## Akira Ishida

**Akira Ishida** (石田 彰 *Ishida Akira*) is a Japanese voice actor, and was affiliated with Mausu Promotion from 1988 until March 2009, when he moved to Gerbera Peerless. He is best known for his role as Athrun Zala in *Gundam Seed Destiny* and Gaara in *Naruto*.

He is the Japanese voice of **Byakuya Togami** in *Danganronpa* series. Ishida also voices the **Ultimate Imposter** as he impersonates the real Byakuya. In the English dub, both Byakuya and his impersonator's voice are provided by Jason Wishnov (in games only) and Josh Grelle (anime series). In the German dub, Byakuya's voice is provided by Amadeus Strobl.

Ishida shares the same name as Akira Ishida (石田 明), who plays Yasuhiro Hagakure in Danganronpa: Kibō no Gakuen to Zetsubō no Kōkōsei THE STAGE (2014), though their names differ by one kanji.
