There is a very good reason, I think, that why people who play as or voice villains or anti-heroes are among the nicest people in the world in reality: they are PAID to let out any pent up negativity in them through their roles. To wit: Norio Wakamoto is a former cop, and when the tsunami hit, he rushed out to help the recovery effort. He stated "This isn't over, the worst is yet to come, but I am ready to give my soul for the people."
@johnnysasaki In my experience, setting an Xbox's language to Japanese will make certain games like Sonic Heroes and Blinx the Time Sweeper play in Japanese. For whatever system you have, the same thing might work.
I guess being discreet is his nature? He was apart of the police force before going into seiyu work. But yeah underneath his appearance belies the awsomeness that makes him famous today don't you think?
I usually picture Wakamoto standing on some kind of epic mountain top with an epic background preferable with lightning bolts and raining fire) atop a majestically terrifying horse in some type of high-ranking military uniform.
Never would've pictured a skinny middle-aged man with glasses.... But hey.... I'm not complaining as long as he keeps doing voices!
Norio Wakamoto is a very philosophical man =). The people he plays are usually villains and when you see him offset and not voicing he is a real intelligent and just seems real down to earth. He has definitely been doing voice work for a long just like others such as hikaru midorikawa, ryotaro okiayu, and many others. It really shows on him. That is why he is definitely one of my top 5 favorites as for the male voice actors in jpn =). I enjoyed this interview thank you for posting =)
OMG!!!!! Wakamoto is amazing!!!!......he's Bison in Street Fighter, Igniz in KOF 2001, Rugal in KOF 2002, Cell in Dragon Ball z, Alexander Anderson in Hellsing, Nene in Blue Dragon, and Xemnas in Kibgdom Hearts 2........
