Youmacon 2009 Brad Swaile says yes i am kira

this guy is so awsome. I think about all the people he touched this weekend, he didnt turn down one autograph, he actually signed some of my deathnote and gundam materials. and he hugged me twice. I love stars like this. they havent been changed from being in the spotlight, and he appriciates his followers. hopfully i will see him at the comicon in chicago next year.


Vancouver-born and raised, Brad began acting in elementary school and in high school landed his first voice acting gig as a pony named Ace in "My Little Pony Tales". Soon afterwards, he landed his first anime role as Mousse in "Ranma ½. Some of his more notable characters include Amuro, Quatre, Dearka and Auel (on their respective "Gundam" series), Gohan (from "Dragon Ball Z", UK and Canada), Kicker ("Transformers: Energon"), Lan ("Megaman: NT Warrior"), and Nightcrawler ("X-Men: Evolution"). Brad has worked on several anime series including "InuYasha", "Hikaru No Go", "Hamtaro", "Maison Ikkoku", "Infinite Ryvius", "Tokyo Underground", "Soul Taker", "Project Arms", "Boys Over Flowers", "Kimba the White Lion", "Shakugan No Shana", "Dokkoida", "Saber Marionette J", "Video Girl Ai", "Arjuna", "Zoids", and "Dragon Drive". Along with voice acting, Brad works professionally as a graphic designer and illustrator and, when not at the hockey rink or on the baseball field, enjoys playing drums and guitar. Brad can be most recently heard as Light in "Death Note" (and its live-action films), Rock in "Black Lagoon", Ryuki in "The Story of Saiunkoku" and Setsuna in his most recent mecha project, "Gundam 00".

[babygirl91580]

@iiEquinoxx lmfao i know right, did i scream loud enough, brad was awsome here, i hope he comes to his years youmacon!

[OneHundredProblems]

nothing compare to the JAPANESE voice

[babygirl91580]

@OneHundredProblems i must agree, but , for the most part, i think brad did a pretty good job as lite, most english voice acting takes away from the japanese characters, but i really truely think brad did a good job for lite in english :)

[KurosakiLuvar01]

He's camera shy. awwwww. lol

[babygirl91580]

@KurosakiLuvar01 brad by far is the coolest person, at the convention they say you can only have 4 things signed, lol he went out of his way to say dont say anything and signed like 6 of my dvds and video games that he played on :) and i got cool pictures of him. i missed him this year at the convention, but hopefully next year ill catch him again

[KATTUNKitten]

And this is why Kira/Light is the best death note character ever! L can never have a laugh like that! >3

[BakaMeganekko]

Nightcrawler is kira!

[FantasmicaXD]

First he does Kira's laugh THEN Kurts adorable line *dreamy sigh* Brad ftw!!! 8D i love him!!!!

[ThatPokeyGuy]

Is that a gun on Brad's back? o.o

[BlackberryFreakify]

"It's over nine thousand!" XD

[TheKittenish]

It sounds so much different than in the show, but I can tell it's the same guy. I guess he's shy of laughing like that in front of everyone.

[mayhudson]

No dislikes?

Just as planned.

[JermzzzyFTW]

Living proof you can be turned on by someones voice alone xD

[Tomorrowsfeelings]

I've hugged this guy myself!

[ChannyForever101]

ITS A VICIOUS CYCLE! IT'S A TRAP! xD awesome laugh! :)
