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.
