What's After the Movie
Mitsuo Iwata
Mitsuo Iwata (born July 31, 1967 in Tokorozawa, Saitama, Japan) is a celebrated Japanese actor, voice actor, and singer whose career has spanned more than four decades, beginning in 1977 and continuing to the present day. Renowned for his versatile vocal range and dynamic performances, Iwata first garnered widespread attention as the voice of Kaneda in the groundbreaking 1988 anime film Akira, a role that cemented his status in the industry and showcased his ability to embody iconic characters. Over the years he has delivered memorable performances in numerous television series, including Golden Boy where his portrayal of Kintaro Oe earned critical praise for the painstaking preparation that left his voice hoarse, and Outlanders as Tetsuya Wakatsuki, a role highlighted by Mania.com as exemplary seiyuu work. His extensive filmography also features roles such as Emporio Ivankov (second voice) in One Piece, Orbot across multiple Sonic titles, and Toyo in Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba. In addition to animation, Iwata has contributed his voice to a wide array of video games, including Kingdom Hearts (Peter Pan) and the King of Fighters series (Syo Kirishima), demonstrating a breadth that bridges both Eastern and Western media. The 7th Seiyu Awards honored him with the Best Personality award in 2013, reflecting his charismatic presence both on‑air and in fan interactions. Affiliated originally with Office Osawa and Across Entertainment, he is now represented by Aoni Production, continuing to expand his repertoire. His personal life includes a marriage to fellow voice actress Rikako Aikawa (1992‑2025) and the birth of their child, further grounding his legacy within both professional and familial circles.
