Hirotaka Suzuoki (鈴置 洋孝, Suzuoki Hirotaka, March 6, 1950 – August 6, 2006) was a Japanese actor, voice actor and narrator from Nagoya, Aichi Prefecture, who graduated from Tokyo Keizai University.

His best known roles include Bright Noa in Mobile Suit Gundam, Kojirou Hyuga in Captain Tsubasa, Dragon Shiryū in Saint Seiya, Tenshinhan in Dragon Ball, Starscream in The Transformers, Tatewaki Kuno in Ranma ½, Saitō Hajime in Rurouni Kenshin, Giovanni in Pokémon, and Banjō Haran in Invincible Steel Man Daitarn 3. He was also the official Japanese dub voice for Tom Cruise and John Travolta.

Suzuoki died from lung cancer on August 6, 2006, at the age of 56.[1]

Career

[edit]

Suzuoki's most notable trait was his soft, dignified voice. He was affiliated with Ken Production, making his voice acting debut in 1972 in Devilman.

Suzuoki was friends with fellow voice actor Toru Furuya, who co-starred with him in several series. Suzuoki felt that Furuya's portrayal of Yamcha was closer to his own personality than that of Tenshinhan, whom Suzuoki voiced.[2]

Death

[edit]

Suzuoki was a heavy smoker and drinker. In July 2006, Suzuoki was diagnosed with lung cancer and underwent hospitalization and medical treatment. On the morning of August 6, 2006, his health declined, and Suzuoki died at the age of 56. His ongoing roles were replaced by other voice actors.

His last voice role was as Bright Noa in Mobile Suit Z Gundam III: Love is the Pulse of the Stars, which fans considered to be the best sendoff in Suzuoki's name.
