You know you're getting older when your favourite seiyuus that used to voice the gung-ho and overly enthusiastic or aloof and anti social high school athletes are now voicing the disgruntled coaches of said high school athletes.

Case in point;

Kusao Takeshi as Azuma Ryuji in Free! and Midorikawa Hikaru as Akimitsu Bizen in Re:Main.

Used to voice eternal rivals, Sakuragi Hanamichi and Rukawa Kaede in Slam Dunk.

in riderr news

I'm rooting for ikki and Hikaru to be together so that the revice fandom will have a meltdown lol.

The description I read says they "develop a passionate relationship"... but are also "destined to have to kill each other". Make what you will of that, I guess?

Personally, I will be one of those people whose mind will explode if they go that route, because I'm honestly baffled that the BL vibes are so strong for this show.

Supposedly it's an adaptation of a manga written by Osamu Tezuka. You know, the same guy that wrote Astro Boy and Kimba the White Lion? The mentor of Shotaro Ishinomori, the creator of Kamen Rider itself? Yeah, he's not exactly known to be a BL manga author, so one wonders what in the heck is going on that the adaptation has these vibes.

Not to mention Kentaro Maeda is not the first tokuboy Tomoya Oku would've been paired with- he starred in Minato Shouji's Coin Laundry as the love interest of the character plated by Yu Inaba- aka Shijima Go, the bicon himself. (Iirc he was actually on it while Revice was on air)

Also... Shoji Kohei (Takamichi/KirameiSilver) and Totaro (Tsubasa/InuBrother) are in this too lol. So it ain't just a Rider actor fest it be a toku actor fest. We literally just need someone from Ultraman to complete the trifecta

So... yeah, this show is just a bit insane and I'm here for it

Takeda: Or- Organs?

Tanaka: I don't have the slightest hint of a sixth sense or anything, heh, so this is how I do things

Tanaka: It's much more powerful than the way the company recommends too

Takeda: Is that mark from that as well?

Tezuka: The one you took of that church

Yoshiki: Oh... Thank you very much.

Yoshiki: Now that you mention it, there are a lot of churches here. Isn't that unusual for such a rural town?

Tezuka: Ah-, well about that...

Tezuka: The area around here is where persecuted Christians fled during the Edo Period

Tezuka: That's why there are old churches here. They're still active today.

(sfx: cicada noises)

Yoshiki: Huh...

Yoshiki: Oh... so Mr. Kameyama's family is also one of them

Yoshiki: Huh? But why weren't they persecuted here?

Tezuka: I wonder? I've heard it was difficult for the feudal lords to interfere here, maybe that's why?

Tezuka: It's true that it was a place with religious activity, historically speaking

A place difficult for the feudal lords to interfere with...

Behind the Screen: Japanese voice actors who bring fictional librarians to life!

Top row, from left to right: Sanae Kobayashi, Kaori Nazuka, Yumi Ichihara, Miyuki Sawashiro, Chiwa Saitō, and Marina Inoue. Bottom row, from left to right: Tomoaki Maeno, Akira Ishida, Tatsuhisa Suzuki, Kanji Suzumori, Haruo Satō, and Takahiro Sakurai.

Part of understanding fictional librarians is understanding those behind the screen, specifically when it comes to those who voice animated characters. Part 1 of this series focused on Black voice actors, Part 2 on Asian and Latin American voice actors, and Part 3 on Indian voice actors.

Reprinted from Pop Culture Library Review where this post was published on Nov. 15, 2022.

In this fourth part of this series, I am profiling the over 12 Japanese voice actors, men and women, who have voiced librarian characters over the years, in various anime.

About the voice actors

There are 12 Japanese voice actors which I'm describing here who voice librarians. One of the first I saw was Sanae Kobayashi, who voices Lilith in Yamibou and is a seasoned voice actress. Most recently, I was acquainted with Kaori Nazuka, as she voiced Fumio Murakumi in Girl Friend Beta. She has voiced over 200 other roles in shows like Restaurant to Another World 2, Revue Starlight, Akame Ga Kill, My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, Fairy Tail, and RIN: Daughters of Mnemosyne. 

There's also the three voice actresses who have roles in Kokoro Toshokan, otherwise known as Kokoro Library: Yumi Ichihara who voices Aruto, Miyuki Sawashiro who voices Iina, and Chiwa Saitō, who voices Kokoro, the main protagonist. Sawashiro also voices Asako Shibasaki in Library War and Mirepoc Finedel in Tatakau Shisho: The Book of Bantorra, perhaps the only person on this list who is shown as voicing three librarian characters. Miyuki, on other hand, is also a seasoned voice actress, even voicing a character in My Little Pony. The final actor I'd like to mention is Marina Inoue who voices Iku Kasahara in Library War. She has voiced many anime characters over the years.

