Biography

Makio Inoue (井上 真樹夫, Inoue Makio, November 30, 1938 – November 29, 2019) was a Japanese actor and voice actor. He began voice acting in the 1960s, landing small roles in Astroboy, and was the actor of choice for deep-voiced, serious males in the 1970s. He is most noted for his two longstanding roles, as the title character in Captain Harlock from 1978 through the 1980s and 1990s (Kōichi Yamadera of Neon Genesis Evangelion and Cowboy Bebop fame took over this role in 1998), and Goemon Ishikawa XIII of Lupin III from 1977 to 2011 (taking over from Chikao Ōtsuka, who played the role in 1971 and 1972). He was succeeded in the role of Goemon by Daisuke Namikawa.
