Hitoshi Nakata (中田 均志 Nakata Hitoshi, born April 22, 1954), better known by his screen name Jōji Nakata (中田 譲治 Nakata Jōji), is a Japanese voice actor who is affiliated with the Office Osawa agency, and is most well known as the voices of Giroro (Sgt. Frog), Alucard (Hellsing and Hellsing Ultimate OVAs), Hody Jones (One Piece), Roy Revant (Solty Rei), the Count of Monte Cristo (Gankutsuou: The Count of Monte Cristo), Kirei Kotomine (Fate/stay night and its prequel, Fate/Zero), Amshel Goldsmith (Blood+), Baki (Naruto), Sol Badguy in Guilty Gear XX Accent Core & Guilty Gear 2: Overture, Albert Wesker in Resident Evil, and Kazuya Mishima from Tekken 1 to Tekken Tag Tournament and Diethard Reid in Code Geass and its sequel, Code Geass Lelouch of Rebellion R2.

Besides lending his voice to various characters in anime, drama CDs, video games, dubbed movies, Nakata has also narrated on many anime, commercials, and TV shows such as Kamen Rider OOO.

Biography
Nakata attended Toho Gakuen College of Drama and Music. He advanced to voice acting upon voice actor Michiko Nomura's recommendation and began his career in the 1990s. Nakata has a deep and mature voice, usually being cast as the proud intellectual antihero (Alucard of Hellsing) or antivillain (the Count of Monte Cristo of Gankutsuou: The Count of Monte Cristo and Folken Fanel of The Vision of Escaflowne). His serious voice juxtaposed well with humor; thus, his characters often have a humorous or even goofy side as seen in Corporal Giroro in Sgt. Frog, the leader of Ton-Men, Red Pig Akaburiburi in Crayon Shin-chan, the transsexual woman, Momoko in Shangri-La, and Tetsuji Chūma in Sket Dance. Besides voicing the villain, Hody Jones in One Piece, Nakata has also voiced three major villain characters for Type-Moon works: Nrvnsqr Chaos in Melty Blood, Kirei Kotomine in Fate/stay night and Fate/Zero, and Souren Araya in Kara no Kyoukai/Garden of Sinners.
