Yamaguchi's voice has also been heard in dozens of other anime movies and series of the last twenty years, such as Captain Tsubasa, Devil Hunter Yohko, Kiki's Delivery Service, Here Is Greenwood, Paradise Kiss, and The Twelve Kingdoms. Outside anime, he is the Japanese voice actor for Kyle in South Park and for Bugs Bunny.
