Ryūzaburō Ōtomo (大友 龍三郎 Ōtomo Ryūzaburō?) (May 18, 1952 - ) is a Japanese seiyū, actor and narrator from Tōkyō. He is currently affiliated with Aoni Production as of December 2006, and was formerly affiliated with 81 Produce and the Tokyo Actor's Consumer's Cooperative Society. He stands at 186 centimeters (6'1") and his blood type is A.
Ōtomo possesses a low voice and shrill laugh, and so often voices calm, violent, treacherous or sneaky characters, either in children's programs such as Mahōjin Guru Guru (as Lord Giri) and Montana Jones (as Zero) or in villainous roles such as Yūsha Keisatsu J-Decker (as Jūsan Saejima). He has taken over ongoing roles for seiyūs Shigezō Sasaoka, Eiji Kanie, Shinji Nakae, Daisuke Gōri and Hirotaka Suzuoki after their deaths. A number of his foreign film-dubbing roles are occupied by Tesshō Genda in different editions of those films.
