# Michio Hazama

Michio Hazama (羽佐間道夫, Hazama Michio, born October 7, 1933) is a Japanese voice actor and narrator.
He appeared primarily in dubbing and is best known for dubbing over Sylvester Stallone, Roy Scheider and Dean Martin. Note that he said in a 2018 interview that he has dubbed about 280 Hollywood stars so far.
Because of his versatility in playing a variety of roles, he was once called "Hazama in a pinch" by casting directors. Later, the position was transferred to Koichi Yamadera.
As of 2023, he is still active and is the oldest male voice actor in Japan with regular work.
