CATDOLL: Happy birthday to voice actor Daisuke Hirakawa, who turns 42 today!

Hirakawa Daisuke was born on June 4, 1973 in Niigata City, Niigata Prefecture. He is a Gemini, 4175px tall, and has type A blood. He is well-known for his Japanese dubbing of Orlando Bloom. He has a very wide range of voice, and he can handle both the high-pitched voice and the voice of a kind young man with ease.

Daisuke Hirakawa is a graduate of the 11th class of Katsuta Voice Actor Academy.

Voice actors from the same period include Hideki Ogiwara, Katsuyuki Konishi, Masayo Kurata, and Emiko Hagiwara.

Initially affiliated with Doujinsha Production, he later joined Media Force.

His debut work was a stand-in for an unnamed role as a monk in "Seven Years in Tibet" which was played on an airplane.

Because I like playing with the children of relatives and friends, I wanted to be a kindergarten teacher. But one day, I suddenly had the idea of ​​"I want to become a voice actor". The reason is "If I perform in children's programs like animation and cartoons, I can bring happiness to many children. So, although it is also a performance job, I have never considered jobs like actors or stage plays." As for the motivation for becoming a voice actor, Daisuke Hirakawa once said that he was "thinking about it" (from the interview content of "B's LOG" March 2006 issue published by ENTERBRAIN, P.111 "Voice Prince").

Self-confession of incompetence (ヘタレ) was mentioned by chance in Yumiko Kobayashi's radio program "We are all incompetent" and became a hot topic. It seems that they have formed an "incompetent alliance" (the number of people is unknown), and they invited Kondo Takashi to join in the free talk in the words of the servant's love.

The nickname was decided on during the show "New Angelique Abyss ~Welcome to Xiangyang Mansion~". He was called "お兄ちゃん" (brother) by the co-host Daisuke Ono, and the audience followed suit and called him that, so it was decided on.

The range of his voice is quite wide, from the high-pitched voice of Tanaka in "Robot to Kerobie", to the kind-hearted young man like Will in "Pirates of the Caribbean", the hopeless scumbag + loser Makoto Ito in "School Days", the genius handsome man like Naoki Irie in "Mischievous Kiss", and the cold-hearted monster Jiedel in Super Robot Wars Z with a deep voice, etc., and fans expressed "great respect" for his performance.

In the FreeTalk of the CyberPhase stage reading play "风-KAZE-", he played the test of fans' letters, and his attribute was M, so he was nicknamed "Captain of the White Rose" (said by Chihiro Suzuki). He also triggered a "competition" scene among Takuma Terashima, Kenji Nojima, Satoshi Hino, and Chihiro Suzuki, and he hugged Satoshi Hino from behind, which made the fans scream like crazy.

Originally, Hirako's choice should have been S, but she was forced to change it to M amid the sighs of fans in the audience.

His major representative works and roles include Makoto Ito in "School Days", Haruma Kawagoe in "My Little Sister", Naoki Irie in "Itazura na Kiss" (including Taiwanese and Korean TV series), Bellunaru in "Neo Angelique", Candle in "KARNEVAL Carnival", Rei Ryugasaki in "Free!", Rei Sakamaki in "Diabolik Lovers", Momotaro in "Hinoki no Ryoutsu", Noriaki Kakyoin in "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure", etc.
