Biography

According to the Anime News Network as of early August 2007, Toshihiko Seki is one of the more prolific male voice actors with 215 roles credited to his name. He is tied with voice actors Tomomichi Nishimura and Nobuo Tobita.

In June 2004, Seki was honored by the readers of Animage Magazine in the 26th Annual Reader's Poll, where he was ranked the 9th favorite voice actors currently working in Japan, largely in recognition of his performance as Rau Le Creuset from Mobile Suit Gundam SEED.[2]

Seki tends to mostly voice characters who are very serious or easily agitated, e.g. Ougi Takaya in Mirage of Blaze, Sanzo in Saiyuki, Bleed Kaga in Future GPX Cyber Formula, Duo Maxwell in Mobile Suit Gundam Wing, Iruka Umino in Naruto, Kaien Shiba in Bleach and Momotaros in Kamen Rider Den-O. However, he has also played those who are composed and pleasant (Luva, Ru Baraba Dom). On some occasions, he has also played deranged villains : (Legato Bluesummers, Rau Le Creuset, Embryo, Muzan Kibutsuji).

In August 2020, it was announced that he has tested positive for COVID-19,[3] and later recovered and discharged on August 14, 2020.
