Ryotaro Okiayu

Ryotaro Okiayu (置鮎 龍太郎, Okiayu Ryōtarō, born November 17, 1969 in Kitakyushu, Fukuoka Prefecture) is a Japanese voice actor affiliated with Aoni Production. His family name is difficult to pronounce, leading to nicknames like "Ryo-chan", "Okkie", and "Chikiko". Okiayu married Nao Nagasawa and later married Ai Maeda. Named after historical figure Ryōma Sakamoto, he claims to be "a little technologically illiterate" with the times. His father worked in the film industry, and he and his older sister enjoyed anime and audio dramas. Despite lacking drawing talent, Okiayu worked to become a voice actor during his first year in high school. After graduating, he auditioned for Aoni Osaka Jyuku and was transferred to Aoni Production's Kamigyoku agency for his professional debut as a radio narrator.

Most people know him better by his typecast "dark and cold" voice for characters in the anime and video game industry, such as his roles for Byakuya Kuchiki in Bleach, Tezuka Kunimitsu in Prince of Tennis, Gemini Saga/Sea Dragon Kanon/Gemini Kanon in Saint Seiya, and Aoyama in Clean Freak! Aoyama kun. Occasionally he will use his lighter, natural voice to act out cheerful or younger characters. He is a popular voice actor with the female audience, and he has participated in several drama CDs catering to them.

Okiayu has said to have enjoyed acting as Motochika the most out of his Warriors roles and commented to have liked his character's weapon and cool personality. For his role as Sima Shi, he states he can't relate to him personally since his character is a tense, important figure. However, he tried his best for his position and hopes to have performed Sima Shi correctly. He intends to do his best to honor the late Tsuyoshi Takishita while acting as Sima Yi.
