Wikipedia-Article "Seiyuu"

For the company named Seiyu, see Seiyu Group.

Seiyū (声優, also transliterated seiyuu or simply seiyu) is a Japanese term that roughly equates to a voice actor/actress for radio, television, movies and video games. On television, they are mostly used in anime and commercial advertisements. When speaking of a character in a series translated into English, conventional usage among American fans is to use "seiyū" to refer to the Japanese actor and "voice actor" for the English one.

Seiyū tend to be more well-known than non-Japanese voice actors, and often attract their own appreciators and fans who will watch shows specifically to hear that actor or actress. Seiyū frequently branch into music, often singing the opening or closing themes of shows in which their character stars, or become involved in non-animated side projects such as audio dramas (involving the same characters in new storylines) or image songs (songs sung in character that are not included in the anime but further develop the character). Many have also branched into live action film and television acting as well.

Some fans are divided over if a particular seiyū has "perfected" a certain voice type (e.g. the ditsy schoolgirl, the deep-voiced loner). This can lead to speculation as to whether these seiyū have become typecast.
