Which anime character does not suit his/her voice actor? Fans weigh in

In anime, there are characters whose voice actors are perfect for them and have become sort of the iconic roles for their voice actors, like Rie Kugimiya as Shakugan no Shana’s Shana or Maaya Uchida as Chuunibyou’s Rikka Takanashi. However, there are also those who are clearly not suited for the role.


Charapedia has asked 10,000 people, 56% male and 44% female, on which anime character does not fit his/her voice character. Here is what the fans have to say:


30) Shuichi Ikeda as Char Aznable (The Gundam franchise)


29) Yasuo Yamada as Lupin III


28) Suzuki Tatsuhisa as Takao Kazunari (Kuroko’s Basketball)


27) Kana Hanazawa as Nadeko Sengoku (Monogatari Series)


26) Yuki Kaji as Eren Yeager (Attack on Titan)


25) Nobuyo Ooyama as Doraemon

1) Tomokazu Sugita as Gintoki Sakata (Gintama)

Gintoki is often regarded by many as Tomokazu Sugita’s most iconic role, however, it seems like there are many fans who don’t seem to think he is the right one for the job. This is one rather surprising #1 as Sugita’s performance as Gintoki has often been considered comedy gold.


People also seem to not like Aki Toyosaki’s air-headed performance of one of the most iconic air-headed characters in anime, Yui. However, many seem to think that she is deserving of the number 2 spot as they feel that she should have a better singing voice.


It also seems like many people did not like many of Hiroshi Kamiya’s most iconic roles as Levi, Kayomi Araragi, and Izaya Orihara. While he lets out his mischievous nature in Izaya, his perverted nature as Araragi, and his seriousness in Levi, many seem to think that those weren’t enough to satisfy them.


Other roles are a bit more understandable with Masako Nozawa as Son Goku and Mayumi Tanaka as Monkey D. Luffy. While Nozawa would be perfect for the younger version of Goku, many feel that a guy should have been given the role of his adult version to bring out Goku’s manliness.


Other surprising roles that fans did not seem to like that much are very iconic ones, especially for the people voicing them. They include Aya Hirano as Haruhi Suzumiya and Jun Fukuyama as Lelouch Lamperouge. While Hirano’s rocking performances as Haruhi have many fans saying she is perfect for the role, many fans still seem to not think she is fit for it. As for Jun Fukuyama hamming it up, many people think the extra amount of ham by Fukuyama does not fit the more serious role as Lelouch.
