I became a fan of his when I heard him voicing Niizuma Eiji, he did a terrific job performing such a unique and eccentric character and I've loved all his work since then. Wish I could've been there ):

He also kindly answered my question of "What would you like your fans to call you?" in both languages, saying something to the effect of "Nobu de ii n desu. Please call me Nobu." And as everyone's already mentioned, yes, he's very cute! Anime hyper

I primarily know and love his voice work as Okita Souji from Harukanaru Toki no Naka de 5 and only know him in passing as Io from Acchi Kocchi and Kisa from Sekaiichi Hatsukoi. The AX staff said that he was unexpectedly popular to the point they were having trouble managing his wait lines, and I can see why. It was a pleasure to hear a sampling of such a wide variety of roles, and color me even further impressed by his acting skills. He's indeed very talented!

I'm never a fan of the "please say X line" in voice actor panels, but that said, I admit that I would have loved to hear him do the "Let's hospital!" line from Bakuman, if only because it is such amusingly weird line.
