Who is your favorite seiyuu (voice actor)?

[Exdeathmore]

I've been on a binge lately, looking up all the different voice actors for anime series, and I'm always surprised to see what other roles they played. Now I want to ask you all who your favorite voice actor(s) is, what character they voiced that made them your favorite, and as a bonus, what other role(s) they played that you didn't expect?
For me, one is definitely Takehito Koyasu, for voicing Shu Shirakawa from the Super Robot Wars series, DIO from JoJo, and so many others. One role I didn't know he had that surprised me was the titular character of Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo.

I've always had a soft spot for Megumi Hayashibara. I've liked pretty much everything she's been involved with that I've seen.

Favorite male actor is Tomokazu Sugita.

Female is Kobayashi Yuu

Both are absolutely hilarious.

Hrmm...I couldn't really pick a single female seiyuu that I would say is my favorite, but for my favorite male Seiyuu?

Yuuichi Nakamura.

There's something about how amazingly smooth his voice is and just how much fun he does try to put in his various roles.

Jeez, that's a lot.

Male voices I really like are Norio Wakamoto [DRACULA], Takehito Koyasu [Gamlin], Toshihiko Seki [Duo, Momotaros, Miro, Senketsu], Koji Yusa [Kuja, Urataros], Ryota Ohsaka [Maou] and Houchu Ohtsuka [DENEB]. Female voices I really like are Saori Hayami [Ikaros, Hina, Hsien-Ko, Ruth, & Aila], Yu Kobayashi [Katsu-nee & Ranmaru], and Aki Toyosaki [Tomo & Momo].

Yuuichi Nakamura's good but he's showing up on everything now and it's turned into 'boring me'. I do like his roles on the things I like, I just don't like to hear him on everything.
