Notable in:[]
- Ataru Moroboshi in Urusei Yatsura (also Darrin's Ataru's father in the 2022 anime reboot, taking over the role from Kenichi Ogata; Ataru himself is Darrin'd by Hiroshi Kamiya (no relation to Akira))
- Shin in Fist of the North Star
- Kai Shiden in Mobile Suit Gundam
- Burume in Xabungle
- Piccolo Jr. in Dragonball Z
- Olivier Poplin in Legend of the Galactic Heroes The awesome red haired Ace Pilot wisecracking sex machine.
- Ashura in Soul Eater (Sheesh, how the HECK does he pull off such a high-pitched screech as a sixty-two year old man when similarly-aged veterans like Akira Kamiya can no longer do Kenshiro's similarly pitched battle cries?)
- Probably because Kenshiro lasts for the entire series, while Shin is only for a few first, so Furukawa still has a lot of lung powers in reserve.
