Spike Spiegel.

Yamadera-san is more than that, of course. He usually voices cool men (Besides Spike from Cowboy Bebop, Kaji from Neon Genesis Evangelion counts as well), but what makes him such a famous VA is his ability to just do ANY type of characters, including Ein from Cowboy Bebop, Donald Duck and "Boxer" (Balrog/Mike Bison) in Street Fighter. He also has dubbed actors for American films dubbed into Japanese, including Jim Carrey, Eddie Murphy, and Robin Williams.

He was married to fellow seiyuu Mika Kanai, from 1994 to 2006. He is also a skilled "monomane tarento" (impressionist), as his appearances in the variety show Monomane Grand Prix would prove.
