#Aizen's VA

[shonenkun309]

Me : *trying to forget abt Ayakashi by playing Genshin impact*

Also me : *looking at the Japanese voice actors list*

Meanwhile Paimon's VA 's name :

It's been almost a week since I didn't log in Arr and now that I left the game they'll start to appear everywhere outside the game to torture me 🙂

[bjorkshire-pudding]

We getting into the Aizen plot

[ruinlost]

>I dont have a lot of claims for farrows voice aside from the one here just yet but to describe it as being mainly monotonous when he’s relaxed ,a bit deep voiced

before Id like to think as cipher he definitely had more life in his voice,less flat? His tone has definitely shifted a lot but has definitely shined through a lot more as time went on as well as the places he was in his life..

[sashi-ya]

We get it, Gege. You love Bleach.

now, can we laugh a little bit more about this? so, this guy looks like Aizen:

He is facing this guy that is voiced by Urahara Kisuke VA:

And then, this guy right next to the "fake aizen" is voiced by Aizen's VA:

Someone please tell me Shinji is present too 😂

[always-wizu-you]

Hello everyone, today I wanna talk about the people behind DanPri characters (a.k.a. their VAs/seiyuu, though they do more than just voice act). Some kind of introduction I guess.

Sorry for reposting this, I accidentally posted it when I saved the draft :(

So without further ado, let's start! :D

Seiichirou Yamashita

Nicknames: Seichi (Koba, Reiou), Sei-chan (Tatsumaru), Yamashita-san/kun (Kawai-kun, Uzawa-kun, almost everyone else) Birthday: May 21, 1992 Hometown: Hiroshima Agency: Office Osawa Some well-known roles outside PriPara: Touken Ranbu - Yagen Toushirou & Aizen Kunitoshi Horimiya - Toru Ishikawa Twisted Wonderland - Ace Trappola

Shougo's voice actor, the most normal one among WITH in a glance. His voice is generally low-to-mid tone, but he's also good at voicing mischievous early-teen boys. Seichi chose to be a voice actor because he's always loved acting, but he actually longed to be an actor. However, he sees voice acting as the most realistic path for him.

Seichi debuted from 2012, but it wasn't until 2016 that he started getting main roles. A year later, he got the role as Shougo. When he found out about PriPara stage play, where the main casts' VA also act on stage, he basically told the director that "If there's a stage play for DanPri too one day, I'm available (wink)". And yeah, that dream was no longer a dream, as he got to be Shougo's actor on the stage play.

Role in WITH: Tsukkomi (the "normal one")

If you watch them enough, you'd know that Kobatatsu and Reiou are known to be fooling around while Seichi reminds them to behave. He gets them to be back on track in radio shows, free talk sessions in lives, etc. However, according to Koba and Reiou, he's actually more carefree than it seems, and sometimes went out somewhere on his own without notice. In some fan reports, Seichi's often seen to be the one being doted on the most, and Koba-Reiou admitted through a Q&A session that he's the one that feels like the youngest despite being the tsukkomi.

Tatsuyuki Kobayashi

Nicknames: Kobatatsu (fans/almost everyone), Ta-tan (Seichi), Tatsuyuki (Seichi) Birthday: April 21, 1989 Hometown: Chiba Agency: avex Some well-known roles outside PriPara: King of Prism - Ace Ikebukuro Twisted Wonderland - Cater Diamond Paradox Live (Stage play) - Satsuki Ito

Asahi's voice actor, literal personification of bright morning sunshine on stage. He's actually more of a singer and stage actor than voice actor. He started his career as a singer after winning the 7th Anisong Grand Prix in 2013. You can see some footages of it on Youtube (here's the digest of his performances). After debuting as a singer, he also started acting on stage plays since 2016.

Kobatatsu's career as a voice actor started in 2015, and Asahi is his first non-nameless supporting role. His voice is generally mid-to-high, and he's good at playing cheerful, happy-go-lucky characters. Seichi said that Kobatatsu has a habit to talk in childish voice outside from work.

Role in WITH: Main performer + co-mentor(?)

Due to his background, he's the most experienced stage performer among WITH members. And because of that, he became the "main dancer" of WITH, especially during their early days. He also helped the other two on learning choreographies (e.g. Tick-Tock Magical Time for their first solo event) and on performing in general. Seichi and Reiou said that they learned a lot from him during the rehearsals of their stage play.

