*Codec ringing* Snake: Colonel, I need you to describe seiyuu here for me. Colonel: You want to know about David Hayter, huh, Snake? Snake: Huh? No, not my English voice actor, Colonel, but my 'seiyuu', the Japanese equivalent of a voice actor. Colonel: Oh, right. My mistake. Akio Ohtsuka is one of the most respected seiyuu veterans in the business. He's the son of another veteran seiyuu, the late Chikao Ohtsuka, making him an old son. Until a few years ago, he was also married to another seiyuu, Yoko Soumi, known for her Vamp, serious lady or Femme Fatale roles (like Karen Kasumi from X 1999 the TV series, Atsuko from Yu Yu Hakusho). Snake: So he's part of seiyuu royalty, eh? I wouldn't be surprised if his kids became seiyuus as well. Colonel: Known for a deep, gruff voice that fits him into veteran-like roles, Akio often lands characters who are widely considered Badass, making him quite a fan favorite amongst older seiyuus. He'll gladly do humor roles, as well. Snake: Going from serious to humorous, eh? Wouldn't it be best to stick to one role?
Akio Ohtsuka has performed in the following roles:
Solid Snake and Naked Snake aka the young Big Boss in Metal Gear Solid.
