Describe Tomokazu-'''[[BlazBlue|GAUNTLET HADES!]]'''-Sugita here, [[Sayonara, Zetsubou-sensei|and do it in an old-fashioned way]].


One of the seiyuus who went from virtually unnoticed to VERY POPULAR thanks to the anime juggernaut that is ''[[The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya]]'', where he voiced [[Deadpan Snarker|Kyon]]. Before that, some people might recognise him as Hideki from ''[[Chobits]]'', but, well that's quite in the past. After his performance as Kyon, he started displaying a wide range of voices, making him one of the best and most revered seiyus in the business today. His forte is most likely the [[Deadpan Snarker]] type.

He's <s>apparently</s> very [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cKykThbowOk "hardcore"] according to the [[Blaz Blue|Blue Radio]] podcast. Plus it's known, from various radio shows and interviews, that he's also a VERY keen gamer and anime [[Otaku]], coming out with references to anime, manga and games even when nobody besides him knows what he's talking about. This is why he's nicknamed '[[Fan Nickname|Freedom Sugita]]' by fans. And no, he is not doing this because he's influenced by his role in ''[[Gintama]]''. He just happened to be awesome like that. Occasionally, a fellow seiyu or two will catch the references and continue the conversation from there.

Sugita always used to mention random facts about Nakamura on the radio shows he was on when Nakamura was still quite unknown in the industry and it quickly became a running gag between the other seiyuus on the radio shows that Sugita would mention Nakamura's name at least once each time he was on a show. They would tease him about 'that Nakamura guy' ['mata Nakamura ka!'] who they didn't know personally but had heard lots about from Sugita. One time they asked him if he had a picture of Nakamura because they finally wanted to see the guy Sugita was constantly swooning about and Sugita shocked them by revealing he had a picture of Nakamura as his cell phone wallpaper. Not only were they shocked at how good looking Nakamura was but hardly anybody believed Sugita's reason for having Nakamura as a wallpaper (apparently Nakamura teased him about having an anime character as a wallpaper so Sugita made a picture of Nakamura and used that as a wallpaper 'to spite him'. Uh-huh). Once Nakamura got more known in the industry people naturally started asking him about that 'Sugita business' and he usually denied having anything to do with him. Turns out Nakamura is just tsundere. All in all there's LOADS of reasons and material to back up this ship. Just start listening to any radio show Sugita's ever been on and have your mind blown. Heck, some female seiyuu even openly ship them!

/wiki/Tomokazu Sugitacreator

Describe Tomokazu-GAUNTLET HADES!-Sugita here, and do it in an old-fashioned way.

One of the seiyuus who went from virtually unnoticed to VERY POPULAR thanks to the anime juggernaut that is The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, where he voiced Kyon. Before that, some people might recognise him as Hideki from Chobits, but, well that's quite in the past. After his performance as Kyon, he started displaying a wide range of voices, making him one of the best and most revered seiyus in the business today. His forte is most likely the Deadpan Snarker type.

He also has some sort of rivalry with Tomokazu Seki, just because they have the same given name. They are in fact managed by the same agency Atomic Monkey which Seki is a founding member of.

He's apparently very "hardcore" according to the Blue Radio podcast. Plus it's known, from various radio shows and interviews, that he's also a VERY keen gamer and anime Otaku, coming out with references to anime, manga and games even when nobody besides him knows what he's talking about. This is why he's nicknamed 'Freedom Sugita' by fans. And no, he is not doing this because he's influenced by his role in Gintama. He just happened to be awesome like that. Occasionally, a fellow seiyu or two will catch the references and continue the conversation from there.

He's notable that for a few times, he made some spot on Norio Wakamoto impressions, once in Bururaji, again in Gintama and later when he, along with Yuuichi Nakamura and Takahiro Sakurai, do so while playing a Yu Yu Hakusho Genesis fighting game, all picking Wakamoto's character. And narrating it. Later he does it again in Sket Dance.

Now available as a GPS

Him and Yuuichi Nakamura also host a program called Tokyo Encounter where they play video games and share some trivia. And also goof off. That Wakamoto impersonation? It's from that show.

Voice roles by Tomokazu Sugita:

Bet you're thinking "this isn't how I imagined Gin-chan to sound", huh? Well sorry, this is the voice I was born with.

Tomokazu Sugita provides examples of the following tropes:

"Ore no Chuu wa dorrrre da?

Yare, yare...
