The Complete Takehito Koyasu

This page contains all of Koyasu-san's roles in TV, OAV, and movie anime.

Bold lettering indicates a fairly major role in the anime, * asterisks and bold lettering * indicate a must-see for Koyasu fans, and hard-to-read italics indicate an extremely minor part, although when the character is called "Henchman C," you can probably figure that out for yourself.

Some of these pictures were swiped from other anime websites; I'm replacing them with ones I scanned/screencaptured myself as fast as I can. Gomen, ne?

Sandra (Ai Tenshi Wedding Peach) (TV) 7/4/95

Sakuya Kira (Angel Sanctuary) (OAV) 5/25/00
Olivie (Angelique) (OAV) 5/17/00

The guardian of beauty. No relation to Gestalt's Olivier, although they seem to share the same taste in enormous dangly earrings (see also Yasha-Oh Gai).

LINK: Angelique~The road to be the Queen

Francois (Anime San Juushi [Anime Three Musketeers]) (TV) 10/9/87-2/17/89

Koyasu-san made his debut as Aramis' deceased fiance. (Yeah, Aramis is a woman in this version.)

The world's second-greatest archer, prince of the mountain bandits.

Momitebon (Bomberman Biidaman Bakugaiden) (TV) 2/7/98-?

Ebihara-sensei is a sweet home-economics teacher in episode 4. Kotobuki-kun has the role of the chief thug in the play in episode 15. (He's also the villain-cum-romantic-lead in CLAMP's "Gakuen Tokkei Duklyon.")

NO IMAGE Shura? (Fuuma no Shoujiro?) (OAV)
NO IMAGE Dr. Kessler (Gatchaman) (OAV) 10/1/94?
Olivier (Gestalt) (OAV) 1/22/97

Our hero, a mild-mannered priest who has a pink-haired girl thrust upon him. Gestalt has very pretty character designs, but they cut too many corners on the animation. Apparently, it's based on a manga by Yun Kouga of Earthian fame. I never would have guessed.

real ugly Beruiman (G Gundam ep. 30,34) (TV) 4/1/94
Black Samurai (Granzort) (TV) 4/7/89

Sorry, this is not another bishounen role. This is actually Rabi's mother in a voice-altering helmet.

Dwight Camry (Gundam F-91) (MOVIE) 3/16/91

A general's son, a beauty pageant MC, and the impromptu pilot of the shuttle on which the kids escape. Dwig's versatile, but not very important.

* Zechs Merquise/ Milliard Peacecraft * (Gundam W) (TV, OAV, MOVIE) 4/7/95

NO IMAGE Shinobu? (High School Aura Buster) (OAV) 1999?
Sei Array/Sei Arisaka (Hime-chan no Ribon) (TV) 10/2/92

A magical boy. Possibly the roundest-eyed character Koyasu-san's ever played.

The male lead, a college student/shoe salesman.

Masanari? Date?/Yawaru (Jikuu Tenshou Nazca) (TV) 1998

Some sort of hero who channels ancient Incan powers, in this new TV series whose kanji I cannot read.

NO IMAGE Fernando (Kaiketsu Zorro) (TV) 4/5/96
Dai (Kaito Saint Tail ep. 5) (TV) 10/12/95

A villain whose dastardly plot to steal some statues from an amusement-park clock is foiled by The Ponytailed One.

NO IMAGE Hitoshi Matsumoto? (Kyoufu no Kyou-chan) (TV) 11/13/94
Nekkii (Kyatto Ninden Teyandee) (TV) 2/1/90

You might know this character better as Spritz in "Samurai Pizza Cats."

NO IMAGE Siegfried Kircheis (Legend of Galactic Heroes: Golden Wings) (OAV) 1992

As much as I love both Koyasu-san and LOGH, I'm wondering what happened to the usual seiyuu.

Minoru Shinohara (Level C) (OAV) 1995

The main character's older brother in this graphic shounen-ai OAV.
LINK: The Shoujo Anime List (short description)

Gamlin Kizaki (Macross 7) (TV, OAV, MOVIE) 10/2/94

The left-out party of the main love triangle--an earnest, by-the-books fighter pilot who has an omiai (arranged- marriage meeting) with Mylene and falls for her.

NO IMAGE Gin'yuu Shijin (Mahoujin Guruguru) (TV) 10/13/94-9/21/95
Ayanojou Aburatsubo (Mahou Tsukaitai! [I Want to Use Magic!) (OAV) 1996

The most consistently skillful member of the magic club. He's cool, handsome, and aggressively homosexual.
LINK: Washuu's Island has more Aburatsubo screencaptures than you can shake a stick at.

* Alucard F. Mosquiton * (Master Mosquiton) (OAV, TV) 1996

The title character, a three-quarters vampire with a Kenshin-ish mild/wild split personality, so Koyasu-san uses the breadth of his range in a single character. Wah! I want my own vampire too!

