Lilia’s VA Midorikawa has voiced many characters in iconic series such as Gundam Wing’s Heero Yuy in a performance that inspired Shimazaki Nobunaga—the VA of Lilia’s adopted son, Silver—to go into voice acting as well. (interview source)
In interviews Midorikawa has explained that he first formed an interest in voice acting in elementary school after watching the anime “Mobile Suit Gundam” and as a child he decided to, one day, join the same agency as the VA of the main character after reading about the company in a voice acting magazine. That is now his current agency, Aoni Production.
As the eldest son in his family Midorikawa was originally intended to take over the family pharmacy, but he defied his parents in order to pursue his dream of voice acting. (interview source)
Midorikawa made his voice acting debut in 1988 and has since had roles in over 300 anime series and OVA and 400 video games.
He appears as a guest in episode 5 of Twisted Radio Station, brings out a bag full of Twst-related merchandise (including a magical pen that he says he won in a raffle) and shows off his Diasomnia socks during the recording (much to Sebek’s VA Ishiya Haruki’s delight).