There were five other Japanese actors, all in Library War. This included Tomoaki Maeno (who voiced Atsushi Dojo), Akira Ishida (who voiced Mikihisa Komaki), Tatsuhisa Suzuki (who voiced Hikaru Tezuka), Kanji Suzumori (who voiced Ryusuke Genda), and Haruo Satō (who voiced Kazuichi Inamine). Meano voiced characters in well-known anime series while Sato voiced characters in anime too, but also Western animations like the Powerpuff Girls and Totally Spies.

There is also Takahiro Sakurai as Riichi Miura in The Ancient Magus Bride: Those Awaiting a Star. [1] He is known for he voicing of characters in Le Chevalier D'Eon, Naruto Shippūden, Ace of Diamond, and many other series, like Tatakau Shisho: The Book of Bantorra where he voiced Ruruta Coozancoona. Ishida also voiced a character in the same series, Mokkania Fluru. There are undoubtedly many more, so this is only scratching the surface when it comes to these characters.

About the characters

top row, left to right: Lilith, Fumio Murakumi, Riichi Miura, Aruto, Kokoro, Iina, Asako Shibasaki, and Iku Kasahara. Bottom row: Atsushi Dojo, Hikaru Tezuka, Ryusuke Genda, Mikihisa Komaki, Kazuichi Inamine, Ruruta Coozancoona, Mokkania Fluru, and Mirepoc Finedel.

Lilith in Yamibou is the library's guardian. She is the third creator of worlds. She is also a lesbian attracted to Hazuki who she flirts with throughout the series. She dislikes Eve, who is the love interest of Hazuki, her adopted sister. She also is considerably wise and has a wide range of knowledge, while wanting to get Eve back to the library.

Fumio Murakumi is a main character in Girl Friend Beta, and third year student. She was once introverted and lonely, but Erena becomes one of her closest friends and she likely has a crush on her. She is often carrying a book and has a strong inner personality, while she can speak politely when needed, from time to time.

Riichi Miura in The Ancient Magus Bride: Those Awaiting a Star is a librarian of a library within a forest. He can be nurturing and gentle, even if a bit awkward at times. He helps out Chise Hatori, who took refuge from evil spirits in the library. Riichi later gets Chise a library card, lets her explore around the library, but she accidentally leaves the door open letting in monsters which eat all the books and seem to put him at death's door. In the final episode, Chise watches as the monster swallows up the library and Riichi while she gives the book back to the person she intended to go to. She tries to go back there later and the library is gone, with no evidence of it being there. Her mentor later tells her the library is like something out of a legend, and she bonds with her mentor, and others over the story.

Aruto in Kokoro Library is one of the protagonists and is a quiet girl. She works at the small library located on an unpopulated mountain, with a strong-minded girl named Iina and a girl who has the same name as the library, Kokoro. All three are sisters.

Asako Shibasaki, Iku Kasahara, Atsushi Dojo, Hikaru Tezuka, Ryusuke Genda, Mikihisa Komaki, and Kazuichi Inamine are all characters in Library War. Asako is a library clerk supervisor who is an intelligence specialist and helps Iku study the catalogs. She also tries to give Iku advice and later falls in love with Hikaru, another library clerk supervisor. Iku, the protagonist, is a new member of the Library Defense Force who struggles in training. Atsushi is another librarian who is part of the defense force and develops romantic feelings for Iku, with both later marrying. Ryusuke is a supervising librarian and veteran field commander. Kazuichi commands the Library Defense Force and is a big part on the battle with the Media Betterment Committee. Mikihisa is another librarian who is often  smiling or laughing at his coworkers, and pushed Iku to join the task force.

Some of the many characters in Tatakau Shisho: The Book of Bantorra, also known as Armed Librarians include Ruruta Coozancoona, Mokkania Fluru, and Mirepoc Finedel. Ruruta is director and founder of the Bantorra Library, while Mokkania is one of the strongest armed librarians, and Mirepoc is a third-grade armed librarian.

Notes

[1] IMDB breaks this up into Part 2, and Part 3 rather than putting them all under one show even though they all part of the same OVA, but doesn't have Part 1, so this ANN page serves as a source here.
