Notes[]
- He shares the same name with another voice actor named "Yuichi Nakamura", who voiced Beet J. Stag in Tokumei Sentai Go-Busters. Nakamura (the actor) has acknowledged this and expressed interest in working on a future project with his voice actor counterpart,[2][3] which was ultimately granted when the two appeared on-screen together in live-action sequences of the anime Pop Team Epic, with Nakamura (the voice actor) dubbing over the lines of one of two characters portrayed by Nakamura (the actor), with both characters being jokingly named "Nakamura" as a gag.[4]
