Shinichiro Ohta
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Shinichiro Ohta (太田 真一郎 Ōta Shin'ichirō?) (born March 20, 1971, Kanagawa, Japan) is a Japanese seiyū and television announcer noted primarily in the West for his appearance as the kitchen reporter in Iron Chef, where he was known for his rapid-fire announcing style. On the English language version of Iron Chef, which aired on Food Network, Ohta's dialogue is dubbed by American voice actor Jeff Manning. Ohta's character is perhaps best known for his line, "Fukui-san?" (Mr. Fukui), which he would say several times per episode, when interrupting Kenji Fukui's commentary with a report from the field. In the English dubbed version, this line was kept in Japanese; because it is said so fast, new viewers often initially think Ohta is saying "Squeeze-on" instead of "Fukui-san." His talent agency is Aoni Production.
