I still remember Shikamaru’s dialogue, “What a drag”, every time he feels dragged into some or other situation.

The same dialogue in Japanese sounded amazing when the same dialogue was delivered by Shikamaru saying “Me N Duk Se E”, meaning “what a drag”. It was one of my favorite Shikamaru dialogues from the Naruto anime.

The sad part for him was he didn’t have many supporters at the beginning of his career. Hence, he had a tough start on his way to voice-rolling.

Junichi Suwabe, the Japanese voice-over artist, played many roles – Daiki (from Kuroko No Basket) is a great example.

Doing the voice role of a calm and composed basketball player is not easy, but the way Junichi Suwabe smoothly did it. I can’t help but admire him for it.

Moreover, his voice role abilities are not limited to a single style because the next voice acting role that he played was of Jasgerjaquez; his voice sounded unique. I still wonder how he pulled it off.
