Masakazu Morita is a seiyū and actor born on October 21, 1972, in Tokyo, Japan. He currently works for Aoni Production. He is also the host of the radio show, Bleach B-Station.His name is sometimes mistranslated as Seiichi Morita (ironically, one of Morita’s characters, Ichigo, has a habit of mistranslating written names). He won “Best Rookie Actor” in the Seiyū Awards for his role as Ichigo Kurosaki.
The primary protagonist of Bleach, orange haired high school junior Ichigo Kurosaki is forced to become a substitute shinigami after unwittingly absorbing most of Rukia’s powers. His cynical nature at first makes him ill-disposed towards the duty, but with the passage of time he comes to accept and welcome it, recognizing that even if he is not able to save everyone, he can at least use his skills to protect those close to him. |
