I believe it is August 25 in Japan, soooooooooo it's time for another voice actor birthday! Someone who's influential to me when it comes to the Japanese voice overs. Or rather, he's one of my first favorites.
アハハハハ、ィいやったあああ!! (Ahahahaha! YATTA!)
檜山修之, 御誕生日おめでとうございます!
Happy birthday to
Nobuyuki Hiyama! The Wiki article explains plenty.
Fourty-four years young, huh?
Here's a simple breakdown. Sorry, it's in Spanish (VIDEO TRIBUTE):

The above character pictured is Hiei from YuYu Hakusho, probably Hiyama's first main/regular character, and Link from "Legend of Zelda". His first main, real main, was probably Maito Senpuji of "Might Gaine".
I think there are too many videos on Hiyama's appearances in which I could show, ESPECIALLY the crazy ones on NicoDouga.
Let's try Gundam, TvsC, and ONE PIECE!
I do want to show Mr. 3 from ONE PIECE...

Buggy is voiced by veteran
Chiba Shigeru (Who is also..Kefka).
Shiro Amada of GUNDAM 08th MS Team. Say it with me: 倍返しだあああああ!! (Bai! gae shida!!!!)

BATSU (ichimonji) of Rival Schools. He also appears in Capcom vs Tatsunoko. His signature is "Kiaidan"!

OK. I think that's enough
I believe, at one point, I had a photo of Hiyama's character VAL (of Akujushin) on my blog's header or as an icon.
Hiyama's in a lot of games, especially
Otome games where he voices a lot of pretty men. Also, he appears in BL and hentai too, which...I don't completely agree with. Or maybe it's just the love scenes.
Yeah, him and love scenes...slightly strange.
He's going to re-appear as the
butler Kojurro Takeda (武田 小十郎) in the upcoming
"MAJOKOI S" game.

Since it's August, I forgot to mention
Hiroaki Hirata's on here *><* Urgh. But, I mentioned his and
Urara Takano's
birthday on Twitter.
Speaking of Hirata, "TIGER & BUNNY" seems to be doing well!
