Tomokazu Seki (関 智一, Seki Tomokazu, born September 8, 1972 in Koto, Tokyo) is a Japanese voice actor, narrator, and actor who is currently affiliated with Atomic Monkey and chairman of the theatrical group Herohero Q Company. He is known for his festive personality and loves raunchy but light-hearted sexual jokes. Seki admits to feeling embarrassed around women during his youth and becoming robotic around them. Despite this, he continues to be a fun-loving bachelor.
During high school, Seki took acting classes and talked to veteran teachers and actors. His performances initially failed to move his audience, but after a woman from the theatrical group criticized his performance, he realized that his reaction was the real emotion he needed. Since then, his talents have blossomed, and he has been one of the most prolific artists in the industry.
After his breakout role as Domon Kasshu in Mobile Fighter G Gundam, Seki became a popular voice for several heroes and young characters. He dabbles into a variety of genres to play the three basic emotions needed for theatrical drama with several characters. When he said he liked speaking jidaigeki jargon, Seki gained a brief burst of samurai roles under his belt. A few of his voice roles include Ezio Auditore da Firenze in the Japanese dub for the Assassin's Creed series, Keisuke Takahashi in Initial D series between animation and mostly arcade game series, Arcade Stage, Manji in Blade of the Immortal (which he would later direct and star in the stage play), and Yotaro/Yuurakutei Sukeroku in Showa Genroku Rakugo Shinju.
During the Neoromance events, Seki always professes his profound respect for Kazuhiko Inoue and addresses him as "Inoue-senpai". He thanks the fans for showing their appreciation for the actors during the live shows.
