time who were still establishing their women’s wrestling as they moved away from the era of the Diva.

Throughout the 80’s and 90’s, Joshi Puroresu was always well respected, not just in Japan but across the world as talents would travel into the US and perform for WWF and WCW, most notably Bull Nakano who won the then WWF women’s title in 1994. And in reverse, there was a wealth of US talent that would travel to Japan to ply their trade with their Japanese peers, learning the style that was much more than the glamour of the American counterparts. Women such as Madusa (Alundra Blayze), Monster Ripper and Amazing Kong (later Awesome Kong) would establish themselves within the Joshi system despite being Gaijin (foreigners).

World Wonder Ring Stardom – known more commonly as Stardom – was founded in 2010 by former All Japan Women producer Rossy Ogawa, retired wrestler Fuka Kakimoto (known as Fuka) and professional wrestler Nanae Takahashi (known as Nanae). Although Stardom prides itself in hard hitting matches and work rate, it has previous come under fire for its unfair approach to pushing its female stars, placing a huge emphasis on the attractiveness of its stars to promote the company. This would be considered common within the Joshi system as the majority of the people that are attending the shows are male. Usually around 70% of the fanbase at shows are male, but in counter to that New Japan shows, which have Male only talent, the fan base is around 60% female.

This emphasis on attractiveness and professional jealousy is what is believed to be the main reason for what happened on February 22nd, 2015 at Tokyo’s Korakuen Hall at a Stardom event which was contested for the World of Stardom Championship.

Yoshiko Hirano was born July 26th, 1993. At the time of the incident, she was 21 years old. She was trained by Stardom founders Nanae and Fuka, as well as her tag team partner Natsuki Taiyo and Yuu Yamagata. She was a part of Stardom’s first trainees alongside Mayu Iwatani and Yoko Bito. She was given a heel persona which followed the style of the Yankii culture, which is considered to be brash, non-conforming and disrespectful.

Yusa Yasakawa was born November 13th, 1986. She made her Pro Wrestling debut in 2012 for Stardom, for whom she wrestled exclusively during her career. She was trained by Stardom founder Fuka. She has won the World of Stardom championship twice and was forced to vacate the title on both occasions due to injuries and illness. In 2014, after several defences of her belt, she relinquishes due to complications with her thyroid which was linked to Graves Disease. She went away for cataract surgery and returned to wrestle again 12 months later.

Yoshiko was considered to be protégé of Nanae, a true monster wrestler who was moulded in the old-fashioned Joshi style that was more in place with that of the cotemporaries of All Japan women. At the time of the match, she was the World of Stardom champion. Act Yasakawa was more of a style for the newer generation of Joshi puroresu. She was smaller in stature that Yoshiko and also, from the view of those higher up in the company, considered to be more attractive and marketable than her counterpart. Both women were part of the same stable in Stardom at one point named Kawasaki Katsushika Saikyou Densetsu Plus One.

As the match begins, both women stare across the ring from each other before they eventually begin trading blows with elbows and punches connecting wildly. Yoshiko, as the bigger of the two, managed to drag Yasakawa to the ground after throwing lots of punches at her face in the corner. The referee intervenes at this point and forces a break by Yoshiko as he can see that Yasakawa is bleeding heavily from her nose and mouth. Yasakawa crawls to the corner where she is checked on by the referee and Kyoko Kimura who was at ringside. The referee goes across to Yoshiko and you can sim him making a closed fist gesture, warning her that she must not punch with a closed fist which is traditional in wrestling to protect your opponent. As Yasakawa gets treatment from her corner, the camera zooms in to Yoshiko’s welted hands. The match was barely 1 minute in from the start bell and her hands showed signs of the closed fist punches that she’s was warned of by the referee.

The match restarts and Yasakawa is still getting to her feet when Yoshiko makes her way to the centre of the ring. Yoshiko makes a grab for Yasakawa’s hair which forces her into the ropes. She manages to fight back hitting her with some punches of her own, but Yoshiko is much larger and stronger than the smaller Yasakawa and hits her with a few more punches to the head and body before taking her to the ground again. Yoshiko then continues the use palm strikes to the side of Yasakawa’s head and face before standing up and moving away for a brief moment. The clearly frustrated Act stands up, still blood running from her nose and staggered from the assault.

Act approaches Yoshiko, looking as if she tries to engage with her to cooperate but Yoshiko stands stoic, hands on hips to signify her disrespect towards her opponent. Act throws a kick towards Yoshiko’s left side, but she grabs her leg and swings another palm strike towards Yasakawa’s face which narrowly misses, and they grapple into the centre of the ring, where Yoshiko again has gained the top control. Act’s head is in between Yoshiko’s legs and unable to attack, so Yoshiko powers Act over onto her back and struggles to manoeuvre into a position to attack again before Yasakawa gets her foot onto the ropes to force a break. As the referee asks for the break, Yoshiko places herself into a push-up pose, using Yasakawa’s face and abdomen as her balance points. She is pushing down on Act’s face the majority of this and eventually gets up, which then allows her to hit a heavy kick onto Yasakawa’s back as she attempts to stand up.

In a momentary change of pace, Yoshiko whips Yasakawa off the ropes and hits a heavy shoulder block/push which sends Yasakawa flying backwards to the floor. This happens a second time but while Yasakawa is grounded, Yoshiko stomps to the back of Act’s head 3 times, 2 which connected, one which was avoided by Act in a last-ditch effort.

