Noriaki Sugiyama as Ishida Uryuu (Bleach)

Bleach is a popular anime based on a manga by a Japanese artist Kubo Tite. It is a story about a fifteen year old Kurosaki Ichigo who is given the powers of a Death God by an injured Death God Rukia, and must act as her substitute by slaying evil spirits called Hollows. He discovers soon that he isn't the only one with special powers, however, and there's also Soul Society who is intent on punishing Rukia for her crime of transferring Death God powers to a human...

It seems Shirou himself is going to have to join the battle, however unwillingly...

    He's definitely my favourite voice actor <3 I love most of his characters - Sasuke Uchiha, England, and Uryuu Ishida are just a few of my favourites! I think we can all agree that he has a lovely, special voice~

    I love to listen to him sing, and Non-tan himself seems to be a very nice person as well ^^ So shy, so cute <3

    Love his voice. Makes me...so...Ah nevermind.
    No matter what kinda character he plays, his voice will brighten the character up, like Sasuke Uchiha from Naruto. At first I thought he was a boring character in the Naruto English Dub, then, When I went to some website to watch Naruto Japanese Dub. I found out he's a hot yet nice sounding guy! Arigato, Noriaki Sugiyama, for having such a nice voice to fall in love with you!! KYAAAA~!!!

    Noriaki Sugiyama was confirmed safe and well. Don't listen to rumors if you see people saying on Twitter that he's dead.

    I think almost everyone have to admit that his voice is incredible and beautiful, even if you don't like his roles such as Sasuke. I feel indifferent to Sasuke and don't fangirling any characters, but i love to listen to his voice, bc it's really unique and sexy. Everyone knows him as Ishida or Sasuke (who are both alike), but let's not forget his other different roles such as in Code Geass, where he has voiced a quirky guy (don't remember his name) or the rabbit. He sounds so different and i didn't recognize his voice until i looked it up. That proves, that he has potential to be a great VA, though he hasn't yet been given much chance and is pretty new in the Voice Acting business. I also like the guy behind this voice, he is so shy, which is cute, and seems such a nice guy, that i really want to meet him once. He's a great singer too. Wish him the best! *thumps up*

    But it's sad that it's not said that Noriaki figures also as England's voice from Hetalia Axis Powers >3<

    (Sorry for my bad English... I'm French and still learning English)

    I'l' admit it. He's got a very nice voice, and is very popular. However I don't like the image the media are trying to project with angsty teenage boys. His voice acting almost suggests how teenage boys should have deep sexy voices.

    Hell would have frozen over if I meet a 12 year old with like Sasuke's voice.

    And England and Sasuke sound almost exactly the same. And I love England, however I would have thought that England would have had a more feminine voice. Well he is a bishie.
