Tesshō Genda

Tesshō Genda (玄田 哲章 Genda Tesshō?) is a seiyū, or voice actor who was born in Okayama Prefecture, Japan on May 20, 1948.[1] He is employed by the talent management firm 81 Produce.[1] When he debuted, he used his real name, Mitsuo Yokoi (横居 光雄 Yokoi Mitsuo?).[1] Because he had experience with ballet, he was known by the nickname "Pirouette Genda."[2] Along with such well-known seiyū such as Akio Otsuka, Shigeru Chiba and Koichi Yamadera, he's one of Japan's most prolific voice actors, with 204 roles credited to his name (according to the Anime News Network) as of March 18, 2007.

He is most known for the roles of Umibouzu (City Hunter), Masami Iwaki (Dokaben), Ichimi Araiwa (Cooking Papa), and Suppaman (Dr. Slump and Arale-chan).

In addition to the names above, Genda's name is sometimes romanized in credits as Tessyou Genda, Tetsuaki Genda, and Tetsusyo Genda, though the later two spellings/romanizations of his name are incorrect.