Yoshiko then picks up Yasakawa, driving her face into the turnbuckle pad. Act turns around but is met quickly by Yoshiko who grabs her hair and throws her into the opposite corner, following up the more strikes to the head and then applying a guillotine choke. Yoshiko tries to drag the flailing Act into the centre of the ring but Yasakawa grabs the rope and then wraps her foot around the bottom rope, forcing the referee to start a 5 count for a break.

As Yoshiko walks back to the centre of the ring, the referee seems to motion towards Act to see if she is able to continue. Yasakawa nods and tried to regain some composure before returning to the centre of the ring herself. She circles Yoshiko before swinging out at her, which Yoshiko anticipates and throws a few strikes before again getting Act onto the ground by her hair. While on the ground, Yoshiko mounts her back and begins closed fist punching to Act’s face and head again. Act spins onto her front and with Yoshiko sitting atop of her, the referee calls for another break. While getting up, Yoshiko stands her full body weight onto Yasakawa’s stomach. As she moves away, Yasakawa rolls out of the ring where she is immediately met by Kris Wolf and other ringside wrestlers.

Yasakawa’s face is heavily swollen and visible, evident from the closed fist punches and palm strikes by Yoshiko. The referee begins a count but is called to check on Act and see that she is unfit to continue the match. The Referee re-enters the ring but at this point has not drawn a conclusion to the match. Yasakawa tried to climb back into the ring to maintain her dignity but is stopped by the other ringside players and as Yasakawa screams towards Yoshiko, a towel is thrown in to signify that the fight is over. The referee refers to the bell keeper and the bell rings around the arena.

With Yasakawa still screaming at ringside angrily, Kyoko Kimura lauched herself at Yoshiko before being dragged away from her by other present players. Yasakawa was taken away to hospital where they diagnosed fractured cheek nasal and orbital bones which required surgery, with doctors being very concerned with the damage to her eyes due to her surgery the previous year.

3 days later, a press conference was held where the World of Stardom championship was vacated, and Yoshiko was suspended indefinitely. The founders took a 30% pay cut for several months and Nanae ended up leaving the company as tensions between the foundrs over the incident continued.

Although Yoshiko apologised for the incident, many questioned her motives as 3 months later she decided to retire. During the customary 10 bell salute of a retiring player, she turned her back and walked out of the ceremony.

Though the reason for the fight is still contested and speculated, the fact this this match was given the name Seisan Matchi (Ghastly Match) shows how difficult it is to watch.

Act Yasakawa retired from In-ring competition on December 23rd, 2015 as a result of her injuries but continues to work with Stardom, most recently as a manager for the Oedo Tai stable.

Yoshiko had a 5-year exodus from Stardom, working with Nanae’s company Seadlinnng since its inception in 2016. She also tried her hand at MMA with Korean company Road FC. In March 3rd, 2021 both she and Nanae returned to Stardom competing at their 10th year anniversary show, All Star Dream Cinderella. Nanae fought against Momo Watanabe coming out with a victory and Yoshiko took on Mayu Iwatani in a losing effort.

I have put a link below so you can watch the match at your discretion.

Pro-Wrestling: Familiarity vs Exploration

Ya know, I really love pro wrestling. Whether NJPW, ROH, TNA, Stardom, CZW, Capitol Wrestling, ECW, WCW and of course WWE as well as recently, AEW. I just want really good wrestling regardless of the source. If I can see something amazing or be enraptured by the match I always thought, “Did it matter from where?”. To some that seems to be the case.

 We love consistency, we love familiarity and we love our favorites. I am a huge Seth Rollins fan and to go back to my teenage years, I have a huge love for Jeff Hardy. I know if I watch these guys and some of my other favorites like Ember Moon, The Usos, Cesaro and Naomi, I am in for good matches. I have that faith in them because I have been exposed to their work. That’s fine.

You see at the time of being a teenager I knew only of WWE since by then WCW was gone and the internet was no where near as amazing as it is now so at the time I was really only exposed to one company. That is not the case now. A few years ago by some chance I was introduced to stardom where I saw Io Shirai, Alpha Female and Natsuki Taiyo doing things that women at the time didn’t do in wrestling. I immediately sought more. I watched more and more of Stardom and saw these women doing things akin to Lita if not more.

It did not stop there! A few months later a close friend told me of New Japan Wrestling and its upcoming PPV, Wrestle Kingdom! Every match I watched was one that left me wanting more. It did not matter the style of match, I truly enjoyed them all and I had no idea who any of these people were except for Luke Gallows due to him being fake Kane and Festus in WWE. But, that did not matter. I was seeing amazing wrestling and that was it. I was exposed to a new company and quickly saw people who I thought as faves like Kota Ibushi, Shinsuke Nakumara, Takahashi, Okada, Kenny Omega, Naito, Ishii, Makabe...the list goes on.

Fast forward to recently and I am watching so many different sources of wrestling and seeing so many talents. Lucha Underground is by far one of the craziest wrestling shows I have ever watched but also one of the most entertaining. This is a good time to be a pro wrestling fan for the reason of so many companies and talents being around. It seems like a sin to only latch on to one company, one style or one era.

Not every wrestler has to be a high flyer but not every wrestler has to look like they were crafted from marble. Not every female wrestler has to look like a model but not everyone of them has to be the next coming of Charlotte who I think is the best female wrestler in the world right now (seriously that woman can get a good match out of anyone!). But at the same time I do not mind an argument being posited for another female wrestler in WWE or outside of it. I welcome it because then I can be enlightened to other talents.

That is what I think it should be. What we have is a library in front of us and there are so many titles to peruse. So many heroes and villains to root for. So many genres. Are we limiting ourselves to one of these?
