From ANN –
Hidekatsu Shibata , an anime voice actor (seiyū) famous for playing Mazinger Z ‘s Baron Ashura, Mobile Suit Gundam ‘s Degwin Zabi, and Fullmetal Alchemist ‘s King Bradley, recalled Fukuda as a former classmate growing up. “I felt he was shy and didn’t express his inner feelings. […] When the conversation turned to government or literature though, he would start talking excitedly.”
Ray’s take: So, instead of a manga and anime Otaku, we’ll have an actual literature (Mike would be proud) and politics (Jeremy would be proud) Otaku running Japan. Oh well, I cheered for Aso sama…
