Ever sit down to play a game and a quarter-of-the-way through listening to a character speak on-screen, you start thinking to yourself, "Hey, don't they sound kinda familiar?" We've all been there. Characters sharing voice actors is nothing new, but there are definitely a handful voices you'll come across more than others - Yuri Lowenthal is one of them.
The Ohio-born talent has blessed us with top-notch character deliveri🥃es with an unmistakable distinctness for over twenty-five years. He has brought to life some of the mos🏅t memorable characters found in anime and videogames, still widely popular today; even in a few cherished childhood games you might not have known about!
10 Marth: Fire Emblem 🍸

It seems fitting that a character as classic and recognizable as Marth across numerous franchises would be voiced by someone just as classic and equally recognizable as Lowenthal himself. Those unfamiliar with 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Fire Emblem might know him best from the highly-popular brawler, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Super Smash Bros. but theꦏ Altean Prince has been cherished for over three decades - and rightfully so - as the very first hero of the very first Fire Emblem game in the series.
Lowenthal still voices various iterations of Marth that appear in 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Fire Emblem: Heroes to this day. Lowenthal also made a vocal appearance in 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Dragalia Lost as Marth during a Fire Emblem: Heroes crossover event.
9 Naruto: Sasuke Uchiha ⛦
You can't bring up Naruto without bringing up Sasuke, the story's second-lead, long-time antagonist to himself, his friends, and the entirety of the Konoha Leaf Village. From the anime have come over 40 games for consoles alone, nevermind the plethora of mobile apps that have ranged from hack-and-slash to MMORPGs as the years have gone by. And you'll find Lowenthal as Sasuke in all of them.
Is there anything more iconic than Lowenthal's angst-ridden, howling his best friend's name as he attempts to kill him, but also doing his best to save him in dire situations? (There is, actually, but we'll get to that later).
8 🉐 Genshin Impact: 𝕴Dainsleif
168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Genshin Impact received incredi🎃ble buzz months before its release, with a ma🐻ssive player base that makes it one of the most popular free to play games currently out. As it swept through the gaming world with a roster of other notable voice actors hopping aboard, there came a wonder if Lowenthal would make an appearance in a video game so up-his-alley.
And he did - as Khaenriah's Twilight Sword, a cursed and weary, yet passionate and determined 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Captain of a lost Guard. His soulful timbre coupled with deep lore and a backstory of angst do🍰es not disappoint.
7 🦋 Persona: Makoto And Yosuke 𒐪
-1.jpg?q=50&fit=crop&w=825&dpr=1.5)
The celebrated Persona series is more than well-known; it's one of the most famous modern turn-based roleplaying games. He voices Yosuke Hanamura in Persona 4 and 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Persona 4: Golden, a ladies' man with 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:goofball mannerisms and clumsiness.
Lowenthal also voices the role of Makoto Yuki, the private and reserved leading character of Persona 3: Dancing in the Moonlight. Makoto doesn't speak in-game, but he does in battle, and the image of 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Persona 3 has become synonomous with the trigger-pulling summoning of his persona through his Evoker. Both Yosuke and Makoto were in Persona Q, the crossover between Persona 3 and 4.
6 ꦐ Ben Tennyson: Ben 1꧟0
Ben discovered the Omnitrix and it gave him the ability to transform into ten different ⛦aliens, speak a myriad of foreign languages, and hone himself into an Earth-protecting-hero, all at the ag𒈔e of sixteen. Lowenthal, an avid fan of Ben 10 himself, voiced the role of Ben in the cartoon and in its video games.
But it wasn't just Ben, he played. He also took on the voices of all of Ben's aliens, each with distinct personalities and unique patterns of speech. The perfect combo of a main character and voice actor who can do it all.
5 Marvel's Spider-Man: Peter Parker/Spider-Man
Peter Parker is everyone's friendly neighborhood 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Spider-Man. Although still growing with teenage pains and tragedies, he'll always don his suit to lend a hand to those in need, with a righteous moral compass and earnest heart of gold. While Spider-Man has shuffled through a few voice actors for Peter, Lowenthal has largely stayed the choice for the hero in Marvel's Spider-Man and the mobile app, Spider-Man Unlimited.
As Spider-Man Unlimited's main plot is based around saving and protecting Spider-Men from across the multiverse against the Sinister Six, Lowenthal voices a majority of those other Spideys as well.
4 Tales Of The Ab🐈yss: Asch The Bloody And Luke Fon Fabre
There's nothing quite like watching someone fight with themselves. Tales of the Abyss is an incredible and highly-loved installment in the 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Tales of JRPG series, centered around changing pre-determined fates🐻 of the Verse, alongside Fomicry, and the creation of replicas from their original bodies.
From start-to-end, the brash and childish Luke butts heads with his original Ashe, who is infinitely more calculating, wrathful and wrought with inner anguish. It's fascinating to witness as Lowenthal goes back-and-forth as Luke, trying insecurely to make up for his past mistakes while Ashe barks out a sharp, Dreck! and unleashes cries of, Replicaaaaaaa! in response.
3 ꧃ The Lord of the Rings: Frodo
Bet you didn't expect this. While Elijah Wood does indeed voice the role of Frodo Baggins in most media outside of 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:The Lord of the Rings movie series. But so does Lowenthal, at times, and at this point, we're not even surprised the wonderful voice actor plays the equally wonderful Hobbit from the Shire.
You can find Lowenthal as Frodo in The Lord of the Rings: War in the North, The Lord of the Rings: Aragorns Quest, as well as The Lord of the Rings: Conquest and The Lord of the Rings Lego video game. All with different styles of combat, quests, and un🌟ique plots based loosely around the original content of J.R.R. Tolkien.
2 ♓ Dead Or Alive: Haꦬyate
Hayate has been in the 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Dead or Alive series since the first game r🔥eleased. He is currently involved in the war with DOATEC𓂃 and the Mugen Tenshin Ninja Clan.
Terse, stoic, and yet remniscent of a youth who had their childhood joys ripped away, we're not sure what it is, but Lowenthal really does play the part of closed-off characters with tragic pasts well.
1 🥀 TMNT: Donatello
You settled on the couch to give TMNT: Out of the Shadows a try, and all of a sudden you come to the realization you're hearing an awfully familiar voice. You then turn the cover of the game over only to find out it's Yuri Lowenthal who found his way into the 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:TMNT universe as the beloved genius turtle.
It's like hearing Sasuke and Hayate voicing Donatello, only in a slightly more violent manner. An absolute treat. It really is a pleasure seeing your favorite voice actors pop-up in all your favorite games.
