Naruto, as I understand it, is one of the most popular animes out there at the moment. Due to a slight curiosity surge, or more likely a caffeinated beverage induced spike, I (somewhat reluctantly) looked into it.
I managed to sumble upon something odd. There is a minor villain that appears in the series that goes by the name of Gato. I managed to crack a smile when I saw what he looked like:
Look familar?
If you dont see it, try to picture his hair a deep purple, take away the mustache, and make his specs slightly more bright red. You should see it.
I was quite humoured at the resemblance, but what really struck me was this:
In the video game Naruto: Ultimate Ninja, the character Gato is voiced by none other than the great Daran Norris, the same brilliant actor that voiced Rodyle in Tales of Symphonia.
I tried to piece this together...if it is one, it is one hell of a coincidence. Oh, Daran, can't escape the look now, can we? :wink:
I'd love to see a video clip of him talking. Mr. Norris' voice worth murdering for. It's always a privilage to hear him speak, especially when they're rather crude remarks, which he does quite well playing Spottswoode in Team America: World Police.
