Biography[]

He voiced Garlic Jr. in Dragon Ball Z: Dead Zone, but did not voice him in the filler Garlic Jr. Saga of Dragon Ball Z, not being able to due to schedule conflicts. Fellow actor and friend Shigeru Chiba replaced him in the arc and has voiced the character ever since.

From 1977 to 1986, he was a member of the Japanese band SLAPSTICK (スラップスティック), on bass, with the other voice actors Toshio Furukawa (rhythm guitar), Yūji Mitsuya (keyboards; replaced by Hirotaka Suzuoki in 1984), Tōru Furuya (drums), and Kazuyuki Sogabe (lead guitar).
