Daisuke Ono

Daisuke Ono (小野 大輔, born May 4, 1978 in Sakawa, Kochi) is a Japanese voice actor, narrator and vocalist currently affiliated with Mausu Promotion. His family runs a family owned business, and he has one older brother who is a veterinarian. He likes collecting little Buddha statues and soccer.

Ono attended and graduated from Nihon University College of Art with a degree in production of television programming. He tried to enter into the industry after his graduation but didn't attract too many employers. Hoping to remain within the entertainment industry, he pursued radio dramas. There weren't enough productions around to meet demands for new production members, so Ono decided to transition into voice acting.

He applied to Mausu Promotion's Ezaki Production Entrance Program in 2000 and started his career in voice acting in 2002. His debut began with dub overs for Western media. Around the same time, he performed other bit roles in the Japanese entertainment industry. His first major role in anime was Yukito Kunisaki in AIR. Ono has gradually landed major roles. It's because of his career history that his personal motto is: "Betray your expectations. Surpass your predictions."

Since his burst into popularity, Ono has been typecast for "handsome" characters though his roles have started to vary in recent years. He has a large female following since he often voices roles that cater to their market. He has also voiced Sebastian Michaelis in Black Butler, Daisuke Ono in Lucky Star and Jotaro Kujo in the David Production's adaptations of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. Ono is the Japanese dub for Ryan Atwood in The O.C, Finn Hudson in Glee and Steve Jobs in Steve Jobs.