Reiou Tsuchida

Nickname: Tsuchi (Tatsumaru), Reiou, Tsuchida-san Birthday: January 6, 1993 Hometown: Hokkaido Agency: 81produce Some well-known roles outside PriPara: Ensemble Stars - Tsukasa Suou VS AMBIVALENZ - Taiyo Haruno & Subaru Takaya

Koyoi's voice actor, one of the funniest guys in the industry. He started his career as voice actor in 2012, but he doesn't have that much leading roles yet. He has quite distinctive voice, but it's pretty versatile. Reiou started becoming more well-known after voicing in Ensemble Stars in 2015, and he got the role as Koyoi in 2017.

Although he seems so unserious, he's actually very multitalented. He's good at imitating other people's voice, drawing, making stories, singing, and so on. Reiou even drew WITH members on their birthday back in 2020 (here's the link: Shougo, Koyoi, Asahi). He started working on his own manga since 2023 and self-publishing it on his Twitter.

Role in WITH: Ghost-director

I've written about how Koyoi's past story was developed from Reiou's idea, but that's not the only thing he contributed to WITH's back story. He proposed many ideas for WITH Stage as they rehearsed, e.g. the dance battle scene between Koyoi and Shinya and DARKNESS SOUL duet scene with Shinya. The director originally asked him to do Koyoi's solo song on that part, but Reiou felt that it'd be more fitting to involve Shinya more.

He also came up with a concept for Quest Milky Way performance during their #IIZE Tour in 2019. Reiou asked the audience to light up their penlights in their own color instead of WITH's members, because WITH were going around the galaxy in that song, and the penlight colors represent everyone's colors as the "stars" (idols) in the galaxy.

Kentarou Kawai

Nickname: Ken-chan (Seichi), Kawataro (some fans and DanPri members), Tono (Uzawa-kun), Kawai-kun (almost everyone) Birthday: April 7, 1997 Hometown: Tokyo Agency: Japan Music Entertainment

Shinya's voice actor, a newcomer who debuted in 2019. He focuses more on being an actor than voice actor, so his only role as a seiyuu is Shinya so far. He's especially close with Uzawa-kun, often goes out together and even invited Uzawa-kun to his family's home. Some fans called the two of them "Tarotaro" (from Kentarou and Shoutarou).

WITH members often praises Kawai-kun as a very earnest, polite, and hard-working kid. He's also a certified sword-fighting actor, and showcases his fighting skills through videos on his SNS accounts (example here). Among all DanPri casts, he's the one that often holds streaming to interact with fans via Instagram Live.

Shoutarou Uzawa

Nickname: Uzawa-kun (almost everyone), Taroumaru (fans) Birthday: January 22, 1997 Hometown: Chiba Agency: 81produce

Ushimitsu's voice actor, also a newcomer who works in the same company as Reiou. He has mid-to-high tone voice. He's voiced many supporting roles in anime, movie dub, and games. Before working under his current company, he was under Japan's children theater company.

Uzawa-kun is a Pretty Series fan, and he was really excited to get the role as Ushimitsu. He's also the one who played Adopara the longest (or, rather, the only one who really played it) among DanPri casts. He's really close with Kawai-kun, but due to the long stage play rehearsal, he used to call Kawai-kun "Tono" (Master) everywhere, even when they meet outside work.

Tatsumaru Tachibana

Nickname: Tatsumaru Birthday: April 21, 1991 Hometown: Fukui Prefecture Agency: Stay Luck Some well-known roles outside PriPara: The God of High School - Mori Jin Aoashi - Eisaku Ootomo Kabukicho Sherlock - Toratarou Kobayashi

Mario's voice actor, an experienced stage actor who started his career as a voice actor in 2019. His natural voice is mid-to-high and sounds mild. He started acting since the age of 10, joining his father's theater company and performing with traveling troupe. He became the theater company's chairman in 2010-2015 before deciding to reside in Tokyo and work there.

Like Kawai-kun, he's also a certified sword-fighting actor, in addition to specializing in playing as a female on stage. His career as a voice actor is still quite short compared to his acting experience, but he's been climbing up in popularity and started getting more main roles. Among all DanPri casts, he's the closest with Seichi due to having voiced as main characters in a series together.

Oh, and he also has a youtube channel, although it doesn't seem to be that active lately.

