Masato Yamanouchi (山内 雅人, Yamanouchi Masato, April 3, 1929, Tokyo – April 7, 2003, Tokyo) was a Japanese voice actor. Over the course of his 58-year career, he was reportedly in more than 20,000 works and dubbed more than 3,000 films. He voiced Grandpa in Future Boy Conan and Dornkirk in The Vision of Escaflowne,[1][2][3] and dubbed films for actors including Tyrone Power and Montgomery Clift.[citation needed]

Early life and education

[edit]

Yamanouchi was born Mikio Yamauchi (山内 幹雄) on April 3, 1929 in Tokyo.[1] He attended Shiba Junior High School,[citation needed] Waseda University School of Law, and Kamakura Academia's theatre program.[1] While at Waseda, he founded Jiyu Butai, a theatre troupe.[citation needed]

Career

[edit]

In 1945, Yamanouchi joined the NHK Tokyo Broadcasting Company, where he hosted a radio show and debuted as a voice actor in Fuefuki Dōji as Kirino Kojiro.[2][1] His early training for voice roles centered on dramatic reading, which he initially performed in coffee shops.[1][4] In 1949, he and linguist Haruhiko Kindaichi started the Broadcast Expression Education Center, where they worked on preserving the Edo language[dubious – discuss][citation needed]. They began accepting students for dramatic reading, making them the first recitation school in Japan.[5][6][1][4] The center was supported by the NHK's Cultural Fund. After leaving NHK in 1977, Yamanouchi worked for K Production, then became a freelancer.[citation needed]

In 1975, he received the NHK Broadcasting Operation Director's Award and the Arts Festival Award for Excellence in the drama category.[1]

Death

[edit]

Yamanouchi died on April 7, 2003 in Meguro, the same Tokyo ward in which he was born, due to complications from lung cancer.[1][2][6] He was survived by his widow, Yasuko.[6]
