was a Japanese actor who specialized in voice acting. He was known for voicing Walter C. Dornez in Hellsing, Gargoyle in Nadia: The Secret of Blue Water, Kōzō Fuyutsuki in Neon Genesis Evangelion, Valkenhayn R. Hellsing in Blazblue, and Tippy in Is the Order a Rabbit?.

Career

In 1957, he entered the Haiyuza theatrical training school; that same year, he joined a theater troupe fellowship, and in 1962, he formed Gekidan Theatre Company and Gekidan Dramahouse. Most of Kiyokawa's voice roles were that of older men. He stated that the reason he did voice acting was "[just] to make money."

Together, he and Reiko Yamada established the "Dramahouse Voice Actor School D.D.", where he was an instructor.

He died of pneumonia on August 17, 2022, at age 87.

Personality and characteristics

He was considered to be a baritone. Kiyokawa also played the role of Ultraman King in the Ultraman franchise, starting with Ultraman Leo.

Although Kiyokawa played many villains, he described his own voice was "soft", stating "I just can't turn into a real villain". In addition, when he voiced Dr. Mikamura in Mobile Fight G Gundam, director Yasuhiro Imagawa, after hearing Kiyokawa's voice, said, "I just can't make him a bad guy," and eventually changed Dr. Mikamura, who was originally set up as a bad guy, to a good guy.
