Kōki Uchiyama

Ventus from Kingdom Hearts

Ventus (voiced in Japanese by Kōki Uchiyama and in English by Jesse McCartney) is one of the main characters in Birth by Sleep, and a prominent character in a large amount of the other titles in the Kingdom Hearts video game franchise.

He is one of the characters that actually has their origins even earlier in the timeline, coming from the time of the KHUX characters instead of just BBS like we originally thought. He is also part of the trio of wielders that trained under Master Eraqus, and is the body that Vanitas was pulled from.

Ven has spiked up blonde hair, similar in style to Roxas, and vibrant blue eyes. He wears a multilayered outfit, with a black sleeveless turtleneck, a striped undervest, a split monochromatic cropped short sleeve jacket worn with a black x strap clasped by a silver version of the wielder emblem, a metallic armor patch on his shoulder that forms into the keyblade armor, and an inverted version of Roxas’ wristband. He also has segmented gold and blue waist armor over top of multitoned cuffed capri pants, and armored shoes.

Toge Inumaki from Jujutsu Kaisen

Toge (voiced in Japanese by Koki Uchiyama and in English by Xander Mobus) is one of the secondary main characters in the anime/manga Jujutsu Kaisen.

He is one of the second-year students at Jujutsu High, along with Yuta, Maki, and Panda, as well as being a semi-grade 1 sorcerer. He’s shifted his way of speaking into using food terms, as his abilities are tied into using his voice as a weapon, and it’s the only way he can guarantee no one gets unnecessarily hurt.

Toge has greyish-blonde hair, worn in a short cropped style, and light lavender eyes. When we do see his mouth, you can see the marks indicating the cursed speech on the sides. He wears a high-collard version of the school’s uniform shirt in dark blue, with an openable front piece that let’s him use his speech ability. He wears a pair of capris in the same matching color, long black socks, and white ankle boots with gold detailing on the sole.

Soul Evans from Soul Eater

Soul (voiced in Japanese by Kōki Uchiyama and in English by Micah Solusod), is the titular character of the anime/manga Soul Eater.

He generally shares the main character spot with his meister, Maka, who he cares deeply for despite the two of them nearly constantly bickering with each other. Soul is a scythe-based weapon, capable of transforming a singular limb, or his entire body, into a blade for Maka to wield.

Soul has white, spiky hair, often worn up with a patched headband, bright red eyes, and a mouthful of extremely sharp teeth. His early series outfit consists of a black and golden yellow jacket with soul emblems on it, burgundy pants, and chunky shoes in the same color and style as his jacket.

Yuri Plisetsky from Yuri on Ice

Yuri (voiced in Japanese by Kōki Uchiyama and English by Micah Solusod) is one of the secondary main characters in the anime Yuri on Ice.

He shares the same first name as the main character, Yuri Katsuki, and is occasionally nicknamed Yurio, much to his displeasure. He is one of the younger competing skaters, and is highly combative in terms of winning.

Yuri has chin length light blonde hair that he usually wears mostly covering his face, and has tealy-green eyes. For this outfit, he wears a black shirt, black skinny jeans, black and red patterned shoes (you may need to paint the shoes), and a multicolored jacket with Russia written on the front, denoting his nationality.

Rei Suwa from Buddy Daddies

Rei (voiced in Japanese by Koki Uchiyama and in English by David Matranga) is one of the main characters in the anime Buddy Daddies.

He works as an assassin with his partner Kazuki, but spends most of the rest of his time playing video games and learning how to look after their recently acquired daughter, Miri.

Rei has shaggy black hair, usually worn in a high ponytail with shaved sides when he’s on a job and down when he’s home, and his eyes are a deep almost black grey. He dresses in a less layered way than Kazuki, with a black t-shirt, a blue biker jacket, black-blue jeans, and black boots.

Akira Fudo from Devilman Crybaby

Akira Fudo (voiced by Koki Uchiyama in Japanese, and Griffin Burns in English) is one of the central main characters of the Netflix adaption of Devilman Crybaby, along with Ryo Asuka.

He starts the series off in a completely different form than this one, originally quite small and meek, but it’s this taller and more brazen form that he spends most of the series in, after going with Ryo to a club that leads to quite a transformative experience.

In this form, Akira has noticeably sharper features, his hair is darker and way more spikey and messy, and his eyes look like they’re constantly lined.
He typically wears a grey or black shirt, usually with a black zip up bikers jacket over top, black skinny jeans, and blue shoes with lighter blue laces.

Ruth from The Ancient Magus Bride

Ruth from The Ancient Magus’ Bride

Ruth (voiced by Austin Tindle / Kōki Uchiyama) is the shapeshifting familiar of young Chise Hatori, the titular Ancient Magus’ Bride. Whether he’s in his waffle-loving human form or a big black dog, he’s so loyal and ever so kind. Prior to meeting Chise and her magic mentor, Elias, Ruth was the pet dog of a young woman named Isabelle, and known to her as Ulysse/Yurishi. Loyal to a fault, he stayed by Isabelle’s grave after she died suddenly, watching over her in hopes that she’d once again wake up. In his desperation, he became a fae spirit whose presence overcame the graveyard until Chise was able to reason with him. Now that he’s Chise’s familiar, he presents and dresses as a brooding young man close in age with his young mistress.
