Chō

Best known by his current Stage Name of Chō (チョー), this prolific seiyuu was born Shigeru Nagashima on December 15, 1957. Later, when he started his career, he became known as Yuichi Nagashima, and it wasn't until 2006 that he changed to his current name, in honor of his character in Tanken Boku no Machi.
