OK, we're now about to describe Kazuki Yao here... YATTE YARUZE!!!Kazuki Yao (born June 17, 1959) is a Japanese voice actor who loves to voice Jerkass roles in general. Finally got his breakout or so as the Hot-Blooded Shinobu Fujiwara of Dancougar, later the Idiot Hero Judau Ashta in Gundam ZZ, then voiced villains that are quite a bit incompetent. He's also a decent singer.