AIZEN’S VA JUST SPOKE TO ME ON HIS TIKTOK LIVE IN HIS VOICE. I DIDN’T CATCH THO CAUSE I DIDN’T THINK HE WOULD BUT HE DID AND NOW IM GONNA PASS AWAY PEACEFULLY. OKAY BYE. Kyle Hebert you are such a sweetie.

[stupid-sloot-headcanons]

idk anything about aizen so tell me ur fav things about him? :)

Random thots but

It's largely nostalgia but Aizen's English VA is so hot and I really like the English dub overall. His seiyuu is also fantastic but that isn't surprising lol

He wore glasses as a disguise solely to soften his features and I love that. He had to keep appearances up so nobody would suspect he serves cunt

He undergoes a magical girl style transformation with the Hogyoku and has two monster-ish transformations

His hair is so silkyyyy

We know nothing about his past and what may have sparked this desire to replace the Soul King.

He makes tea for the Espada despite the fact that they don't need to drink or eat anything to survive. An omake also explains how the fuck they got water for tea in a desert world (with Harribel's Resurrection power)

The series ends with him still being in the Prison Chair and has one more sick speech about Ichigo's courage (something he notes that Ichigo has in spades)

We still don't know what the FUCK his Bankai is. Basically in Bleach, a Bankai is the secondary form of their sword/spirit's powers. His shikai (the first form) is already top tier so I have no idea what the bankai would be

I'm just reading the Wikia page about him now and there are some gems lol. The Shinigami Women's Association published a photo collection of him called "The Smile of the Sun" but due to his betrayal, it got cancelled

According to Kubo, he knew the entire time that Ukitake had Mimihagi inside him which is why he directly told Ukitake of all people "No one has stood upon the heavens"

Tbh I think he's more right than the Soul Society characters. Like when I first read/saw him angrily yelling at Urahara saying that the real victors in this world see it as it should be and aren't complacent with how it is, and I was like "...actually he's kinda onto something". This was before we learned that in Bleach, God is a mutilated man with immeasurable power that a bunch of nobles put into that position to contain his powers. He may have killed a few hundred or thousand or so people, he may have skewered his trusted lieutenant like a marshmallow at summer camp, and he may have experimented on people's souls. But he's a big picture thinker!

[thehie]

In a world where I still need to finish reading/watching TYBW and all that comes, let's go back to 2010 and 'Ichirin no Hana' sung by Aizen and Hinamori's VAs because I know that anyone who decided as much had a vision™.

It's THE AiHina song it's unreal; not only it's the opening of that arc but it also speaks so well of their absolutely fucked up relationship AND ON TOP OF THAT- I don't know maybe someone is more erudite than me on this topic, but have you any idea if that songs collection done by the VAs was actually made 'in character' by them? BECAUSE I checked (here starts the mental illness) and in this song there are major differences and symbolism that absolutely kill me and make me think that everything is canon compliant in the most hysterical way ever created.

I'm joking because nothing beats the AiHina allegations in the musicals, but let's go:

Sometimes the parts done by the female singer and the male singer don't coincide with the ones divided between the VAs and are switched instead, but to expand on this I should know japanese so my academic heart halts until further knowledge.

The flower motif, on which an essay can be written. Keeping everything short: the metaphor about flowers in the song (referred to the love interest? To 'love' as a concept?) connects flawlessly and a tad too well to Hinamori and Aizen both, as they are depicted as flowers (looking at the not so subtle metatext) during the whole SS arc.

Hinamori VA never sings her verses alone as the original demands. So while she sings, Aizen VAs always lingers beneath, accompanying her; never overpowering but present nonetheless. You might not notice him at first because there are times when he is barely audible, but he is there. I think this is an absurdly well made detail, if it is done intentionally or not, the thing remains.

Conclusions? I'm devastated. And so down bad for Hinamori VA's singing. Objectively her voice is marvellous and it always cracks me up in comparison with the other' singing because... let's say it's the exact same way I envisioned Aizen singing prowess. It's a shame nobody wrote something about that, maybe I'll do. And thank you soundcloud.

here's aizen cosplaying as some characters from street fighter btw. aizen's english dub va voices ryu, while aizen's japanese va voiced vega in the street fighter cd drama.

