Fullmetal Alchemist Role

Kakihara voices Kain Fuery, the bespectacled communications officer serving under Colonel Roy Mustang in Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood. Fuery mainly operates the radio room and handles technical support for Mustang's unit, providing a quieter counterpoint to more combat-focused subordinates like Jean Havoc and Riza Hawkeye. The role is a supporting one within the large ensemble cast surrounding the Elric brothers, and it marked one of Kakihara's earlier anime credits before he became known for louder, headline characters. His voice work in the franchise predates the breakout success that later defined his career.
