Radiant Silvergun - Voice Actors?

I was watching the opening for the game, and thought I recognized one of the VA's. I'm 95% sure its the person in question, but Radiant Silvergun isn't listed in his filmography credits.

The character I'm referring to is the guy with brown hair and red shades (either Buster or Gai). It can be watched here.

Anyone know where to find the credited voice actors, or if you own the game, could you maybe take a look in the booklet? A screenshot or picture would help also. Thanks.

I checked the instruction booklet for the Saturn version, and I didn't see a credits section there (at least not one I could read). IIRC the credits are all listed in English at the end of the game, so someone could credit-feed through it and write the VAs down.

I think this page lists them. It's also a complete story walkthrough, so beware spoilers. CTRL+F "Voice Cast:" http://www.emuxhaven.net/~silver/Main%20Story.html

Thank you Bill. It was in fact the Japanese voice actor I had surmised. For anyone remotely interested, the voice actor for Gai is Nobutoshi Hayashi (the credit name he uses today is Nobutoshi Canna).

He also voices the characters Guts (Berserk), Kabuto (Naruto), Mido Ban (Getbackers), among others.

It's puzzling why Anime News Network or even IMDB does not list this credit.

Again...a big thank you for the quick response.

No problem! ^^ It's cool to know he voiced Guts as well. I was surprised at how many VAs from the Fist of the North Star / Hokuto no Ken anime had also worked in original games, so it's interesting to see my other favourite series have a similar connection.

Yeah...its always great to discover such connections.

In any event, I went through the trouble of creating an account at ANN (Anime News Network) and adding Canna's credit for the game. It usually never fails me when looking for videogame credits. They certainly need to add a search function whereby you can search for game credits only.

Surprisingly, IMDB does not have Radiant Silvergun listed in their database. In which case you can't credit an actor for any media not in the database already. I was working on adding R.S. to it, as I'd need to do that first before crediting Canna. But it's kinda of a pain...I'll leave it to someone who loves R.S. enough to add it to IMDB along with a summary first.
