Funimation voice actor notable for Kizaru in One Piece, which is a supporting role. And that's about it. WP:TOOSOON. Does not meet WP:ENT or WP:GNG. Not a regular on ANN or the Anime conventions circuit. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 05:54, 19 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Only minor roles, and our notability guideline for actors requires significant roles in multiple notable productions. There is also a lack of coverage in web/book sources to meet the general notability guideline. His ANN encylopedia entry notes that he won the "Staff Choice Award for Breakthrough Voice Actor of the Year at 3rd Annual BTVA Anime Dub Awards" but I don't think the award is major enough for notability to hinge on it. Based on all of that I'd agree that its WP:TOOSOON. Opencooper (talk) 01:09, 20 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Much as I like BTVA, their awards are above the ones given by random anime websites as the VA's really do list them among their career accomplishments. But they're not quite the Annie Awards or Seiyu Awards in prestige. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 23:08, 21 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
