1/3 Rare interview with Satoshi Hashimoto - 橋本さとし, the voice of Terry Bogard, from Neo Geo Freak Vol. 5 (Sept. 1995).
Hashimoto explains how Fatal Fury 2 became his first real voice-recording role, why his kickboxing experience helped him perform Terry’s fighting cries, and why he believes a voice actor’s job is to “sell dreams through the voice.”
He also talks about Terry’s hidden sensitivity, his own obsession with American rock and Harley-Davidson motorcycles, and why he wants fans to feel that the man behind the voice is as close to Terry Bogard as possible.
HIGHLIGHTS
_ Satoshi Hashimoto had been playing Terry Bogard since Fatal Fury 2, succeeding the original voice performer.
_ Terry was actually Hashimoto’s first proper voice-recording role.
_ Hashimoto primarily considered himself a stage actor rather than a professional voice actor, and belonged to Gekidan Shinkansen.
_ He refused to imitate Terry’s previous performer. His philosophy was simply to become Terry and perform the role with everything he had.
_ Hashimoto had previous voice experience as an FM Osaka DJ, as well as through commercials and radio drama narration.
_ He viewed voice acting as another expressive “drawer” available to an actor and believed it could strengthen his stage acting.
_ His biggest realization was that voice acting is extremely difficult because the voice is the performer’s only means of expression.
_ Hashimoto practiced kickboxing, which gave him a practical understanding of what kinds of cries naturally accompany punches, kicks, movement and physical impact.
_ Despite that experience, Terry’s extremely high energy made recording physically demanding: Hashimoto says his throat continued burning even after sessions ended.
_ He felt Terry was particularly easy for him to portray because the character resembled his own personality.
_ Hashimoto describes Terry as outwardly cool, loud and unmistakably “American,” but also naïve, sensitive, warm-hearted and deeply attached to human relationships.
_ He interprets Terry’s cheerful, flamboyant behavior as possibly a form of camouflage hiding a much more sensitive personality underneath.
_ Hashimoto had been fascinated by America since childhood, beginning with KISS and the Eagles. By 1995, that fascination had developed into a major passion for Harley-Davidson motorcycles.
_ He describes riding a Harley as experiencing the boundary between life and death and says that its pulse feels almost like the beating of his own heart.
_ Hashimoto did not want fans to hear Terry’s voice and then be disappointed when they saw the performer behind it.
_ This leads to his central philosophy: “A voice actor’s job is to sell dreams through the voice.”
_ He wanted to preserve Terry’s image for fans and become as close to Terry as he possibly could, both vocally and personally.
_ The interview ends with Hashimoto saying he was genuinely grateful for Terry because the character had brought new people and new encounters into his life.
