Here are some instances of characters that are surprisingly voiced by the same person. Troy Baker is one of the most well-known voice actors in the industry today, so much so that most who know his work will be able to identify his voice.

Nobuhiko Okamoto is the voice behind Katsuki Bakugo, and he has voiced many other beloved anime characters, too.

Employing a female seiyuu allows the character a high-pitched, youthful, cute sound, and the series can go on for decades without any need to replace the voice (whereas if a young male had been cast, his voice might break and become too low for the character).
Seiyuu become very popular due to the characters that they voice and there is even a whole fanbase dedicated to them.Natsuki Hanae (花江 夏樹) Natsuki Hanae. ...

Not all of Nobuhiko Okamoto's roles involve angry and aggressive characters like Katsuki Bakugo. Some of them involve gentler and more ordinary anime characters, such as Kota Tomiie in the high school rom-com Toradora!. Kota and Katsuki Bakugo aren't exactly birds of a feather.
Bakuman is a popular manga/anime franchise focusing on the manga industry itself, and this provides fascinating insight to many fans around the world. Clearly, drawing an ongoing manga series is stressful and tricky work at best, but the talented Eiji Niizuma thought it was easy and fun.
Nobuhiko Okamoto can voice energetic and fierce characters with great skill, but he's not exactly typecast for voicing Katsuki Bakugo-style roles. Mr. Okamoto is more flexible than that, and he was the talent behind the voice of Takumi Usui, the smooth male love interest of Maid-Sama!.
Blue Exorcist is a fantasy action anime series that should appeal to fans of D.Gray-Man and Soul Eater, and the protagonist, Rin Okumura, doesn't just have to face Satan and slay the feared Beast. In fact, Satan is Rin's father, making this battle a personal one.
Daily Lives of High School boys is an alternate take on the "cute girls doing cute things" subgenre, being roughly the male version of series such as Azumanga Daioh and Laid-Back Camp. Not many series take this approach, but this one does, and it makes for a fun watch. And Nobuhiko Okamoto had a hand in it.
A small handful of My Hero Academia voice actors voice some roles in the Golden Wind story arc of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, such as Izuku's voice actor handling the role of Narancia Ghirga and Eraserhead's voice actor portraying Leone Abbacchio. Then there's Nobuhiko Okamoto, who voices a villain.
Ryo Kurokiba is one of several of Nobuhiko Okamooto's characters who not only share Bakugo's voice, but also his attitude. Ryo is a student at the elite Totsuki culinary school, and he is known for his fiercely competitive attitude and his affinity for seafood. He is also Alice Nakiri's loyal companion, but not exactly her friend.

3 Pete The Cat (Kingdom Hearts) And Urdnot Wrex (Mass Effect 2 & 3): Jim Cummings.

Steve Blum has voiced a number of characters in cartoons, anime, and video games alike and has a distinctive gruff voice. While this same gruffness can be found in Sub Zero, the disciplined and collected fighter and leader of the Lin Kuei. The same cannot be said though for Grunt who is always aching for a fight and lacks ...
However, Cummings also provides the voice for the more commanding and brash Urdnot Wrex, who is the leader of Clan Urdnot in Mass Effect should Wrex die. Cummings may have a distinct voice, but much like with Steve Blum, it is hard to tell he is also Pete since his voice is pitched low to sound like krogan. Either way, the man gives an overall ...
