(Kanna Nobutoshi)

other characters that I know he's played:

why I like him:
The two roles I've mainly heard Kanna play are Tasuki from Fushigi Yuugi and Gabriel from Tenshi ni Narumon! (both are two of my favorite anime characters). Both characters are total punks and totally hilarious, and their very personalities and natures would not be possible without Kanna's ability to speak in the "rough" Kansai dialect (which is not his native dialect, by the way - he's a Tokyo lad :p) and his talent for comedic acting. Kanna's voice is unique in that even though it can sound quite rough and brash, there's still a soft/vulnerable quality to it; it's a nice effect, and anyone who's heard him sing a slow song in particular will know quite well what I mean. Kanna also scores extra points with me for being part of E.M.U. - Entertainment Music Unit - a really talented five-seiyuu vocal group (the other members of the group are Okiayu Ryoutarou, Midorikawa Hikaru, Ishikawa Hideo, and Sakaguchi Daisuke). All in all, a wonderful voice with lots of talent behind it.

A picture of Kanna reaching up with his hands, from E.M.U.'s Remix album; maybe it's the way he's posing, but it seems like he has really big hands. o.O *L* Which isn't a bad thing, cause I like guys with big hands, but... Oh, I'll shut up now. ^^; *L*
