Naoki Tatsuta, a distinguished and accomplished Japanese voice actor and narrator, emerged into the world on September 8, 1950, in the picturesque town of Iwade, which would later undergo a transformation to city status within the Naga District of Wakayama Prefecture. Before assuming his current professional moniker, Naoki Tatsuta, he was also familiarly known by the alias 竜田 直樹, which shares a similar reading with his current stage name. As a multifaceted and gifted performer, he is currently affiliated with Aoni Production, a highly respected and esteemed Japanese talent agency, renowned for its roster of accomplished artists.
Tatsuta's most striking attribute is his legendary portrayal of Oolong in the cherished anime series Dragon Ball, a character that has seamlessly woven itself into the very fabric of Japanese popular culture, leaving an indelible mark that continues to captivate audiences to this day.
