Kenta Miyake (Japanese: 三宅健太 Miyake Kenta) is a Japanese voice actor for the Pokémon anime.
Biography
Miyake was born on August 23, 1977 in Okinawa Prefecture, Japan. He mostly played characters of the day on the Pokémon anime until the death of Hirotaka Suzuoki, the original voice actor for Giovanni. As a result, starting in the Diamond & Pearl series, Miyake took over the role of the Team Rocket leader, in addition to playing other characters in the anime. Throughout his career, Miyake tended to be cast as muscular and overweight people with deeper voices. He is currently affiliated with the talent agency 81 Produce and won the Best Supporting Actor Award during the 13th Seiyu Awards of 2019.
