Daisuke Hirakawa

Daisuke Hirakawa (平川 大輔, Hirakawa Daisuke, born June 4, 1973 in Niigata) is a freelance Japanese voice actor, narrator, and singer. Formerly affiliated with Dojinsha Production and Media Force, some works credit him as Tatsuya Hirai (平井 達矢, Hirai Tatsuya). Hirakawa is sometimes confused for fellow voice actor Daisuke Namikawa due to their similar looking names.

Hirakawa initially considered becoming a nursery school teacher, but decided to take up voice acting since he loved entertaining children. He ended up graduating from Katsuta Voice Actor's Academy and made his official debut in 1997. His singing career later took off in 2009 under the Lantis label.

Known for voicing young and attractive male characters, Hirakawa's roles include Noriaki Kakyoin in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusaders, Kazuya Tanaka in School Rumble, and Saint-Germain in Code: Realize. He is also the dub voice for Orlando Bloom, Tom Hiddleston, and Jang Keun-suk.