Saaberu (MAZE Bakunetsu Jikuu) (TV) 9/4/97
NO IMAGE Shingo Naichi (Meitantei Conan ep. 21) (TV) 1/8/96
Shigeru Aoba (Neon Genesis Evangelion) (TV, MOVIE) 10/4/95

A small role in a big anime. Aoba doesn't do much in the first ten episodes.

NO IMAGE Shou (Minerva no Kenshi) (OAV) 12/17/94

I believe this is the male lead part.

NO IMAGE Jenii (Nagagutsu o Haita Neko no Boken [The Adventures of Puss in Boots]) (TV) 4/1/92
NO IMAGE Saizon (NG Knight Lamune & 40) (TV) 4/6/90
Yagi (Nineteen) (OAV) 1990

The hero's best friend, a would-be ladykiller (in this picture, he just got slapped by a high school girl at a disco). A small role in a bittersweet, romantic one-shot OAV.

NO IMAGE Prince Justin (Ningyo Hime Mariina no Boken [The Adventures of Mermaid Princess Marina]) (TV) 1/13/91
NO IMAGE ??? (NINKU) (MOVIE) 7/15/95

NO IMAGE ??? (Ore wa Chokukaku) (TV) 1/5/91
Tanoura (Osakana wa Ami no Naka [Fish in the Trap]) (OAV) 7/20/94

I think this is a shounen-ai OAV.

NO IMAGE Marius (Pig Mario) (TV) 2/11/90
Kosaburou (Pocket Monster) TV
Hiroki Takasugi (Princess Nine) (TV) 1998
This is about a girls' baseball team.
Daisuke (Ranma 1/2 ep 5, ?) (TV, OAV) 4/15/89

Well, I suppose it's something to be able to say that you played a perfectly normal, non-transforming, non-fighting character in Ranma 1/2. Ranma and Akane's classmate.
LINK: The New Temple of Hiroshi and Daisuke

Kajiki Sadashiro (Rurouni Kenshin) (MOVIE) 12/20/97
A villain.

NO IMAGE George Hosoi (Ryuuseiki Gakusaver) earlier than 3/24/94
Mitsurugi Hanagata (Saber Marionette J) (TV, OAV) 10/1/96

SMJ's resident punching bag--the princely bishounen gone horribly, horribly awry. I find this show painful to watch, but it does showcase the other end of Koyasu-san's range.

Shinya/Tekkaman Evil (Tekkaman Blade) (TV) 2/25/92

Real subtle name, huh?

Yosho (Tenchi Muyo!) (OAV, TV) 1992

Perhaps you don't recognize him in his youth, but this is Tenchi's grandfather (and Aeka's brother).

Gai Kuroki/Yasha-Oh Gai (Tenkuu Senki Shurato) (TV) 4/6/89

Hero Shurato's best friend, who somehow becomes bad bad bad when the two of them get transported to another world. (Think Miaka and Yui.) One of Koyasu-san's first major roles--he was only 22 when he played Gai.

Pulse (Twin Signal) (OAV) 9/21/96

LINK: The Japanese Official Twin Signal Homepage has movies and character sketches, but Twin Signal~Family Game is better if you want to learn more about Pulse (plus, it's in English).

Dr. Okabe (Utsukushiki Sei no Madoushi Reirei [Rei Rei]) (OAV)
The doctor manipulated by various horny women in this hentai OAV.
Raior Sabato (V Gundam) (TV) 4/2/93

A bad-guy pilot. He first appears in episode three, and then he seems to die in episode four.

NO IMAGE Toru Yabe (Visionary 2) (OAV) 1995?
The swingin' friend of the main character, responsible for the whole skydiving thing in the first story, "Skydiving in Love." Pretty good-looking considering this is hentai.
Dr. Crimt (Voogie's Angel) (OAV) 10/24/97
* Aya * (Weiss Kreuz) (RADIO, TV) 1998

The radio drama Weiss has finally been made into an anime!!! Aya is a cool, dark, nihilist (there are other kinds?), a "man who has forgotten how to smile." And he's one of the heroes. ^_^ Kore, mite mitai naa...

LINK: my Weiss kreuz page ^_^

A stern boy with a bamboo sword who chairs the school's committee on dress codes (or something like that) when he isn't off fighting evil as "Turbo Kai," part of the Dagwon team.
LINK: There's not a lot of Dagwon stuff out there. Sumire's Dagwon Page is the best I could do.

NO IMAGE Kido (Yuu Yuu Hakusho) (TV) 10/10/92

He's supposedly the bad guy with short yellow hair in episodes 67-71.

Takuto Izumi (Zetsuai 1989, Bronze) (OAV) 1992

Not the idol singer, the other guy, the sullen, alienated soccer star. This is shounen-ai, if you didn't know.
