Kazuhiro Yamaji

Kazuhiro Yamaji voiced Hit in Dragon Ball Super, infusing the Universe Six assassin with a flat, businesslike tone that perfectly matched his emotionless demeanor and methodical killing techniques. Yamaji's understated delivery made Hit's gradual respect for Goku and his moment of hesitation against Jiren feel earned and weighty, proving that quiet performances can carry enormous dramatic weight. The voice work complemented Hit's sleek design and made his time-skipping abilities feel genuinely ominous.

Born in Mie Prefecture in 1954, Yamaji trained at the prestigious Seinenza Theater Company, bringing theatrical depth to his voice work. Beyond Dragon Ball, he is known for voicing Kenny Ackerman in Attack on Titan, Detective Conan characters, and Jack Baker in the Japanese version of Resident Evil 7. His experience in live theater informs his nuanced approach to character work, whether in anime, video games, or dubbed films.
