Midorikawa Hikaru

(Midorikawa Hikaru)

Cool Joe o.o;


birthday: 2 May 1968 (Taurus)
blood type: B
height: 172 cm (5'8'')
birthplace: Tochigi
agent: Aoni Production

anime characters I've heard him play (listed in the order that I saw them):

(personal favorite characters are listed in red)

- Fiore (Bishoujo Senshi Sailormoon R movie)
- Tochizawa (Koko wa Greenwood)
- Rukawa Kaede (Slam Dunk)
- Tamahome (Fushigi Yuugi)
- Zelgadis (Slayers)
- Mikage Souji (Shoujo Kakumei Utena)
- Rail (Lost Universe)

other characters that I know he's played:

- Ail/Ginga Seijuurou (Bishoujo Senshi Sailormoon R)
- Hiiro Yui (Gundam Wing)

why I like him:
I really only like Midorikawa when he pitches his voice a certain way - if he does it that way, then I really like the character he's playing (like Fiore from the Sailormoon R movie and Mikage from Utena), and if he does it some other way, the character just ends up annoying me. ^^;;; That's not really Midorikawa's fault, though, cause if I'm already annoyed by a character I'll most likely be annoyed at whatever voice is coming out of that character's mouth. :p However, when Midorikawa uses *the* voice, the one I like, I love it. He's got amazing acting skills as well, and I wouldn't love Fiore and Mikage as much as I do if it weren't for his talent.