[aiizenn]

okay okay so what’s your favorite Shikai command, Bankai (the way it’s said) ,Bankai name, and Bankai visual? Also just what’s your favorite all time Bankai in general?

𓈒 𓈒 𓈒 💭₊˚ෆ ohh yeees, hii anon!!

ok ok so! this is honestly a piece of cake (i’ve totally thought abt this b4 ໒꒰ྀིྀི ੭ ˃̵ᴗ˂̵ ꒱ྀི੭ ) let’s goooo . . .

my favorite shikai is definitely—without a doubt— “shatter, kyōka suigetsu” ! it is just so beautifully done. like the whole “shatter” fits the work of his shikai. it has the ability to control all five senses to the point that the person can misinterpret another persons form. creating a simple or complex illusion to deceive his opponents, such as creating a decoy of himself !! kubo is such an amazing mangaka, he did an astonishing job with every command, all are well written, but aizens definitely stood out from the rest!

my favorite bankai (the way it’s said) is no other than how ichigo says it ! it’s one of the most iconic lines and the va did such an outstanding job! you can hear how he says it from the bottom of his heart &’ puts all these emotions into that simple word. aaaand!! it’s the whole pause! oml the pause!! it’s that tiny pause that he does that makes it all much better. “BAN—KAI” !

my favorite bankai name is “minazuki”. unohana’s simple one word bankai name leaves me in awe (although her bankai is far from simple). there are different ways how one interprets the meaning of the name, but the one i like most is “all things end”. it goes well with how her crimson blood-like whip ‘blade’ which could’ve had acid due to the bubbles and hisses— which then dissolved and destroyed everything around her.

my favorite bankai visual? easy. it’s byukuya’s. the pretty swords that turn into pretty pink petals when given its command? count me in! i don’t think there’s much to say besides it’s so breathtaking! when it first appeared in the soul society arc, i was all giddy! plus it suits his so well, a pretty bankai for a pretty man!

my all time favorite bankai is and will always be uraharas. firstly, his shikai commands are mwahh: awaken, cry, &’ call out. the way he says “bankai” with his distinctively calm voice is a chefs kiss. the name of his bankai??! ugh so so good. “kannonbiraki benihime aratame” meaning “modification of the crimson princess dissection at doors of avalokiteśvara” (if you look into the meaning of it you’ll see just how much that bankai suits him) aaand omg the visual?? i can’t wait for his bankai to get animated, in the manga it was so beautifully drawn and when colored . . . oohh myy gossh. overall in general, uraharas bankai is my all time favorite. from his shikai commands to his bankai visual. absolute masterpiece !!

Hell’s Paradise EP3

aka: emotional ties

The Iwagakure chief is insane.. and so if everyone else in this village if they allow kids to watch this man get impaled/attacked several times.

The OP is such a bop and I’ll never get over it.

“You expect me to do this with my hands tied? That’s ridiculous.” For real.. though Gabimaru proved last ep that he’s quite capable of killing with his hands tied anyway, so I doubt it’ll hold him back at all.

They only gave them food to last three days? No way they’ll finish the mission in that time.

Oh my god?? Who the hell sent that cannon ball right to his head?

That was enough to dislocate his neck but hey, no worries since he still managed to get up from that large hit.. Gabimaru is invincible.

“We can tie their hands again on the trio back.” True, it’s not like the shogun is gonna know they were untied or not while on the island.

“I don’t want to kill anyone ‘cause my wife wouldn’t like it.” He is so precious.

Sagiri really made Gabimaru bind his hands again while this other lunatic comes charging in at him to land a hard hit on his head, but he still broke four weapons while he was preoccupied while tying his hands together.. he’s incredible.

Aw man, they left out most of the fight but Gabimaru defeated him nonetheless.

“If the criminal we’re responsible for died, them we simply take his head back.” At least we don’t have to worry about any lone asaemon messing with us then.

OH! This Kisho executioner shares the same va as Kazutora (TR). I’m surprised I vaguely recognized that voice as familiar somehow considering he wasn’t shown much in the recent second season.

Hold up, Chobei getting attacked on the boat? That’s unexpected, but ironic as he’s getting choked out like he did to that one dude last ep.

Damn Shion, enjoying your time with your criminal huh? Though I’m fairly certain she’s trying to take advantage somehow, possibly thinking she has the upper hand since he’s blind, but I don’t think he’ll fall for such a trick. Maybe. I dunno.

