The voice actor Takuo Kawamura, born on July 4, 1975, in Saitama Prefecture, is a Japanese talent affiliated with the agency Bell Production. His path to voice acting was unconventional, originating from his enthusiasm as a listener of the TBS radio program Kosakin DE Wao! His participation in the show, particularly his skill at impersonations, eventually led to his debut in the industry.

Kawamura has built a extensive and varied career since his debut in the early 2000s, providing voices for a wide array of characters across anime, video games, and foreign film dubs. He is often recognized for supporting and recurring roles in numerous popular series.

He also voiced Stone in Demonbane, Noppe in Fortune Dogs, and Hachisuke Takamizo in Happiness!. His career includes long-running contributions to major franchises, with guest or recurring roles in titles such as Naruto (as Shigure and later Iwaji), Fullmetal Alchemist, Detective Conan, and Nintama Rantaro (as Iba Tōru and Yamamoto Jinnai).

Beyond anime, Kawamura has an extensive portfolio in video games. He is notably the voice of Maxim Kischin in Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance and has had recurring roles in the Puyo Puyo Fever series as the characters Tarutaru and Hohow Bird. His other game credits include the role of尼子晴久 in Sengoku BASARA 3 and Guen in Togainu no Chi. His work also encompasses foreign language dubbing for films and television series, such as providing the Japanese voice for Orlando Bloom's character in Black Hawk Down and for a character in District 9.

Throughout his career, Kawamura has been a part of the Production Baobab agency for fourteen years before moving to his current agency, Bell Production, in September 2013. His career reflects a steady and consistent presence in the voice acting industry, contributing to a wide range of media with character roles that support and enrich the fictional worlds they inhabit.
