Shunsuke Tani

Description
Shunsuke Tani is a Japanese voice actor whose work is primarily associated with adult animated content, specifically original video animations (OVAs). He is known for performing under a pseudonym, a common practice for actors in adult entertainment.

The name Shunsuke Tani is an alias used for credits in R18-rated works. The actor behind this name is also publicly known as Yukihiro Misono (御园行洋). Under his primary name, Yukihiro Misono, he has a substantial career in mainstream anime and video games, providing voices for numerous supporting roles across a wide range of popular series and high-profile titles.

As Shunsuke Tani, his credited roles include the King of Balzac in the OVA series Slutty-Princess Diaries and the character Saburō Yokosuka in the series Triple Sex Tribulations. Another notable credit under the Tani name is the role of Professor in the OVA Variable Geo Neo.

Under his primary name, Yukihiro Misono, his career background and major roles provide context for his work. He was born on November 12, 1976, in Chiba Prefecture, Japan. His training included time at the CHK Center, the江崎Production Actor's Training School, and the Voice Theatre Image附属研究所, of which he was a second-term student. He was a member of Voice Theatre Image and the agency RME (formerly Moana Factory). In January 2007, he joined Kenyu Office, from which he left in 2013.

His extensive list of television anime credits includes roles in major long-running series. He played the recurring role of Kurumaru in Naruto and Naruto Shippuden. He appeared as a villager in the original run of the globally popular series Pokemon. In 2008 alone, he had roles in numerous series, including an officer in Kurokami: The Animation, a teacher in Kimikiss pure rouge, the supernormal phenomena countermeasure chief in Jigoku Shoujo, and a soldier and guard in Blue Dragon. He also voiced the character Charobi, also known as the Gatherer of Dispersion, in a late series of Shakugan no Shana.

His later notable roles include expressing a Skill Out member in A Certain Scientific Railgun S and Servente in The Devil Is a Part-Timer! in 2013. More recently, he provided the Japanese voice for the major character Adam Smasher, a powerful cyborg, in both the acclaimed 2022 web anime Cyberpunk: Edgerunners and the 2020 video game Cyberpunk 2077. His game work also includes a voice role in the Japanese localization of Hogwarts Legacy.

Recurring collaborations are difficult to isolate, as his career has largely consisted of single-episode guest roles. However, his performance as Adam Smasher across two different Cyberpunk-related projects represents a notable recurring role with the franchise.

A notable personal achievement, documented in public records, is that he is married to fellow voice actress Megumi Yokoo. Rather than a single award or star-making lead role, his achievement is a steady, long-term career as a working actor, providing crucial supporting voices in some of the most famous anime franchises of the 2000s and 2010s, such as Naruto, One Piece (a series in which he also had a role), and Bleach, before taking on a more prominent character in the internationally popular Cyberpunk: Edgerunners.