Oh boy, Aizen has to monitor that giant guy? Good luck with that.

OKAY OR MAYBE NOT! He’s already dead?? Having that big guy on the loose is not gonna be good.

Ah, there ya go Chobei, I knew you’d break free.

Pfft oh yup, Shion totally knew about that chick’s tricks and killed her on the spot.

Hold up, what happen to Yuzuriha though? Ain’t no way she’s dead, there are scenes from trailers we haven’t seen of her in yet.

“Rumor has it this job will determine the next head of the clan.” Oh so the asaemon definitely have something to gain from this mission as well.

Gabimaru chill out! Why are we attacking Sagiri so suddenly?

Yo our man ain’t half bad with a sword.

Hmmm they’re both pretty hesitant to kill each other though.

“I experienced emotions after meeting my wife.” And thank god for her being such a pure soul.

Damn, his eyes just became lifeless and he broke her sword. Gabimaru getting serious.

Oof, he managed to get Sagiri pinned. This Iwagakure chief really messed up his mind when he was younger.

Again, thank god for his wife!!

“If I’m this weak, I’ll never see my wife again.” Aww honey no! Don’t think that!

Aw, that shot of the two of them with Yui’s spirit was real sweet.

Oh damn, Tamiya chopping off his hand instantly, but ultimately a smart move since these human-faced bugs apparently transform stuff to flowers.

Good lord! That creature is huge!

And Gabimaru & Sagiri are about to face.. some fish man with six arms?

[zanguntsu]

the duality of lee arknights and kisuke being relatively the same and sharing a va vs hellagaur and aizen sharing a va while being absolutely nothing alike

[tatakaeeren]

I CANT FIND IT NAUR (pertaining to the nsfw twins stuff)

also

aizen.......

DARLING WHY ;-;;;;;;;;;;;; look i can stan a murderer but i draw the line at manipulation ASDFASDFASDF i remember when i was first watching soul society arc i alr knew he would become evil bc i told spoiled but i was like oh maybe he's just a quirky mass murderer evil hehe but then like he stabbed hinamori and i was like oh he's like......gaslight gaslight........ please tell me what you see in him I MUST KNOW oh yah for aot i forgot DADDY ZEKE AND ERWIN we can't forget them omg wait there's this erwin fanart I SALIVATED (SORRY TO BE SO THIRSTY SO SOON BUT ARGH) https://twitter.com/Djuney9/status/1674165480230121472?s=20 IT CHANGED ME AS A WOMAN THE TIDDIES

also i see you grimmjow stan u said that you love cold but loving or super energetic and fun where do aizen and grimmjow fit into that please explain 🤨🥸

okay now back to cleaning until you reply ^^-lavender anonie

kjdhkahda hahahah ok ok... let me defend my answers 🤣.

"I draw the line at manipulation..." ... then why Shigure? XD hahah I know you said s1 Shigure but still a manipulator is a manipulator... it's my guilty pleasure ok, a very sexy manipulative sneaky man: Aizen, Shigure, Light back in the day.... the list goes on 🤭. tbh I hated Aizen when I was reading the manga yeeeeeeeears ago (10+ years) but his smugness and design won me over XD (I never liked Hinamori so... for me was a + 🤣 sorryyyyy). Oh no oh no my friend, you are going where I can't follow youuuu hahah, erwin 10000% i love him to death he will forever be my danchou and OHH LA LAAAAAaaaaa the picture you sent 😍🔥💦😍🔥💦 THANK YOU FOR THATTTT!!! ... but zeke??!?!? I can't, I'm sorry, it's nothing against him but he did the ONE thing I can't tolerate no matter who they are.... if someone hurts my #1 Levi, they are going to my blacklist.

My main two types are: Cold but caring or a crazy ball of energy... but there are a few random exceptions that even I don't understand sometimes lol : Aizen and Grimmjow fall into that random category. BUT I must add I have a very special third type: if the character is voiced by Junichi Suwabe and it's a handsome character (which tbh is 99% of the time) IT GOES IMMEDIATELY TO MY LIST OF FAVESSS!!.... i don't make the rules, I hear that man's voice and I fall to my knees. 🙌. You mentioned Zoro's VA (Japanese or dub?) Do you have favorite seiyuu? I'm curious.

[hollow-triad]
