Frog), Amshel Goldsmith (Blood+), the Count of Monte Cristo (Gankutsuō), Alucard (Hellsing), Kirei Kotomine (Fate/stay night) and Diethard Reid in Code Geass and its sequel Code Geass Lelouch of Rebellion R2.
[edit] History
Nakata attended Toho Gakuen College of Drama and Music, starring in much jidaigeki and tokusatsu projects. He advanced to voice acting activity upon seiyū Michiko Nomura's recommendation, and began his career in voice acting in the 1990s.
Nakata has an established reputation for his astringent voice, usually being typecast as either the proud intellectual veteran soldier (Corporal Giroro in Sgt. Frog) or the narrator (Gokujou Seitokai). He has also voiced three major villain characters for Type-Moon works (Nrvnsqr Chaos in Melty Blood, Kirei Kotomine in Fate/stay night, and Souren Araya in Kara no Kyoukai).
