Lucky Canada! He's one of my favorites. Too bad I live thousands of miles from there. No chance for me to drive up. :/

He's still one of the better voice actors out there.

I've got tons of his stuff from the 1990s on DVD.
Of course, most of us remember him from Ranma 1/2 and Inu Yasha but he also did the lead (Daisuke) in Giant Robo, too. He played the young cleric (can't remember the character name) in the original Record of Lodoss War, too.
I think he's done a role in about every major franchise except Gundam and Macross. (Hayashibara, his "female half," has done roles in those franchises.)

Nice to see North America, Canada at least, hasn't scared him away!

Vancouver's a cool place to visit, too. I'm sure it's changed since I visited about 20 years ago. It was one of the few big cities that actually felt RELAXING and HOSPITABLE to me. I can't think of another big city where I DIDN'T get tense and irritated!

^He was in G Gundam.

Vancouver is pretty close to Japan from the rest of the continent so I'm sure it's easier to get some guests there. Looks like they screwed up Conan and Kudo though.

I should book a flight to Vancouver since I live all the way in Ottawa (its region mainly).

Kappei Yamaguchi is of course one of my all-time favorite voice over artists in Japan next to Megumi Hayashibara and Kouichi Yamadera.
