History

He was the manager of the Tagajō Senior High School basketball team before he made a name for himself. His voice-acting debut was the OVA "Megazone 23" as the motorcycle-riding Shinji Nakagawa,{cite web|url=http://info.movies.yahoo.co.jp/detail/typs/id119822/|title=山寺宏一|publisher=Yahoo!映画|accessdate=2008-02-23] while his television debut was the anime "Bosco Adventure" as the cowardly Otter. Yamadera's break-out role as a seiyū was the anime "Ranma ½", in which he played the dual role of Hibiki Ryōga and the Jusenkyō Guide. In 1991, Yamadera joined forces with Toshihiko Seki and Noriko Hidaka to form the acting unit nihongo|Banana Fritters|バナナフリッターズ|Banana Furittāsu, which disbanded in 1995. On the October of 1997, Yamadera became a host on the TV Tokyo children's variety show "Oha Suta". Yamadera married fellow seiyū Mika Kanai in 1994 and they stayed married for twelve years until divorcing on the spring of 2006 (though the divorce wasn't made public until late 2007).cite web|url=http://www.zakzak.co.jp/gei/2007_12/g2007121703.html|title=かないみか、山寺宏一との離婚ノーコメント|publisher=ZakZak|date=2007-12-17|accessdate=2008-02-23] cite web|url=http://www.daily.co.jp/gossip/2007/12/15/0000771318.shtml|title=山寺宏一ドッキリ…離婚？「大丈夫」|publisher=Daily Sports Online|date=2007-12-15|accessdate=2008-02-23] Kanai is said to have kept their 4-story house, while Yamadera lives in an apartment in Tokyo.

Career

*He has appeared in numerous anime alongside Megumi Hayashibara, who had roles in "Neon Genesis Evangelion" (Rei Ayanami, Yui Ikari), "Wataru" (Himiko Shinobibe), "Ranma ½" (Ranma Saotome (female)), "Donkey Kong Country" (Diddy Kong), and "Cowboy Bebop" (Faye Valentine).
*He has appeared in every "Pokémon" film thus far, playing a different role each time. However, he rarely stars in the television series itself. Ironically, Megumi Hayashibara has also appeared in every Pokemon movie as Musashi (Jessie).
*He, alongside dancer Hisako Ōshima, was the champion of the second season of "Shall We Dance?", the Japanese version of "Dancing with the Stars".
*He was considered for the role of Sheriff Woody in the Japanese dub of "Toy Story" before Toshiaki Karasawa ("Minna no Ie") was cast.
*Because of his wide vocal range, he is sometimes known as nihongo|The Man Who Has the Voice of Seven Colors|七色の声を持つ男|Shichishoku no Koe wo Motsu Otoko, often playing characters who are cool, heroic, or comedic.
*He took over much of the ongoing roles of Kei Tomiyama after his death in 1995.
*He has dubbed over numerous Disney roles, including Donald Duck, Beast, Genie, Mushu, Stitch, and Sebastian. He is also known for dubbing over a number of live-action actors, including Eddie Murphy, Stephen Chow, Jim Carrey, Brad Pitt, and Jean-Claude Van Damme.
